nws
The NSW property market in 2025 is expected to start slowly due to affordability pressures and interest rate uncertainty but strengthen in the second half as rates ease, boosting demand. Prices remain near record highs with 4–5% growth, while low vacancy rates and strong population growth continue to tighten the rental market. With a projected population increase of nearly one million in the next decade and declining new dwelling approvals, both property prices and rents are rising. As inflation stabilises and interest rates fall, market activity should increase, keeping well-located properties competitive.
vic

Victoria’s property market is at a turning point in 2025, influenced by economic challenges, government policies, and strong population growth. For investors seeking the best suburbs to invest in Melbourne under $600K, opportunities remain despite rising prices. A 12-month stamp duty reduction and recent activity centres aim to boost housing supply, but construction remains constrained, with completions at a decade-low and costs up 40% since COVID-19. This supply-demand imbalance, coupled with a population surge of 183,000 in 2024, is driving property prices and rents higher. Rising investor activity and infrastructure projects like the Metro Tunnel and Suburban Rail Loop are set to improve connectivity and support long-term market growth.

qld

Queensland’s property market remained strong in 2024, with dwelling values rising 10.5% year-on-year and prices up 68.1% since 2020. High migration, particularly in Southeast Queensland, and strong investor activity (38.2% of housing finance commitments) continue to drive demand. Tight rental markets and low vacancy rates are pushing rental yields higher. With a 2.3% population increase in 2024, ongoing infrastructure projects, and the 2032 Olympics ahead, growth is expected to continue in 2025.

Western Australia’s property market saw significant growth in 2024, with house prices rising 18.7% and unit prices up 22.7%. Affordability and strong rental returns make it attractive for investors, with median weekly rents reaching $650. A supply shortage, intensified by high interstate migration and investor demand (36.6% of loans for new dwellings), is further driving competition. Selecting stable, high-growth suburbs will be crucial as the market remains dynamic.

South Australia’s property market experienced steady growth in 2024, particularly in Adelaide and regional areas. Population growth, reaching 1.88 million by mid-2024, and major infrastructure projects in renewable energy and defence are supporting economic stability. The market is well-positioned for continued growth, offering strong opportunities for buyers and investors throughout 2025.
