May 2025 Property Update

Welcome to the May property update

The Reserve Bank of Australia has cut the official interest rate by 0.25 percent.

This shift is expected to give the market a boost, with more rate cuts likely to follow later this year.

Over the past three months, from February to April, Australian property values have been steadily rising.

In April alone, values rose by 0.3 percent, marking three straight months of growth.

Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth are leading the charge, hitting new record highs.

Regional markets are also outperforming the capitals, with strong gains in places like Regional South Australia and Western Australia.

Rental yields are also on the rise, now at their highest level in nearly a year, which is great news for investors.

But here’s the key point—stock is tight.

Listings and auction numbers are at their lowest for this time of year since 2019.

That means fewer opportunities and more competition for the properties that are available.

Let me give you an example of what’s possible when you take action.

We recently helped a first-time investor buy their first property for $485,000.

Nine months later, it was revalued at $620,000.

That equity allowed them to fund the deposit for a second investment property.

This is the power of making a smart move in the right market, at the right time.

If you’re thinking about buying or investing, now is the time to get your strategy in place.
