Parramatta is Western Sydney's CBD — a major transport hub on the T1 line, approximately 25km from Sydney's CBD. The Parramatta Light Rail, the metro extension, and one of the highest concentrations of high-rise construction in Greater Sydney have created years of sustained demand for all trades. Electricians, HVAC technicians, formwork carpenters, and site supervisors working in and around Parramatta are among the highest earners in the Western Sydney tradie workforce.
Property prices in Parramatta reflect its status as a genuine second CBD. Apartments start from $600,000–$750,000, townhouses from $750,000–$950,000, and houses from $900,000–$1,100,000+. Tradies with strong gross income — even if their tax return doesn't show it all — can access these markets with the right lender and the right broker.
We know which lenders add back vehicle and tool deductions, which accept BAS-based income evidence, and which understand how subcontracting income works across a 12-month construction cycle.
