Buyers Agent Double Bay

Buying property in Double Bay is difficult due to its scarcity and tightly held market. The suburb is centered around a village which includes dining, boutique retail and easy access to Sydney Harbour.

In this competitive market, a professional buyers agent in Double Bay can make a meaningful difference in your sourcing and acquisition of residential property.

At Buyers Market Buyers Agents, our focus is simple; we only represent the buyer, and that is all we do. We take the time to understand your property requirements, identify suitable opportunities across the village, and guide the process from search through to negotiation. The aim is to secure the right property at a competitive price.

Buying a house can be hard and stressful because the detached homes are scarce and high end apartments are often sold off the plan or off market. We remove the emotion in the transaction and provide certainty along your buying journey.

 

The Advantage of Working With a Buyers Agent

Whether you are looking for an apartment in Cross Street or a freestanding house on William St, we know the most sought after pockets. We have access to exclusive offmarket properties and by leveraging our strong relationships with key local real estate agents, we are able to provide you with the best possible information to make the right decision and secure the most ideal property at the right price.

Our process includes:

Step 1 – Setting the Strategy

Every search begins with a clear plan. Before we start looking for a new home, we make sure we know your goals, preferred locations, budget, timeline, and any other important things that you won’t change.

Step 2 – Access the Local Market

We don’t just look at public listings; we also use our database to find the best opportunities that fit your needs. This includes properties that are on the market, off the market, and before the market, all of which we find through our connected network.

Step 3 – Refine the Shortlist 

Our team reviews, physically inspects, and filters potential properties so you only focus on homes and apartments that align with your brief and objectives.

Step 4 – Inspect with Confidence

As your ‘on the ground’ buyers agent, we go to inspections with you or on your behalf, providing clear insights on the property, its value, and how it compares within the market.

Step 5 – Perform Due Diligence

Before any commitment or offer is submitted, we carefully review factors such as capital growth, contracts, the property itself, environmental risks and future development plans.

Step 6 – Negotiate or Bid

Once you are satisfied with the right property, we represent you in negotiations or at auction to secure the property on the best possible terms.

Step 7 – Oversight from Exchange to Settlement

We work with the selling agents, your lawyers, and other professionals to make sure that the last steps of the purchase go smoothly and that everything goes smoothly until settlement.

Step 8 – Support Past the Settlement

Our journey continues after the transaction is complete, offering guidance and support as you settle into your new property.

The Appeal of Buying in Double Bay 

Double Bay is a tightly held area with a strong village core. The village includes a range of luxury retail, premium hotel and dining precinct with Sydney Harbour right nearby. It also includes a range of heritage listed buildings, being one of the first suburbs in Australia established after 1788.

Double Bay includes access to a ferry, with regular services to Darling Point and Circular Quay – for easy access to the CBD for professionals.

Some key features and fundamentals of the suburb include

• A ‘cosmopolitan lifestyle’ with a walkable village
• A hub for hospitality venues including cafes, high end restaurants and pubs like The Royal Oak Hotel and The Golden Sheaf
• A range of boutique luxury retail outlets and pop up stores
• Easy access with stunning views to the harbour including The Double Bay Sailing Club and Redleaf Pool
• Commercial amenities along New South Head Road
• Woolworths and a range of retail stores

 

The Double Bay Property Market

Currently the median house price in Double Bay sits at $8,300,000, with units trending just above $2,000,000. These figures reflect a suburb that is amongst the most expensive residential markets in Australia.

The suburb is extremely tightly held. Strict planning controls limit what can be built, and with the harbour sitting to the north, the boundaries of Double Bay are fixed. There is simply no room to expand. As a result, this creates a scarcity driven market. Demand is consistent, but the number of homes available at any given time is not.

When a quality property does come to market, buyers move quickly and competition is strong.

Buyers purchasing in Double Bay are typically high net worth individuals motivated by long term capital preservation, lifestyle, and the confidence that comes with owning in a suburb that cannot replicate itself.

Double Bay has historically held its value well through market cycles as scarcity continues to underpin prices.

 

‘Little Europe’ on the shores of Sydney Harbour

The village feel of Double Bay is a major draw for buyers from various backgrounds. It is one of the few suburbs in Sydney where luxury and livability coexist.

The area features many heritage listed buildings and conservation zones that maintain its historic streetscape. Ornate facades, sandstone details, and leafy, tree lined streets give it a unique character and personality.

These protections largely contribute to Double Bay’s charm, and they play a key role in attracting buyers.

 

Lifestyle in Double Bay

It is easy to see why Double Bay is tightly held with daily life centered around the walkable village. It is the kind of suburb where morning coffee, a harbour swim and a decent meal are all within a ten minute walk of most front doors.

From a hospitality perspective, Indigo remains a long standing local favourite for alfresco dining, while Bibo Wine Bar draws regulars with its Mediterranean share plates and extensive wine list, and Matteo serves elevated pasta and pizza in a relaxed indoor/outdoor setting.

Notable landmarks in the suburb include the Double Bay Wharf precinct, Steyne Park by the waterfront, Seven Shillings Beach, Redleaf Pool, and the boutique retail laneways off Bay and Knox streets that have shaped the suburb’s identity for decades.

The Royal Oak Hotel is a heritage corner pub that has been a fixture of local life for over 150 years

For schooling and education, families have access to a range of local schools catering to their needs

• Double Bay Public School caters for Kindergarten through Year 6
• Rose Bay Secondary College is also nearby in Rose Bay
• Kambala is a private school in Rose Bay
• Ascham and Cranbrook are also within close reach

Private Treaty Sales in Double Bay

In a suburb where many owners have held their properties for decades, the decision to sell is often a very private one. Vendors in this market are typically not motivated by speed or exposure. They are motivated by discretion, the right buyer and the right outcome. As a result, a large portion of transactions are handled privately through agent networks, with most not reaching internet portals and ‘on market’.

The properties appearing publicly represent only a portion of what is actually available at any given time.

When representing clients in the area, our role is to remove the pressure of sourcing the right property at the right price.

We assist our clients by:

• Establishing a clear strategy
• Sourcing properties in a tightly held area
• Developing a plan for negotiations
• Representing you during the negotiation process
