Airport lifts real estate

HOME prices in pockets of Sydney’s far west have been growing at more than $2000 a day despite the rest of the city’s real estate turning ice cold.

Housing market figures show the west has been insulated from the slowdown in much of Sydney due to the Badgerys Creek Airport and infrastructure projects including the delivery of a $7 billion north-south rail link from St Marys to the new airport site.

The raft of improvements has been attracting throngs of investors and owner-occupier buyers to the area.
