The Australian Property Market in 2025

Opportunities for Savvy Investors

 

As we approach 2025, the Australian property market is brimming with opportunities for investors looking to make informed decisions. With key forecasts from SQM Research's Housing Boom and Bust Report 2025, it’s clear that regional trends, interest rates, and population growth will shape the market’s trajectory. Whether you’re a first-time investor or a seasoned property buyer, understanding these dynamics is crucial for maximising returns.

 

 

2025: A Mixed Bag for Australian Property Investors

 

The property market in 2025 is expected to deliver mixed results across Australia. While Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide are forecasted to see significant growth, Sydney and Melbourne are predicted to face moderate declines. According to SQM Research, national dwelling prices are expected to rise between 1% and 4%, with Perth leading the charge, potentially seeing growth of 14% to 19%.

 

Key factors driving these trends include:

 

  • Interest Rate Cuts: Expected mid-2025, these cuts could range from 0.25% to 0.50%, potentially stimulating buyer demand and cushioning price declines in Sydney and Melbourne.

 

  • Population Growth: An anticipated increase of over 500,000 residents in 2025 will fuel housing demand, particularly in high-growth areas like Queensland.

 

  • Housing Shortages: Limited housing supply, especially in Brisbane and Perth, will push up prices in these cities.
