Adelaide real estate continues to standout in comparison to major capital cities / Market in a Minute Ep. 12

The summer is about to end, but the Adelaide real estate market remains hot, with property prices rising to 7.4% compared to a 3.4% increase nationally.  
 
Major cities have seen a drop in their quarterly growth scale, but Adelaide continues to stand strong with a record high rise of 2.2% in property prices. 
 
South Australian market sees a consistent rise in investor participation. With Reserve Bank holding interest rate at 0.1% and discounting levels hitting the ground, investors’ interest in our market continues to strengthen. 
 
With highly engaged buyers, properties are selling faster, and Auctions remain popular as ever. Adelaide recorded the second-strongest preliminary clearance rate in the country. Last month, we had more than 40 auctions and we saw success in ALL of them. One to highlight was our recent sale of an 8-bedroom home in Unley Park which reached a whopping $3.5m under the hammer. All considered, our team’s clearance rate for the month stands at 100%.    

 
The Luxury homes segment continues to compete with affordable housing across Adelaide. Suburbs like Unley, Salisbury and Adelaide city saw the biggest annual increase in new listings, further showcasing our market’s strength. 
 
Looking at our Property Management team, Adelaide’s rental market yields trended to 3.8%. As border restrictions ease and international students return to attend universities, we expect to see EVEN more rise in rental demand in the coming months.  
 
Now for our Projects team, newly built coastal developments continue to attract investors, and we see great progress in much awaited CBD projects, townhouse developments, and many more in the pipeline.
