Who is Jack Tinworth?

Jack Tinworth is a licensed real estate agent with TRG, based at the Hunters Hill office at 94 Woolwich Road, Woolwich. He grew up on the Hunters Hill peninsula and has sold property since 2017, working on more than 300 sales across 19 Sydney postcodes and setting a suburb record. He sells across Hunters Hill, Woolwich, Huntleys Point, Henley, Gladesville and Tennyson Point.

What is my Hunters Hill home worth?

The median house price in Hunters Hill has run between $3.3 and $4.2 million across recent reporting periods. The median tells you little in an area where a heritage cottage and a deep-water block sit in the same street. Jack Tinworth prices off comparable recent sales, aspect, land size, water frontage and heritage status. He provides a written appraisal in person, free, with no obligation to list.

How long does it take to sell a house in Hunters Hill?

Houses in Hunters Hill average around six weeks on market. Units run longer. A four-week auction campaign plus auction day is standard. Off-market sales can complete faster, sometimes within a fortnight, because the buyers are already qualified. Allow another two to three weeks before launch for styling, photography and film.

Should I sell by auction or private treaty in Hunters Hill?

Auction suits homes where the value is uncertain: waterfront, heritage, anything without a close comparable. Competition sets the price. Private treaty suits homes with clear comparables and sellers who want control over timing and confidentiality. Jack Tinworth recommends one over the other after seeing the home, not before.

Can I sell my home in Hunters Hill without listing it publicly?

Yes. A significant share of Hunters Hill peninsula sales never reach a portal. Jack Tinworth matches off-market homes to buyers already registered with TRG, both locally and in the eastern suburbs. No signboard, no advertised price, no open home. It suits deceased estates, separations and owners who would rather the street did not know.

Does heritage listing affect what my Hunters Hill home sells for?

Most of Hunters Hill sits inside a heritage conservation area and many homes carry individual listings. It restricts what a buyer can alter. In Hunters Hill that is usually a premium rather than a discount, because buyers come here for the sandstone. What matters at sale is presenting the approvals history clearly, so buyers price certainty instead of risk.

What does it cost to sell a house in Hunters Hill?

Two components. The agent's commission, agreed in writing before you list. And the marketing budget, which you approve line by line. On a prestige home here that covers film, photography, styling and portal placement. Jack Tinworth sets both out in the appraisal, so there is nothing to discover later.

Which suburbs does Jack Tinworth sell in?

Hunters Hill, Woolwich, Huntleys Point, Huntleys Cove, Henley, Gladesville and Tennyson Point, the Hunters Hill peninsula, working from TRG's office at 94 Woolwich Road, Woolwich NSW 2110. Jack Tinworth has sold across 19 postcodes in greater Sydney since 2017.

Why use an eastern suburbs agency to sell on the Hunters Hill peninsula?

Because the buyer is not always local. TRG's database was built selling Vaucluse, Point Piper and Bellevue Hill: buyers who want water, heritage and privacy, and who will cross the bridge for a better version of it at a lower number. Jack Tinworth is from Hunters Hill. TRG brings the buyers who were not looking here.

What is the median house price in Hunters Hill?

Depending on the provider, between $4.18 million and $5 million as at mid 2026, all measured over a rolling twelve months. Domain reports by bedroom count instead: $3.15 million for three bedrooms, $4 million for four and $5.76 million for five. The spread reflects how few houses sell here rather than disagreement about the market.

Why do different websites give different medians for Hunters Hill?

Because roughly 100 houses sell a year, and each provider measures a slightly different window with a slightly different method. Two waterfront sales falling inside one provider's period and outside another's is enough to move the median by hundreds of thousands. Jack prices off comparable sales rather than published medians for this reason.

Did Hunters Hill property prices fall in 2026?

Yes, modestly. House values fell between 1.6% and 2.2% over the June quarter and between 0.9% and 4% over twelve months, depending on the source. For context, Sydney dwelling values fell 3.2% over the same quarter, the steepest of any capital city, so Hunters Hill declined by less than the city overall.

How many houses sell in Hunters Hill each year?

Around 102 to 105, or roughly 8.5 a month across the whole suburb. About 25 changed hands in the most recent quarter. Woolwich recorded five house sales in the entire twelve months, which is why no provider publishes a median for it.

How long does a house take to sell in Hunters Hill?

Between 38 and 63 days depending on the source, with the variation coming from whether the provider measures days advertised or days to exchange. Domain reports four bedroom houses at 51 days and five bedroom houses at 33. Well prepared campaigns sit at the lower end of that range.

How do Hunters Hill prices compare to Gladesville?

Gladesville's house median sits at $3,050,000 against Hunters Hill's figure of roughly $4.5 million. Gladesville also rose 0.83% over the June quarter while Hunters Hill fell, and it recorded 113 house sales against about 25. Its median is the more reliable of the two because it trades often enough to produce one.

What is the rental yield on a Hunters Hill house?

Between 1.55% and 1.96%, on a median weekly rent of about $1,500. That is low even by Sydney standards, which tells you this is a market bought for the asset and the address rather than for income.

