Sellers in these suburbs previously struggled to attract prospective home buyers. These areas, which were affected significantly by the housing downturn, would now appeal once again to buyers, SQM Research director Louis Christopher told The Daily Telegraph.

"The inner west was hit particularly hard by the downturn," he said.

Suburbs in inner west tend to rebound earlier compared to other parts of Sydney as buyers are more inclined to buy homes that are closer to the central business district, McGrath-Newtown agent Adrian Tsavalas said.

"There is an expectation that now is a very good time to buy," he told The Daily Telegraph.
