The level of residential development activity in Edmondson Park was found to be higher than 90% of real estate markets across the country

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data shows Edmondson Park experienced around 354 dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 1772 homes. So far in FY-26, 34 approvals have been recorded. On average, 5.1 people moved to the area for each dwelling built between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating substantial demand lagging supply, which typically leads to heightened buyer competition and pricing pressures. New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost of $435000, higher than regional norms due to quality-focused development.

This financial year has seen $64.4 million in commercial development approvals, demonstrating high levels of local commercial activity. Building activity shows 29% detached dwellings and 71% medium and high-density housing, marking a significant shift from the current 84% houses, suggesting diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. The location has approximately 67 people per dwelling approval, indicating an expanding market. Population forecasts estimate Edmondson Park will gain 10128 residents by 2041.

With current construction levels, housing supply should meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
