Australia’s housing market just recorded its third straight month of growth, with national dwelling values rising 0.3% in April to a new all-time high (Cotality, Apr 2025). That’s an average gain of $2,720 in just 30 days—and it's happening across every single capital city.

This isn’t hype. It’s happening right now—and buyers who wait may be left behind.

The Market Is Rising—Quietly but Surely

All capital cities saw price gains in April, with Darwin up +1.1%, and Sydney/Melbourne still edging up +0.2%.
Regional markets are outperforming, especially regional South Australia (+1.5%) and regional WA (+1.3%).
Houses are outpacing units, especially in Sydney (+1.4% for houses vs. -0.3% for units) — a clear sign of where demand is heading.

Rate Cuts + Election = Perfect Entry Point

The February rate cut already turned the market positive again. And with another cash rate cut forecast as early as May 20th, borrowing power is about to increase. Pair that with the May 3rd federal election providing clarity and stability, and the stage is set for a buyer surge.

Worried About Prices Dropping? Here’s the Truth

Even if values dropped 10%, 88.5% of sellers would still record a profit (CoreLogic resale data, Dec 2024).
Less than 1% of mortgage holders are in negative equity (RBA, Financial Stability Review).
WA's past downturn (2014–2019, -16.1%) still saw mortgage arrears stay below 2%—the market is built to withstand moderate dips.

Buy now, while price gains are still modest, interest rates are low, and competition hasn’t returned in full force. Whether it’s your first home or next investment, the data is clear: waiting will likely cost you more.
