Key takeaways:

• The Adelaide property market has remained stable throughout the past quarter with no significant growth or fall
• Chronic undersupply of houses for sale and rent in Adelaide with no shortage of renters and buyers, which is likely to keep prices up in Adelaide
• Buyers are still very active, properties are still selling well-above their auction price
• As interest rate increases pause and stop, more certainty is highly likely to improve buyer’s sentiment increasing market activity
• Lots of investment properties have been sold to first-home buyers, contributing to the rental shortage. Rental affordability has significantly decreased bringing about housing issues that are likely to continue being present for the foreseeable future
