New Trends: How Global Luxury Buyers Are Shaping Australia's Property Market

Source: Domain

Luxury property buyers are reshaping the global real estate landscape in 2024 — and Australia is emerging as one of the biggest winners. According to recent data from Juwai IQI, Australia climbed to become the second most popular destination for inquiries on homes priced above $7.78 million. Meanwhile, traditional favorites like the United States have seen a significant decline, with Thailand now leading globally.

What’s Driving the Change?

Today's luxury buyers are motivated less by pure investment, and more by a desire for lifestyle, security, and education.

Key factors influencing their search patterns include:

• Access to world-class international schools

• A stable political and economic environment

• A focus on quality of life, including better weather, cultural diversity, and family-friendly amenities

Notably, 94% of inquiries are from buyers intending to use the home for themselves or their families, with only 6.5% seeking properties purely for investment purposes.

Where Are Buyers Focusing?

Interest is strongest in major Australian cities such as Sydney and Melbourne. Within these cities, buyers are particularly attracted to:

• Prestigious suburbs close to leading private and international schools

• Areas offering community networks, business opportunities, and multicultural environments

Suburbs like Boroondara in Melbourne are especially popular due to the high concentration of top-ranked schools. Real estate agents report that buyers with permanent residency are now the dominant group in the luxury segment, facing fewer restrictions and greater flexibility.

A New Chapter for Australia's Property Market

Today’s luxury property buyers are no longer driven solely by return on investment. Instead, their searches reflect a deeper desire for stability, education, lifestyle, and community. With its blend of world-class amenities, multiculturalism, and favorable conditions, Australia is perfectly positioned to meet these evolving global expectations.
