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.
Annual Growth – A Mixed PictureWhile 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 ConvergingThe 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.
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.
