Australian Property Market Snapshot – June 2025

By Ryker Capital

Australia’s property market is showing steady momentum, with CoreLogic’s June 2025 Home Value Index (HVI) reporting a 0.5% rise in national dwelling values for May. That brings total growth for the year to 1.7%, despite a softer patch earlier on.

Monthly Dwelling Value Changes Across the Capitals

Every capital city recorded a lift in values last month, with Brisbane and Darwin leading the way.

Annual Growth – A Mixed Picture

While most cities are still in positive territory year-on-year, Melbourne (-1.2%) and Canberra (-0.7%) have slipped into the red.

Capital City Growth Converging

The gap between the strongest and weakest performing capitals has narrowed to just 9.8 percentage points – the tightest range since March 2021. This suggests a more balanced national market, with opportunities across the board.

Affordable vs Premium Property Segments

While more affordable homes are still leading growth in most cities, Sydney and Canberra are seeing a shift – with premium properties now outpacing the lower end.

What It Means for Property Investors

With interest rates easing and confidence returning, now’s a good time to consider:

• Entering or expanding your investment portfolio.
• Diversifying across cities with converging growth.
• Exploring premium segments as they begin to rebound.
