Building new is a wonderful opportunity to create your dream home. With countless options and inspiration available, an expo is a fun way to explore the latest trends and designs on offer – all in the one place.

Considering that almost one in three buyers eventually decide to build new homes, it's a great idea to explore what's available if you're even a little curious.

A perfect starting point for Sydney buyers is the HomeWorld Expo in Leppington on 13 October, 2024.

With over 90 display homes from 30 different building companies, you can empower yourself with valuable information on the new home journey by chatting with experts and learning all about building a new property – from land and financing to the build itself.

Throughout the day, informative sessions will be held at 10:30am, 12:30pm, and 2:30pm, featuring expert presentations on essential topics such as land, new home construction, market insights and financial planning.

You will also have the chance to learn about current and upcoming land releases across Sydney and its outer regions, providing an extensive understanding of available plots and future opportunities.

HomeWorld Expo is all about innovative home designs and empowering future home builders through education.

Why learn about building new?

Building new allows you to integrate modern, energy-efficient designs and the latest technology, reducing long-term maintenance and utility costs. It also enables you to create a personalised living space tailored to your lifestyle, rather than adapting an existing home.

The expo brings this to life, showcasing the latest in home design, technology, and customisation options, which might just inspire you to consider a new build for your next home.

“People who haven’t built before may not realise all that HomeWorld has to offer. They may think that our display villages are there to provide home designs for local land developments,” said Trudi Busch, Chief Marketing Officer of the HomeWorld Group of Companies.

"In reality, HomeWorld villages are places for anyone considering building a new home or doing a knockdown rebuild anywhere in Sydney, or further South to Illawarra or up North to Central Coast, Newcastle and Hunter regions.

"Whether you’re building in Box Hill, Sutherland Shire, Wahroonga, or Leppington, there are builders on site ready to help you plan and design your brand-new home," Ms Busch added.

Building new is also a smart and practical move, considering Australia's ongoing housing supply issue.

"The shortage of established properties on the market has prompted many buyers to explore the new homes market for more options," said Karen Dellow, Senior Data Analyst in PropTrack's 2024 New Homes Report.

Gain builder confidence and design inspiration

HomeWorld Expo is not only about home designs – it's where you can gain knowledge and confidence in potential home builders.

If you're in the market for a house and land package, for example, you'll have the chance to connect directly with seasoned developers.

Additionally, on-site builders will showcase current house and land packages they have available, giving potential homeowners a diverse array of options to explore.

For knockdown rebuilds or people already with land, you will be able to explore the latest in smart home technology, colour palettes, and building trends, gaining expert advice and inspiration for your building process.

“Current trends in new home building have been driven by changing household needs, such as kids staying at home longer and extended families making the most of their land, with integrated granny flats or duplex designs for two homes on one block,” explained Ms Busch.

“Visitors can step inside these amazing spaces and touch and see the latest design trends in real life. It is a great way for people to get ideas for their new home plans.

"Our Leppington village offers 90 display homes, each with unique kitchens and more than 200 bathroom designs to explore, providing ample ideas and inspiration,” she said.

Seasoned developers share in-depth insights on available plots and exciting upcoming projects.
