From luxury Sydney apartments to NSW house and land packages, these offers are a major help for buyers seeking property in Australia’s most expensive state.
Housing affordability continues to be a significant issue affecting Australians in 2024, but according to recent Australian Bureau of Statistics data, the tide is slowly turning as confidence builds.
“It has been a year since the RBA last raised interest rates,” said Housing Industry Association (HIA) economist, Maurice Tapang.
“Unchanged cash rate settings, supported by strong population growth, low unemployment levels and acute housing shortages, have helped lift consumer sentiment.”
Developers and builders are keenly aware that it’s been a tough climate – and some have crafted offers to remove common barriers and support prospective homeowners to take the leap.
What exactly does that mean for buyers? Attractive bonuses and incentives.

Buyers will have their pick from a range of generous offers:
- 2.5% deposit on exchange
- Stamp duty rebate
- 3% mortgage interest rate cover for up to two years
- 5% rental guarantee for two years
- Strata levy cover for three years
- Assistance with selling costs on existing property
- Generous Etymon hospitality dining voucher
- Premium six-star ‘Black Key’ Etymon Concierge service for three years
- Free interior design and furniture package
- Complimentary white glove relocation service
“This never-before-seen opportunity is designed to remove common purchasing barriers, or to make securing their new home in Aura easier,” said Aqualand’s Head of Sales & Marketing, Alex Adams.
“Some may wish to have us pay 3% of their mortgage interest rate, or reduce their deposit on exchange, or others may elect to elevate their new luxury lifestyle even more with amazing dining vouchers at our world-class Etymon venues or take advantage of our incredible Black Key concierge service.”
Located on Walker St and adjacent to the new Victoria Cross Metro station, recently completed Aura is a landmark North Sydney precinct comprising 386 units with prices ranging from $1.1 million to $8 million.
The luxury towers recently made headlines for setting a new sales record. Within days of the Sydney Metro opening in August, Aqualand sold $40 million worth of luxury units across all dwelling types – one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom residences.
Throughout August, Aura secured $70 million in sales – but the $40 million figure broke the north shore record for the highest sales revenue in one week.
Aqualand has also had success with their recently sold-out Blue at Lavender Bay and The Revy at Darling Island projects.
