Homes go on sale all the time in Sydney, but what about brand new houses for sale in Sydney? And brand new means exactly that – homes that have never been lived in before by anyone else. There’s a huge appeal in buying an art deco fixer-upperer in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, but if you’re after price, convenience and size, opting for a newer house in one of Sydney’s fast-developing outer suburbs is a far better option. Particularly if you feel like it’s too late to snap up a property in Sydney!
You likely won’t have to lift a paintbrush or a hammer, and there’s a whole load of design pros, too. Open-plan kitchens, walk-in closets, and separate bathrooms for the kids all meet the demands of modern living. And one HUGE plus is they’re often a whole lot more energy efficient. You’ll know the struggle of trying to thaw out if you live in an old terrace in Sydney’s inner suburbs. The power bills! The endless frost! Brrrr!
Below you’ll find a list of suburbs that have brand new houses and units for sale springing up left, right and centre. When picking which suburbs were the best to buy a brand new house for sale in Sydney, we chose areas that:
- Had a median house price under $900k.
- Had to be within easy distance to public transport, or a major highway.
- And of course, easy to get to schools, the shops and the local tavern.

What started in the 90s as a way to ease Sydney’s mass-gentrification has now become the city’s fastest growing suburb. With two primary schools close by, a town centre with restaurants and plenty of childcare centres, Middleton Grange is very much so a family-friendly neighbourhood. You can’t beat that price, either!

Affectionately known to locals as ‘Bunya’, New Western Sydney’s latest suburb is an attractive option for first homebuyers, with one in three of 800 purchasers being newbies to the housing market. And with both public and private schools nearby, walking distance to shops and Doonside train station, it’s a considerable option for growing families. There are also new plans for the development of Bunya Estate, an affordable option for low-to-middle income families.

Like with most suburbs out west, Kellyville Ridge is attracting a lot of young families. So what makes Kellyville Ridge different? Locals say it’s one of the New West’s better-planned suburbs, with lots of parks, sporting fields and shopping centres near by. However, the lack of a train station might pose an issue for some. But the M2 and M7 will get you to the city via bus, and the North-West Rail Link is proposed to run through KR…someday.
There’s also many primary schools to choose from, including Kellyville Ridge Public School, John XXIII Primary. Nearby high schools include Glenwood High, Kellyville High and St Marks Catholic College. There are plans for a high school to be built in the area, but the State Government appears to be blocking any development. Still a great option.

If what you’re after is modern living, an economic living space, panoramic city views and skipping distance to Surry Hills, Newtown and Redfern, then Waterloo is your emerald city.

Just don’t buy anything off the plan!

Formerly part of the former surburb of Homebush Bay, Sydney Olympic Park is far more than just a sporting complex. Yes, you’ll have access to Olympic swimming pools amongst many other sporting attractions, but one of the main draw cards for this area is its accessibility. It was built for the masses, after all!
Most of the properties for sale are units, so the suburb attracts a lot of singles and young couples in their mid 20s and 30s. A great investment option for seasoned market buyers, and for young professionals, too.

If you’re looking for a brand new home that’s affordable, out of the city but with easy access to main highways and railway lines, Gregory Hills is about as brochure perfect as it gets. It has a low crime rate compared to the rest of NSW, more than likely because there’s nary a tavern or pub to speak of within the actual suburb itself. But don’t assume you’ll be isolated – Narellan Town Centre is just a few minutes drive away, offering you all the big retail names and a cinema. You’ll also have access to the M5, and the South West Rail Link when it’s up and running.
There’s plenty of home and land packages available, all at attractive prices for young, growing families.
