Wamberal Market Report | 2025
Wamberal continues to shine as one of Australia’s most soughtafter coastal suburbs, consistently ranking among the top searched beachside locations in both New South Wales and across the nation. With its pristine beach, thriving lifestyle offerings, vibrant community, and proximity to Terrigal and the golf course, it’s easy to see why Wamberal is held in such high regard.
Over the past 12 months, we have witnessed a noticeable shift in the market. After navigating a challenging economic period marked by a series of interest rate hikes and broader global uncertainty, the tide is beginning to turn. The Reserve Bank’s recent decision to ease interest rates has been a welcomed change, injecting a renewed sense of optimism into the market. Buyer confidence is growing, and as a result, we are seeing increased activity and stronger levels of enquiry.
Wamberal has remained impressively resilient throughout, underpinned by consistently tight supply levels and a quality pool of lifestyle-driven buyers. These fundamentals have kept the suburb stable, even when others wavered.
Now, with the economic outlook improving and sentiment lifting, we’re seeing the early stages of a market rebound. Buyers are recognising that the window of opportunity is shifting, and sellers are benefitting from renewed energy and demand.
We expect 2025 to continue on this positive trajectory, with steady growth, increased competition for premium properties, and a market that rewards well-presented homes in desirable locations like Wamberal.

Why choosing the right agent is important
There is a huge difference between agents in the market. It takes decades to become an expert in buyer behavior, negotiations, and the ability to build value in a listing. Premium properties increase the importance and the difficulty of each of these elements.
As the number one team in Australia, we excel in all areas of real estate, and pride ourselves on being able to consistently deliver premium price points through our sales and negotiation skills.
However, being top agents requires more than just sales skills, with the best performers also able to understand their client’s needs and intuit their expectations.
Our difference comes from our commitment to the happiness of each client and the ability to earn the trust of the people we represent. We understand that homes hold financial and sentimental value and that the process of buying and selling requires communication, transparency and understanding.
Our team is widely regarded as some of the most skilled negotiators in Australia, but it is our ability to combine this with our personal values that truly sets us apart in the high-end market.
Our clients know that we will personally handle their property, and that our time will be spent influencing the price of their listing to ensure the best possible result.
Meet our Buyers Agents
We are proud to be the only team on the Central Coast with dedicated buyer agents. With over 30 years of combined experience in buyer service, our buyer agents play a crucial role in ensuring our clients achieve the best possible results.
Having a dedicated buyer team allows us to build deeper relationships, establish stronger trust, and provide a higher level of service to both buyers and sellers. By actively managing a wider buyer pool, we can create more competition for our listings and reach qualified buyers that others simply cannot.
Our buyer agents dedicate time every day to making outgoing calls and engaging directly with large buyer databases across both Sydney and the Central Coast, including McGrath’s extensive network. This targeted approach means we are not just waiting for buyers to come to us, we are proactively finding them and matching them to the right properties.
The result for our clients is a broader reach, stronger interest, and ultimately, better outcomes. We believe that this commitment to buyer service is a true point of difference and a major reason why our team consistently achieves outstanding results.

