Sep 2025 – Adelaide Property Market Update

Key Takeaways:

Spring has arrived, and with it comes a noticeable lift in market activity across Adelaide. The warmer weather traditionally brings more listings and buyer movement — and this year is no exception.

• Market Overview

  • More Stock, More Activity: Adelaide’s property market is buzzing this spring, with more homes hitting the market and renewed energy from both buyers and sellers.

  • Dwelling Values Up by 2.5%: According to the latest data, Adelaide’s dwelling values have increased by 2.5%, showing continued resilience and steady growth compared to other capital cities.

  • Investor Confidence Rising: Investors are returning to the market with growing confidence, drawn by solid rental demand, attractive yields, and a stable economic outlook.

• What’s Driving the Growth?

  1. First Home Buyer Guarantee Scheme Enhancements

  The First Home Buyer Guarantee Scheme has played a key role in supporting Adelaide’s housing demand.

  • The property price cap has been increased from $600,000 to $900,000, giving first home buyers greater access to suitable properties in more suburbs.

  • This change has opened the door for more South Australians to purchase their first home, boosting buyer competition and market momentum.

  2. Recent Interest Rate Drop

  The recent rate cut last month has also given the market an extra push. Lower borrowing costs are helping more buyers qualify for finance and increasing overall affordability. This has not only benefited first home buyers but also investors looking to expand their portfolios.

Tips for First Home Buyers and Property Investors:

First Home Buyers:

• Check your eligibility for government schemes – The expanded First Home Buyer Guarantee could save you from paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance and help you buy with as little as a 5% deposit.
• Stay ahead of new listings – Visit real estate agents’ websites and subscribe to their newsletters (such as Turner Real Estate) to be among the first to know when new properties hit the market.

Investors:

Don’t try to time the market — the best time to buy is when you’re ready. With low vacancy rates, rising rents, and strong yields, it’s a great time to grow your portfolio.

• Don’t try to time the market – The best time to invest is when you’re financially ready. Waiting for the “perfect” time often means missing out on strong, steady growth opportunities.

• Avoid procrastination – The market continues to move, and so should you. Take action while conditions remain favourable.

• Get professional advice – Speak with our property investment advisers to help you identify the right strategy, property type, and finance structure for your goals.
