As we approach the end of 2024, Adelaide’s property market continues to exhibit remarkable resilience and growth, solidifying its position as a standout performer in Australia’s real estate landscape.
Market Performance
In November, Adelaide’s median home price rose by 0.4%, reaching a record $795,000. This marks a substantial 14.64% increase over the past year, allowing Adelaide to surpass Melbourne’s median home price, which declined to $792,000 during the same period.
Regionally, South Australia experienced a 1.06% increase in home prices over the past month, achieving a median of $454,000—the highest growth among rural markets.
Factors Driving Growth
Several key elements contribute to Adelaide’s robust property market:
- Affordability: Compared to other capital cities, Adelaide offers more accessible property prices, attracting both local and interstate buyers.
- High Demand and Limited Supply: The market is characterised by strong buyer interest and a scarcity of available properties, leading to competitive conditions.
- Interstate Interest: There has been a significant uptick in interest from international buyers, notably a 23% increase in searches from India, positioning Adelaide as a desirable destination for overseas investors.
Rental Market Insights
Adelaide’s rental market remains tight, with low vacancy rates favouring property investors. The limited availability of rental properties continues to drive demand, making it an opportune time for investors to consider entering the market.
Looking Ahead
Projections indicate that Adelaide’s property prices will continue to rise, with expectations of a 5-8% increase in the upcoming financial year. This sustained growth is attributed to ongoing demand, limited supply, and favourable economic conditions.
