Sydney and New South Wales
After a lacklustre 2024, Sydney has seen one of the most substantial rebounds this year, with interest rate cuts sparking a big return to growth.

Melbourne and Victoria
Perhaps the biggest redemption arc of 2025 so far has been in Melbourne and Victoria, bouncing back with conviction after some sluggish post-pandemic years.
In terms of the biggest movers over the past six months, there's a nearly even split between metro and regional suburbs.

Brisbane and Queensland
Given the spectacular, consistent growth seen across Queensland in recent years, you could say it's been business as usual for the Sunshine State in 2025.
In terms of the top movers, though, there's been surprisingly strong representation outside of Brisbane.
Top 10 growth suburbs in Brisbane and QLD - January to June 2025

Adelaide and South Australia
The dominance of the mid-sized capitals has carried over into 2025, with plenty of locations around Adelaide and SA experiencing oversized growth.
Of the suburbs making it to the top 10 ranking, the majority find themselves sitting in growing regional areas.

Perth and Western Australia
If any city or state has been the shining light of Australian property over the last few years, it's surely Perth and Western Australia.
A remarkable run of growth has seen the WA capital surge in value, while regional and rural areas around the state have also ballooned in price.

Hobart and Tasmania
Hobart experienced a once-in-a-generation boom in 2021 driven by historic levels of interstate migration, but it's been relatively slow going for the island capital ever since.
While 2025 still hasn't seen a strong return to growth in all areas of Tasmania, there's no shortage of suburbs getting a big boost in the past six months.

Darwin and Northern Territory
It's been a sudden and swift rise for Darwin in 2025, making the NT capital the fastest-growing city of the year so far.
It's no surprise, then, that some of the strongest suburb gains in the country are coming out of the tropical hub.

Canberra and Australian Capital Territory
After a slow start to the year, Canberra seems to be finding its footing in the last few months and price growth is returning.
For some ACT suburbs, though, there's been some very substantial positive momentum.
