AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Yarramundi - Londonderry, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

Yarramundi - Londonderry has recorded approximately 10 residential properties granted approval annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY21 to FY25, a total of 52 homes were approved, with an additional 5 approved in FY26 so far. On average, over these five years, about 1.2 new residents arrived per new home built. However, this figure has increased to 13.4 people per dwelling over the past two financial years, indicating a rise in demand and tightening supply.

The average construction value of development projects was $459,000, slightly above the regional average. In FY26, commercial development approvals totaled $826,000, suggesting a predominantly residential focus. Compared to Greater Sydney, Yarramundi - Londonderry shows significantly reduced construction activity, with 70% below the regional average per person. This constrained new construction typically supports demand and pricing for existing properties. The area's development has been entirely comprised of detached houses, maintaining its low-density nature and attracting space-seeking buyers.

As of now, there are an estimated 1245 people in the area per dwelling approval. By 2041, Yarramundi - Londonderry is projected to add 853 residents. If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing competition among buyers and supporting stronger price growth.
