Newer Bayonet Head (Oyster Harbour side)
- Modern layouts, low maintenance appeal.
- Strong pull for first home buyers and buyers moving out of rentals.
- Still Bayonet Head, still the same suburb demand story, just a different style of stock.

What the numbers are saying
Bayonet Head has recorded strong growth across the last 12 to 24 months, with some figures showing growth above
20 percent depending on property type and position.
The important bit is what that does to buyer behaviour. It lifts urgency, tightens negotiation, and rewards sellers who launch with a clean strategy.
Seller tip:
If you try to “test the market” with a lazy price, you usually get silence.
If you price with intent and present properly, you usually get action.
