Podcast Episode #110 - Why buyers keep chasing the northern beaches
Fri Feb 06 2026
Welcome to another edition of the Propertybuyer Podcast
Today we are turning our attention to one of Australia’s most iconic lifestyle markets, the Northern Beaches, and in particular the long-term performance of Manly.
My guest is Jake Rowe, a leading Northern Beaches agent with The Agency, known for his deep local knowledge, strong results, and an on-the-ground understanding of what actually drives value in this part of Sydney. Jake has been involved in some of the area’s most significant sales and has witnessed firsthand how buyer demand, pricing, and expectations have evolved over time.
In this podcast, we will unpack the rise and resilience of the Northern Beaches market, and why it continues to command a premium, and what long-term performance can teach buyers and sellers about scarcity, lifestyle, and timing. If you want a practical, and a hyper local perspective on where this market has been and where it may be heading next, this is a discussion you will want to hear.
