Compared to Greater Sydney, Tuggerah-Kangy Angy has significantly less development activity, 86.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established dwellings. However, development activity has picked up in recent periods. Building activity currently consists entirely of detached houses, preserving the area's low density nature and attracting space-seeking buyers.

Developers are building more traditional houses than the current mix suggests, indicating continued strong demand for family homes despite density pressures. The estimated population per dwelling approval is 970 people, reflecting the area's quiet, low activity development environment. Population forecasts indicate Tuggerah-Kangy Angy will gain 409 residents by 2041. If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing competition among buyers and supporting stronger price growth.
