Australia’s property market is on track to hit $12 trillion in total value by year-end, with national housing values rising 2.2% in the September quarter alone, according to the latest Cotality data.
📈 Property Market Back in Motion
Over the past 12 months, the combined value of Australian residential real estate has grown by $678 billion. It’s now reached $11.8 trillion. Annual price growth has also strengthened for the fourth straight month — now sitting at 4.8%, up from 3.7% in 2024.
Darwin is leading the charge.
Since the first interest-rate cut in February, suburbs like Wanguri and Durack (NT) have surged 20.1%, showing that affordability plus tight supply equals rapid growth.
Outside Darwin, Perth (+4.0%), Brisbane (+3.5%), and Adelaide (+2.5%) continue to deliver strong quarterly gains. This is reinforcing what Teach Me About Property has been saying for months: the affordability-driven boom is here.
📉 Slower Growth and Tight Supply
Sydney and Melbourne have shown small dips in some inner-city, high-density markets — with Milsons Point (–7.1%) and Kirribilli (–6.3%) among the few declines recorded.
That’s no surprise to TMAP mentors, who continue to guide students toward growth corridors, regional hubs, and mid-tier suburbs where the fundamentals — not prestige postcodes — are driving results.
Nationwide stock levels remain 19% below the five-year average, even after a small 2.7% spring lift.
Tight supply, improving confidence, and cheaper borrowing costs are all combining to push values higher heading into summer.
Homes are also selling faster in many regions — for example, Darwin’s average days-on-market fell from 51 to 39 days compared with last year.
💬 What It Means for Buyers and Investors
The message is clear: the market is moving again. Momentum has returned.
At the current pace, Australia’s total property value could reach $12 trillion before the end of 2025. It’s driven by affordability, supply shortages, and growing investor confidence.
For TMAP students, this is confirmation that the 2024–2026 boom phase is well underway.
“Affordable doesn’t mean slow. It means opportunity,” says Massey Archibald. “Families who act now, with strategy and structure, will ride this next wave of growth straight to the top of the mountain.”