Is now a good time to sell in Hunters Hill?

It depends far more on the house than on the quarter. In a market where borrowing capacity is the constraint, the buyer who can complete at your number is scarce, and finding them takes a campaign built around specific people rather than broad advertising. Jack's position is that preparation and buyer access matter more right now than timing does.

Hunters Hill Market Update Q2 2026: Local Insights

What Sydney did

The June quarter was the worst of this cycle for Sydney.

Cotality recorded Sydney dwelling values down 3.2% over the quarter and down 1.2% in June alone, the sharpest decline of any capital city. The national index fell 0.4% in June, its largest monthly drop since December 2022. Sydney finished the financial year down 3.7%, and sales volumes ran about 26% below the same period a year earlier.

Two forces are doing most of that. Borrowing capacity is constrained with the cash rate at 4.35%, and investors have pulled back ahead of the negative gearing and capital gains changes. Both bite hardest at premium price points, where serviceability is most stretched.

That is the water we are all swimming in this quarter. It is worth stating plainly, because a market update that tells you demand is unprecedented when the city just posted its worst quarter in years is not an update, it is marketing.

What Hunters Hill did

Houses in the area fell 1.62% over the quarter according to Your Investment Property, and 2.17% according to Smart Property Investment. Over twelve months the range runs from down 0.9% to down 4.01% depending on who you ask.

So the area fell, and it fell by roughly a point and a half less than Sydney overall. In a quarter where the city dropped 3.2%, that is the scarcity argument doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

Here is the awkward part. I cannot give you a clean Hunters Hill median for April to June, and neither can anybody else, because no provider publishes one. Every figure below is a twelve month rolling median to around May 2026, with the quarterly movement reported separately. On a suburb this small, three months of sales is not enough to calculate a median anyone should rely on.

Which brings me to the number everybody asks for.

The median, and why five sources give five answers

For the same suburb, over broadly the same period:

OpenAgent $4,180,000

Smart Property Investment $4,500,000

Your Investment Property $4,550,000

Cotality via Property Value $4,600,000

Allhomes $5,000,000

That is an $820,000 spread on the same question. Twenty per cent.

Domain does not publish a single median at all. It reports by bedroom count, which is more honest: three bedroom houses at $3.15m, four bedroom at $4m, five bedroom at $5.7625m.

None of these sources is wrong. They are measuring slightly different windows with slightly different methods, and when a suburb produces around 100 house sales a year, small differences in method move the answer a long way. Two waterfront results landing inside one provider's window and outside another's is enough to explain most of that gap.

If you take one thing from this update, take that. Your home is not worth the median. It is worth what a buyer will pay for your land, your aspect, your frontage and your approvals history, and the only way to find that number is comparable sales.

How thin the market actually is

Around 102 to 105 houses sold in Hunters Hill across the twelve months. OpenAgent recorded 25 house sales in the most recent three months. That is about 8.5 sales a month across the entire suburb.

Woolwich is starker. Five house sales in twelve months. Your Investment Property publishes no median, no quarterly growth and no annual growth for it because there is not enough data to produce them.

This is what tightly held means in practice. When a Woolwich owner asks me what their home is worth, the honest answer involves sales from other streets and other years, and a conversation about which of them are actually comparable.

Days on market ran between 38 and 63 depending on the source, which again is a methodology difference: some measure days advertised, others days to exchange. Domain has four bedroom houses at 51 days and five bedroom at 33.

Gladesville went the other way

While Hunters Hill houses fell, Gladesville rose 0.83% for the quarter and 1.67% over twelve months, to a median of $3,050,000. It recorded 113 house sales and 193 unit sales.

That is more transactions in Gladesville than in Hunters Hill and Woolwich combined, in a market a third cheaper. And it is the more reliable median of the two, precisely because it trades often enough to produce one.

The divergence makes sense. Gladesville sits at a price point where borrowing capacity still works. Hunters Hill sits at one where it is the binding constraint. In a quarter driven by serviceability, the cheaper end of the market was always going to hold better.

The unit numbers are not usable

I am including this because it illustrates the point better than anything else I could write.

Over twelve months, Hunters Hill units were reported at up 31.53% by one provider, up 19.42% by another, and down 22.2% by a third. Medians ranged from $880,000 to $1,533,000.

Roughly 38 units sell here in a year. At that volume, the composition of who happened to sell moves the median more than the market does. If anyone quotes you a Hunters Hill unit growth figure, ask them how many sales it is built on.

What I would tell an owner right now

Three things.

Hunters Hill outperformed Sydney this quarter and it still went backwards. If you are pricing off what your neighbour achieved in 2024, that number has moved.

Buyer depth is the thing to watch, not the median. In a market where borrowing capacity is the constraint, the buyer who can actually complete at your number is rarer than the buyer who admires the house. Campaigns have to find that specific person, which is where TRG's database earns its place.

Method matters more in a falling market. Where comparable sales are thin, competition on the day still finds the price better than an appraisal can. Where they are recent and clear, a defensible asking price and a controlled private treaty usually holds more of the value than an auction with three registered bidders.
