As we move further into the second half of 2025, Adelaide continues to outperform other capital cities, recording the strongest home price growth both monthly and annually. This growth is being driven by strong buyer interest, low housing stock, and sustained consumer confidence, even as national growth slows slightly.

According to the latest PropTrack data for July, Adelaide’s home prices rose by 0.9% over the month, bringing the city’s annual growth to 9.4%—the highest among all Australian capitals. This cements Adelaide’s position as the most resilient and consistently rising market in the country.

Nationally, Australia’s median home price hit a new record high of $827,000 in July, rising 0.3% over the month and 4.9% over the past year. However, this marks the smallest monthly increase in 2025, with experts pointing to the Reserve Bank’s surprise decision to hold interest rates steady in July as a contributing factor.

Adelaide’s strength stands out even more against the backdrop of modest gains in cities like Sydney (0.1%), Melbourne (0.2%), and Darwin (0.1%). Regional South Australia also remains a standout performer, with a monthly rise of 0.6% and year-on-year growth of 12.5%, the strongest of any region across the country.

While prices continue to climb, opportunities still exist for buyers seeking more affordable options. Suburbs such as Hackham West (median $625,000), Mount Barker ($730,000), and Woodville Gardens ($550,000) offer more accessible entry points well below the city’s median house price of $835,000.

Looking ahead, market indicators remain positive. Buyer demand is high, auction clearance rates are at their strongest in over two years, and reports increased search activity—often a precursor to further buying activity. Additionally, with inflation easing and the potential for interest rate cuts on the horizon, borrowing conditions may soon improve, adding further momentum to the market.

That said, affordability continues to present challenges, particularly for first-home buyers. Still, for those looking to buy, sell, or invest in South Australia, Adelaide’s steady performance and long-term growth trajectory present strong opportunities heading into spring.
