Spring 2025 Property Market: What to Expect This Selling Season
Spring has arrived and with it comes Australia's busiest property selling season. After three rate cuts this year, the 2025 spring market is shaping up to be particularly active.
Market Conditions Heading Into Spring
Property prices have shown resilience throughout 2025, with most capital cities recording gains despite earlier rate pressures. The combination of rate cuts and strong population growth continues to support demand.
City-by-City Outlook
Sydney
Sydney's market remains strong, with the median house price now above $1.7 million. Expect increased listings this spring as vendors capitalize on buyer demand fueled by improved borrowing capacity.
Melbourne
Melbourne has been the more affordable of the two largest cities, attracting first home buyers. Inner-ring suburbs are seeing renewed interest as rate cuts improve serviceability.
Brisbane
Brisbane continues its strong run, with interstate migration driving demand. The median is approaching the $1 million mark, with outer suburbs and the bayside particularly popular.
