Adelaide Residential Market / Your Insights for October 2023

Short, sharp, stats & updates on what’s happening in Adelaide’s residential sales market for October 2023.

According to the latest CoreLogic report, the National Home Value Index experienced a 0.8% boost in September, marking the eighth consecutive month of the ongoing recovery trend.

Turning our focus to Adelaide, September saw a slowdown in selling activity. New listings in Greater Adelaide decreased by 5.5% during the month, following a strong surge in August, yet sale listings remain 2.1% higher than the same period last year. Amid this, the overall number of listings held steady, barely declining by 0.1%.

Such strong conditions are occurring, while advertised supply levels are 39% below the five-year average for this time of the year, and estimated purchasing activity is 10% above the five-year average.

Such low supply in the face of above-average demand is a key factor supporting value growth. Adelaide’s market has been at record highs since June after recovering from a mild 1.7% drop in values through its fleeting downturn. With advertised stock levels showing no signs of a rise, we can expect Adelaide home values to continue rising.

In the realm of monetary policy, interest rates are now widely anticipated to have reached their peak, maintaining stability since July.
