Australia’s property market continues to break records, with more suburbs than ever joining the million-dollar club, according to recent data. Perth has seen the sharpest increase, with 35 suburbs crossing the $1 million median house price for the first time, closely followed by Brisbane with 32, Adelaide with 26, and Sydney with 25. In Adelaide, key suburbs such as Seaview Downs, Plympton, Darlington, Hawthorndene, Semaphore Park, and Seacliff Park are now part of this exclusive group. The city has experienced a 14.5% price rise over the past year, with the number of million-dollar suburbs jumping 44% to a record 104. Brisbane also continues to see remarkable growth, with Chermside, Shailer Park, Thornside, Brighton, Geebung, Underwood, Karalee, and Logan Village surpassing the million-dollar milestone. Currently, 46% of Brisbane’s suburbs have a median house value of over $1 million—a significant increase from two years ago. Meanwhile, in Sydney, Bonnyrigg, Mount Pritchard, Claymore, Liverpool, Marayong, and Fairfield Heights have recently joined the ranks of million-dollar suburbs. Sydney remains the leader in high-value properties, with nearly 80% of its suburbs boasting median house prices above $1 million. Even as interest rates rise and affordability remains a challenge, these figures highlight the resilience of the Australian property market. As more suburbs across major cities reach record-high property values, the landscape continues to evolve, creating new opportunities for both investors and homeowners. With housing markets across the nation reaching unprecedented levels, understanding these shifts is crucial for anyone looking to buy, invest, or strategize in the property market. #PropertyMarket #AustralianHousing #RealEstate #Investment #PropertyTrends #MillionDollarSuburbs

📍 Concord NSW 2137 - Market Analysis Concord has been a very steady picture of growth, both for the limited amount of apartments and family homes over the last decade, though rental yields have remained fairly low in recent times. 📈 What's most interesting about Concord is that as the population centre of Sydney shifts further west, Concord continues to become more and more desirable. There is a considerable amount of older housing in the area, though as the population ages, many families are opting to sell, making way for new homes, or developers to build duplexes. Given the zoning of nearby Rhodes, or Olympic Park (both of which are extremely densely populated in comparison), you can understand why people are opting to hold on to homes built on massive blocks of land. 📲 Concord can be a tricky area to navigate when buying property.

Evening #ArcaniteCommunity. Before we close off another crazy day of project selling, let's take a look at a few suburbs are still defying the odds, showing enormous growth despite the housing crisis. This year, Australia’s top 5 property hotspots have bucked the trend, each notching up a 40%+ rise in house prices. But it's not just Sydney and Melbourne that are heating up—some surprising places are leading the pack! Queensland’s Paradise Point has leaped by nearly 49%, transforming from an “under-the-radar” spot to one of the Gold Coast’s trendiest and priciest markets. What used to be affordable is now hot property, with younger buyers and investors flocking in, especially around upscale Sovereign Island. In Perth’s Armadale and Camillo, median prices shot up by over 40% but remain relatively affordable, hovering around $500k. Local agents credit the boom to strong interstate demand, driven by investors hunting for bargain-priced properties in comparison to other capitals. But even in these areas, prices are creeping toward $600k for a standard family home. Meanwhile, Brisbane’s bayside suburb of Manly has surged, with a 42% rise that brings the median to nearly $1.6 million. This high-demand pocket is attracting young families keen on the enhanced lifestyle offerings in recent years. Further out, Rangeway in WA offers serious value for investors. The suburb saw an impressive 41.7% growth, with a median price still under $300k. Rents here have also skyrocketed by 92% over the past five years, making it an investor’s dream. We hope this bit of insight helps you make some strategic decisions tomorrow. #TopGrowthSuburbs #AussiePropertyMarket #InvestmentHotspots #housingcrisis #RealEstateAustralia #AffordableInvestments #ArcaniteInsights

