For the third consecutive month, we’ve seen a national increase in home values, pushing Australian property prices to a new record high. Although just a modest 0.3% rise, it’s a positive result, especially in a period distracted by multiple public holidays and the federal election. Now that these events are behind us, all eyes are on the Reserve Bank of Australia. With the next meeting scheduled for 20 May 2025, there’s growing speculation around a potential rate cut – news that could significantly boost buyer confidence and borrowing power.

Cotality’s latest Monthly Housing report has also been released, revealing that the country’s outer suburban areas are leading the way in capital growth. Driven by greater affordability, lifestyle appeal, and improving infrastructure, these suburbs are increasingly attractive to first-home buyers and investors. Post-pandemic lifestyle shifts have fuelled demand for larger homes and greener spaces, while upgraded transport and local amenities are adding to the appeal. Regional markets are also proving resilient, signalling a broader shift in buyer preferences and positioning outer suburbs as key growth areas to watch.

Across the state, home prices have jumped by as much as 22% according to the latest PropTrack figures. We’ve witnessed Brisbane quietly step out from the shadows of Sydney and Melbourne to establish itself as a serious contender in Australia’s property market.

While the southern capitals often dominate the headlines, the Queensland capital has been delivering impressive growth - and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.
