       pressures putting large lot sizes
       beyond the reach of many first
       home buyers.
       The UDIA’s 2023 State of the
       Land Report reveals that over
       the 2021-2022 year the median
       price of greenfield lots in Greater
       Sydney increased by 31 per cent
       and the number released fell 35 per
       cent, placing further pressure on
       affordability.
       Cobbitty by Mirvac offers home
       sites ranging from around 270sqm
       to more than 1,000sqm, the intent
       being to attract a diversity of buyers
       including first home buyers and
       those looking to build a luxurious
       home on a large landholding.
       “Affordability is a persistent issue
       in every capital city market and
       breaking into the market with your
       first home is always the hardest,”
       says Mr Long.
