The standout growth suburbs of 2022 so far

While a number of regional NSW markets have continued to steam ahead, one of the big stories to unfold in 2022 has been the halting of price growth in Sydney. 

As it turns out, though, not every suburb has seen things wind back. 

In Metropolitan Sydney, Glenhaven in the Hills district surged another +36 per cent.  Bonnyrigg Heights and Melonba were a couple of standouts in Western Sydney, and Haberfield in the Inner West also saw rises of more than +30 per cent. 

Many of the state's top performers do happen to be regional locations. 

Picton house prices have soared by more than +65 per cent in the first quarter of this year. Glenning Valley, Mollymook Beach, Blackbutt and Lawson have also recorded massive levels of growth.

Looking at the state as a whole, Victoria seems to have returned somewhat unremarkable results so far in 2022. 

When you zoom in a different story unfolds, with dozens of suburbs registering median house price increases of over $100,000 in just the first three months of the year. 

Regional areas have delivered the most dramatic results, with Yarrawonga in the state's northeast clocking a +54 per cent rise in values. Other locales from all over Victoria like Numurkah, Coronet Bay and Geelong's Portarlington also turned in major jumps. 

Within Greater Melbourne, the Bayside suburb of Chelsea was one of the top performers, with South Melbourne, Mont Albert North and Aintree also experiencing gains around the +20 per cent mark.

As the top-performing state over the past six months, it's no surprise that there have been close to 80 Queensland suburbs where house prices have risen by more than $100,000 in the first quarter of 2022. 

Whether it's regional or metropolitan areas, the state's South East has been the major hotspot for growth. 

In Brisbane, house prices in the riverside ​​Hamilton soared above +62 per cent in the three month period. Enoggera, Seven Hills and Kenmore also hit massive new highs. 

Buddina and Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast exemplified the region's huge demand while Ormeau Hills and Burleigh Heads delivered stellar growth for the Gold Coast. 

Even rural Woodford was one of the state's biggest movers with gains of more than +42 per cent.

South Australia has followed closely in Queensland's footsteps recently, bringing consistent and substantial house price growth over the first three months of the year. 

While locations outside of the capital posted strong figures, it was Adelaide that shone the brightest. 

Clarence Gardens in Adelaide's south hit nearly +50 per cent growth for the quarter, with nearby Torrens Park following not far behind. 

Eastern suburbs Glenunga and Fullarton were big movers, as were St Clair and Morphettville in the west. 

Port Willunga on the city's rural fringe turned in gains of almost +44 per cent, while Stirling in the Adelaide Hills delivered one of the strongest regional performances for the period.

After growth more or less came to a halt in Western Australia mid-way through last year, the state has started to experience some movement in the upward direction once more. 

Some of the southern suburbs of Perth have performed exceptionally well this year. In Forrestdale, the median house price shot up +53 per cent over the first quarter of this year, with Lathlain and Bull Creek also delivering huge results. 

Subiaco in the city's west also registered gains of more than +25 per cent, and Edgewater and Jindalee in the north both comfortably broke the +20 per cent barrier. 

Looking regionally, Lower King and Mira Mar in the state's south were standout suburbs for growth, as was Two Rocks up north.

2021 was an incredible year for price growth in Tasmania, and the gains haven't stopped so far this year. 

Five suburbs across the state saw median house prices rise by more than $100,000 in the first quarter of 2022 alone. 

Bellerive in Hobart and Huonville further south were the standout growth spots for Tasmania. 

Elsewhere around the island, St Helens, Wynyard and Norwood all broke through +20 per cent growth over the quarter.

After a bit of a stumbling block in February, the ACT has continued down a path of solid growth to finish up the first quarter of the year. 

Florey in Belconnen had the biggest gains for 2022 so far, with the median house price soaring by more than +30 per cent. 

Conder and Richardson in Tuggeranong also saw major increases for the three month period, and Amaroo and Casey in Gungahlin comfortably breached the $100,000 growth mark.
