As we enter the final quarter of 2025, Adelaide’s property market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience, maintaining its position as one of Australia’s strongest-performing capital cities. From our perspective as conveyancers working on the ground with buyers and sellers every day, we’re seeing sustained transaction activity and strong confidence in the local market, driven by ongoing demand, limited supply, and cautiously optimistic economic conditions.

According to the latest PropTrack data for September, Adelaide’s home prices rose by 0.8% over the month, bringing the city’s annual growth to 8.9%—continuing to outpace most other Australian capitals. This consistent performance reinforces Adelaide’s reputation as a stable and reliable market for property investment and homeownership.

Nationally, Australia’s median home price reached $835,000 in September, rising 0.4% over the month and 5.2% year-on-year. While growth remains positive, the pace continues to moderate as affordability pressures and elevated interest rates temper buyer enthusiasm in some markets. However, Adelaide stands apart, with strong local demand and ongoing confidence in South Australia’s economic outlook driving sustained activity.

Adelaide’s performance is particularly impressive when compared to other capitals, with Sydney recording modest growth of 0.3%, Melbourne at 0.4%, and Brisbane at 0.5% for the month. Regional South Australia also continues to shine, posting a monthly increase of 0.7% and annual growth of 11.8%—among the strongest regional performance nationwide. From our conveyancing desk, we’re processing settlements right across the state, from metro to regional areas, reflecting this widespread market strength.

For buyers seeking more accessible price points, suburbs such as Munno Para (median $622,000), Salisbury Downs ($585,000), and Christie Downs ($545,000) offer attractive opportunities below the city’s median house price of $848,000, providing genuine pathways into the market.

Looking ahead into the final months of 2025, several factors are shaping market expectations. Recent indications from the Reserve Bank suggest potential interest rate adjustments may be on the horizon, which could improve borrowing conditions and further stimulate activity. Auction clearance rates remain strong, and buyer enquiry levels are holding steady—both positive indicators for continued market momentum through spring and summer.

That said, affordability remains a key consideration for many buyers, particularly first-home purchasers navigating record-high prices. Despite these challenges, Adelaide’s combination of lifestyle appeal, economic stability, and consistent growth continues to attract both owner-occupiers and investors seeking long-term value. As conveyancers, we’re committed to making the settlement process as smooth and stress-free as possible, regardless of market conditions.

For those considering a property transaction in Adelaide or regional South Australia, the current market offers both challenges and opportunities. With the right conveyancing support and local expertise, navigating this dynamic environment can lead to successful outcomes.
