Adelaide Property Market Forecast

Looking ahead, Adelaide is expected to maintain moderate upward momentum through the rest of 2025. The Cotality forecast is buoyed by the same macro tailwinds as other cities: easing interest rates, a softening inflation outlook, and housing undersupply. While growth may be more tempered compared to higher-growth markets like Perth or Brisbane, Adelaide’s position remains strong.

Affordability, low listings, and relative economic stability support this outlook. Additionally, buyer demand remains underpinned by owner-occupiers and investors seeking reliable capital growth without extreme volatility.

The Reserve Bank of Australia’s ongoing adjustments to interest rates will likely play a crucial role in shaping market dynamics, as higher borrowing costs limit purchasing power for many buyers.
