Will Home Prices Keep Rising Over the Next Year?
Australian Property Market: What’s Next?
After years of strong growth, many homeowners and buyers are asking the big question: Will property prices keep rising over the next 12 months? The answer isn’t simple—but recent data and expert forecasts give us some clues.
What’s Driving Current Price Trends?
Several factors continue to influence the Australian housing market:
- Interest Rates: While the Reserve Bank has paused hikes recently, borrowing costs remain higher than during the pandemic boom.
- Supply and Demand: Housing supply is still tight, especially in major cities, while population growth fuels demand.
- Economic Conditions: Employment remains strong, supporting buyer confidence despite cost-of-living pressures.
Will Prices Keep Rising?
According to leading property analysts, moderate growth is expected in most markets. Here’s what experts predict:
- Capital Cities: Sydney and Melbourne may see slower growth, while Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide could outperform.
- Regional Areas: Demand remains steady, but growth may ease compared to previous years.
- National Outlook: Price increases of 3–5% are forecast for 2025, driven by supply shortages and strong migration.
Example:
A $700,000 home could gain $21,000–$35,000 in value over the next year if these forecasts hold true.
What Does This Mean for Buyers and Owners?
- First Home Buyers: Waiting may mean paying more later—consider entering the market sooner if possible.
- Homeowners: Rising equity could open opportunities for refinancing or investing.
- Investors: Growth markets like Perth and Brisbane may offer strong returns.
