House Price Data

To June 2025, Sydney dwelling values rose 1.3% y/y (median $1.21m), while Regional NSW gained 3.5% (Cotality HVI). With easing rates and low listings, most expect only modest gains through late-2025, constrained by affordability. (Cotality HVI; ABC recap, Aug 2025). (Cotality, ABC)

Rent Data

Sydney’s annual rent growth eased to 1.9% to June 2025 (Cotality QRR). Vacancy remains <2% across Sydney (REINSW, Jun 2025), indicating a still-tight market and persistent affordability pressure for households despite some stabilisation. (REINSW; Cotality QRR). (REINSW, Square Queensland)

Why Choose Rent-to-Buy Houses & Homes in New South Wales

  1. Unlocking Rent-to-Own Options in NSW for Families and First-Time Buyers

    New South Wales offers a lifestyle many people dream about: unbeatable surf, easy access to world-class national parks, and thriving cities that cater to both professionals and families. But with the median house price now sitting above $900,000—and apartments not far behind—the traditional path of saving a 10–20% deposit has become out of reach for most.
    That’s why rent-to-buy homes in New South Wales are becoming such a popular alternative. Instead of waiting years to save, you can move into your chosen home with 0% upfront deposit. From day one, you pay your standard rent plus a fixed contribution of 50%. Those contributions automatically build up your deposit in the background, giving you the financial foundation you’ll need to switch to a mortgage when the time is right.
    It’s a way to enjoy the lifestyle you want today, while creating a structured path toward ownership.

    When You Rent-to-Buy a House in NSW

    PublicSquare was created to bridge the gap between renting and homeownership with our rent-to-own homes service. Unlike banks or lenders, we provide an alternative pathway that removes the upfront barriers to getting started.
    Renting traditionally means paying for the right to live in someone else’s property without building equity. With PublicSquare, every payment contributes toward your future deposit. Instead of struggling to save while prices keep climbing, you can secure a property with 0% deposit and build your deposit steadily as part of your lease.
    This approach is designed for modern buyers who want flexibility, certainty, and a genuine shot at entering the NSW housing market.

    Searching for a NSW Rent-to-Buy Home

    From coastal towns like Casuarina to the bustling suburbs of Sydney, PublicSquare works alongside you to find and secure the right home. Our professional buyers’ agents negotiate directly with sellers or property investors on your behalf, ensuring you get the best possible outcome.
    Whether you’re looking for a family home, your first apartment, or a coastal retreat, Rent to own homes can help you secure it, while your deposit builds automatically in the background.

    But Where Are the Hidden Fees?

    Transparency is central to our model. With PublicSquare’s NSW rent-to-buy program, there are no surprise hidden fees.
    You’ll cover:

    • A once-off application fee.

    • Standard legal advice (usually around $1,100).

    • A rental bond (typically four weeks’ rent).

    • A small weekly support fee.
      That’s it. You pay your normal rent and your our 50% weekly contributions towards your deposit stay fixed until you buy. No initial lenders mortgage insurance, stamp duty, or upfront deposit required.

    Get Started Free

    PublicSquare has already helped homebuyers begin their journey with rent-to-buy homes in Queensland. Now, the same smarter pathway is available across New South Wales.