Selling Off Market vs On Market: What’s the Difference and Why Off Market Might Be Right for You
When it comes time to sell your property, one of the first decisions you will need to make is whether to go on-market or off-market. Both methods have their merits, but understanding the difference and the advantages of each can help you choose the right path based on your goals, timing, and circumstances.
On Market Sale
An on-market sale refers to a publicly advertised campaign. Your property is listed on major real estate portals, promoted through signage, open homes, digital marketing, and print advertising. The goal is maximum exposure, driving competitive interest from a wide pool of buyers.
Pros:
• High visibility across all buyer types
• Often encourages multiple offers and competitive bidding
• Structured auction or campaign timelines
Considerations:
• Opens your home to public viewings and scrutiny
• Requires full marketing investment upfront
• Pricing can be influenced by market perception
Off Market Sale
An off-market sale is a more discreet, targeted approach. Your property isn’t advertised publicly; instead, it’s introduced privately to our curated database of qualified buyers. We facilitate this with our strong buyer networks and deep local insight.
Benefits of an Off Market Sale:
Privacy & Discretion
If you value confidentiality, whether due to personal, financial, or lifestyle reasons, selling off market allows you to keep the sale private. There’s no online footprint, no signage, and no open homes.
Smoother Negotiations
Off market transactions are often less transactional and more relationship driven. Without the pressure of public competition, negotiations can be more direct and collaborative, often resulting in quicker outcomes.
Potential for a Premium Price
When introduced to highly motivated and pre-qualified buyers in a lowcompetition environment, your property can often achieve a premium price particularly when scarcity and exclusivity come into play.
Flexible Timing
Without a public campaign schedule, you have more control over the process. This is ideal for sellers who want to test the market quietly or are waiting for the perfect buyer before fully committing to sell.
Targeted Buyer Pool
Off market strategies allow agents to match your home with serious, finance-ready buyers who are actively searching for a property just like yours—even if it isn’t listed.

“We chose Jordan Bulmer to sell our home because he and the McGrath Terrigal team were outstanding in providing what we needed. Solid data and market analytics, a great data base from their national network, very professional and quick turnaround on marketing collateral, excellent communication, weekly reports on potential buyers, personal attendance at all open houses, savvy negotiating skills that garnered a pre-auction sale at a great price and a most personable style. Thoroughly recommend him.”
- Vendor
“We spoke with 6 different agents before selling - we chose Trev because he actually listened to our motivations and tailored a campaign to match.
Trev is super approachable and knowledgeable - without being pushyand genuinely cares about the service he provides and the results he achieves.
We couldn’t have asked more of this team during the campaign, always keeping us up-to-date, and super responsive to questions etc.
Trev was a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend him.”
- Vendor
“We recently sold our dad’s property with Trev and his team. After being on the market with another agent, our experience with Trev was a complete turnaround. Trev kept us informed every step of the way. His professionalism and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. Trev and his team achieved a fantastic result for our family, and we are extremely grateful for their hard work. If you’re thinking of selling, we recommend giving Trev a call.”
- Vendor
“I’ve just sold my waterfront home with Jordan as lead agent-what an impressive professional from first meeting to bringing flowers yesterday on completion. His grasp of sales data, defining the buyers, effective marketing from presentation, pics & script to astute negotiating with potential purchasers resulted in a brisk seamless sales process & great price in a softening market. Jordan combines genuine empathy with a serious skill set in marketing & selling real estate in today’s market. 100%!!”
- Vendor
“Our experience with Jordan, Ash, and the team was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, we felt supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. The level of service we received was outstanding—every question was answered promptly, every detail was handled with professionalism, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.”
- Vendor
“Jordans professionalism, enthusiasm, genuine nature and suburb knowledge was the driving force for selecting him to be our agent. He and his team were in constant communication updating us along the process with all relevant information. Not only did he secure us a sale in a short period of time, but his negotiating skills were fantastic.
We are extremely happy with the entire process and highly recommend Jordan as an agent.”
- Vendor
“Outstanding Professionalism. Trevor and his team at McGrath Central Coast were simply outstanding. Trevor guided us through the process step by step, and no question went unanswered or request too difficult to undertake. Trevor achieved a result that well and truly exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t be happier with the result. Thank you for all your efforts and making the process seamless and as stress free as possible. I would highly recommend Trevor and his team at McGrath Central Coast.”
- Vendor
“I wanted to write a few heart felt words to say thank you for the outstanding work you and your team did on my property in Terrigal. You delivered everything you said you would plus more, and the price was outstanding. Beyond my expectations!
I am sure had I not used you, the outcome would have been very different. You came highly recommended, and I am glad I listened to the advice because the entire transaction was so flawless, even down to the organising and disposal of my furniture and additional items as this was very important because I don’t live in the area.
In short you were incredible, and I can’t thank you enough as your industry is fraught with over promises and under delivery.”
