Waratah is the established end: character homes, the Calvary Mater, the train line and people who have lived here for decades. Waratah West sits up the hill toward the university, with more post-war brick, bigger blocks and a steady run of families and investors. Georgetown is the one people forget, which is odd, because it has the highest median house price of the three and grew 15.5% in the last year. Dave has sold on most streets in 2298 more than once. He knows which ones buyers ask for by name, where the bigger blocks are located, which streets have the views, and what a renovated three-bedroom here actually sells for. ## How we sell in 2298 We start with the data, not a number designed to win your listing. You get the recent sales that matter to your home, the buyers already asking about 2298 on our database, and a plan with a clear first two weeks or campaigning.
