No 1 Church Street at dusk, Dubbo NSW.
While much of the NSW property market is experiencing a shift in buyer activity, Dubbo is attracting attention for all the right reasons.
According to the latest quarterly property purchasing data from InfoTrack, Dubbo ranked number one overall in NSW for buyer activity in the September 2026 quarter, retaining the top position for a second consecutive quarter.
The findings, reported by news.com.au and realestate.com.au, highlight the growing appeal of regional centres as buyers look beyond Sydney in search of more affordable property options, employment opportunities and access to essential services.
A changing property market
The research also points to a shift in the types of properties buyers are purchasing across NSW.
Houses accounted for 55 per cent of property purchases in the September quarter, down from 67 per cent in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, strata properties accounted for 37 per cent of purchases, reflecting a changing mix of property choices across the state.
For buyers, affordability and lifestyle are becoming important considerations when deciding where and how they want to live.
Why Dubbo?
