Adelaide Property Market Forecast

  • Despite slowing momentum, low housing supply and strong demand should support continued price stability.
  • A potential interest rate cut in 2025 could provide renewed demand, further strengthening the market.
  • Rental yields remain high at 5.4%, making Adelaide an attractive option for investors.

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.