Exploring Affordable and Livable Suburbs for Home Buyers The landscape of affordable housing within Australia's major cities has changed dramatically over the past five years. According to the latest PRD Affordable and Liveable Property Guide, the proportion of affordable suburbs for house buyers has plummeted, prompting budget-conscious buyers to consider units or locations further from city centers. In Sydney, only 11.1% of houses within 20 kilometers of the CBD are now affordable, a sharp decline from 32.5% five years ago. Melbourne has seen a similar drop, from 61% to 24.4%. Brisbane and Hobart have also experienced declines, with affordable options decreasing from 51.7% to 27.6% and 43.8% to 18.9%, respectively. The report identifies suburbs that still offer potential for rejuvenation, focusing on neighborhoods with high rental yields, low vacancy rates, significant infrastructure projects, and favorable unemployment rates. In Sydney, Chester Hill, Granville, and Villawood stand out. Melbourne’s top picks include Albanvale, Ardeer, and Lalor. Brisbane highlights Strathpine, Griffin, and Alexandra Hills, while Hobart’s best options are Glenorchy, Risdon Vale, and Rokeby. These areas, typically one to two suburbs away from better-known neighborhoods, offer a promising blend of affordability and livability for savvy home buyers. #RealEstate #AffordableHousing #PropertyInvestment #HomeBuying #UrbanDevelopment

Sydney's Millennials are finding refuge in Adelaide's inner circle suburbs, where the cost of a comfortable family home remains under $1m, starkly contrasting the $2m+ price tags in Sydney's inner metropolitan circles. It's not uncommon to spot 5 to 10 NSW number plates at house auctions, reflecting the influx of buyers from New South Wales. A recent observation in Norwood, an inner city suburb of Adelaide, revealed that nearly 30% of the car park at the new Coles Supermarket was occupied by vehicles with Victorian and NSW plates. This migration trend highlights the appeal of Adelaide's affordability and lifestyle amenities. The shortage of affordable housing in Sydney demands innovative solutions. The metropolitan inner circle of Sydney lacks enough "inclusive mid-rise apartments" near railway stations, with an annual shortfall of around 25,000 quality residential-grade mid-rise apartments annually for the next 5-7 years. Embracing advanced modular construction using Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) from renewable sources is crucial to meeting this demand sustainably and urgently. This requires scalability, which currently slows inefficient custom construction methods. Because of this lack of scalability, the affordable housing crisis cannot be solved. As "fast to market", CLT offers thriveconstruct.com.au. Up to 75% faster than slow, inefficient custom construction methods. Adelaide's housing market is attracting attention for its affordability and infrastructure, presenting a compelling alternative for those seeking a balance between cost and quality of living. Sydneysiders are exploring new horizons, driven by the need for accessible and affordable sustainable housing solutions. #Sydneycrisis #affordablehousing #millennials #CLT

What’s driving Darwin and Melbourne as property hotspots for 2025? Darwin is showing a strong resurgence, with suburbs like Zuccoli, Gunn, and Bellamack gaining traction due to growing sales activity and increasing population. Affordable housing options paired with high rental yields are making the city highly appealing to property investors. Meanwhile, Melbourne is making a comeback. The City of Casey, in particular, is seeing steady long-term growth, drawing interest from first-home buyers. Despite the challenges of recent years, demand is picking up across metropolitan areas, reinforcing Melbourne’s potential as a key market to watch. Hotspotting’s latest report highlights the importance of focusing on future opportunities, especially in areas primed for growth rather than those already at their peak.

New data from CoreLogic reveals a concerning trend in Australian real estate: Over 1,000 suburbs now boast median values of around $1m each. https://lnkd.in/d58kjCtG Families will need an annual income exceeding $250,000 to buy into these areas, leaving over 2 million Australians unable to own a home in these neighbourhoods without substantial inherited wealth or their families providing substantial equity support. The affordability crisis is exacerbated in Metropolitan Sydney, where around 500 suburbs have median prices of $1m, and several hundred suburbs with a median price of around $1.5m will require an income close to $300,000 to purchase. This reality has led to a rapid decline in home ownership aspirations, prompting a mass exodus of Millennials from Sydney. Reliance on Australia's slow, inefficient custom construction methods, combined with a vast shortage of tradies, will never solve the chronic shortage of affordable housing across the country. The worst shortfall in affordable housing in Australia's history is the lack of a scalable plan to solve the chronic shortage of affordable and social dwellings. In Sydney alone last year, over 20,000 tradies made a mass exodus because they needed an affordable dwelling, further compounding the availability of new residential properties. Across Australia today, the shortfall of affordable and social dwellings is over 1 million, with no scalable plan. Over the next 18 months, that shortage will balloon to over 1.5 million affordable and social dwellings. #RealEstate #HomeOwnership #CoreLogicData #Australia #Sydney #housingcrisis #advancedmodular #sustainability #CLT #ThriveAlliance #Harropfactor #fasttomarket
