The unit market is the bigger one, and it is falling
This is the thing to understand about The Entrance North before you look at anything else.
More units sold here than houses, 35 against 28. That is unusual on the Central Coast. And while houses rose 4.2% over the year, units fell 12.6%, to a median of $651,000.
Two markets, moving in opposite directions, in the same suburb. If you own a unit here and you are working from a house headline, you will price it wrong.
Nearly a third of the homes here are empty most of the year
At the 2021 Census there were 1,004 private dwellings in the suburb and 300 of them, 31.6%, were unoccupied on census night. Nearly one in three.
The Entrance North is a holiday suburb. A large share of its housing is weekenders, holiday lets and second homes owned by people who live elsewhere. That single fact explains most of what looks odd in the data:
- Why the income figure looks low against the prices. Median household income here was $1,331 a week at the 2021 Census, below the NSW median, while houses now trade at $1,250,000. The people who own a lot of this housing are not counted as living in it.
- Why stock sits. Both houses and units take around 55 days to sell. Holiday-home owners are rarely forced sellers, so they hold out on price.
- Why units are falling while houses rise. Units are the holiday stock. When holiday buyers step back, that is where it shows first.
- Why the buyer pool is different. A meaningful share of buyers here are not moving in. They are buying a place to use and let.
This month in The Entrance North
The Entrance North remains incredibly tightly held, but buyers are more price-conscious and selective in the current market. Correctly priced properties are still attracting genuine enquiry, and buyers will move quickly when they recognise value.
My biggest message to owners right now is don't price from yesterday's market. Presentation, position and getting the price strategy right from day one are what help create competition.
I'm fortunate to be speaking with local owners and active buyers every week, so my view of the market isn't based solely on historical sales data. It comes from what buyers are actually saying, inspecting, offering and ultimately prepared to pay right now.

How we price The Entrance North homes
Chantel does not price The Entrance North by postcode or by an online estimate. She prices it street by street, and sometimes house by house.
The differences that move value here are local and specific: beachside versus lakeside, north-facing land, block size, beach access, outlook, redevelopment potential, and where a property sits within a particular street.
The pockets she knows best are Manly Parade, Bondi Road, Florida Street, Leonard Street, Coogee Avenue, Hutton Road, Stewart Street, Hargraves Street and the surrounding quieter lakeside streets.
One campaign call she has made more than once is not to rush straight to market. When there are qualified buyers already looking for a particular property, testing it quietly off-market first has produced successful sales without the owner needing to run a full campaign.
Local knowledge is not just knowing what sold. It is understanding why it sold, who the buyers were, what they valued, and when the timing is right.
