May 2025
There is currently a potential opportunity on the horizon that is worth looking into. Melbourne might be the next place to show prices growth in Australia.
Over the last four years, property investors across Australia have enjoyed major capital growth:
-
Brisbane: Median house prices surged by 55% between 2020 and 2024 (CoreLogic).
-
Adelaide: Prices climbed over 57% in the same period (CoreLogic Hedonic Home Value Index).
-
Perth: Property values have increased by 46%, recovering from years of stagnation (CoreLogic).
-
Sydney: Despite fluctuations, Sydney has posted growth of about 30% since 2020 (Domain House Price Report).
Meanwhile, Melbourne’s market was relatively flat — with just a 13% rise over four years (CoreLogic).
Why This Creates Opportunity:
-
Undervalued Market: Melbourne is now one of the most affordable capitals relative to income, and significantly cheaper than Sydney (REIV).
-
Population Growth: Melbourne is projected to become Australia’s largest city by 2031, with migration figures rebounding strongly post-COVID (Australian Bureau of Statistics).
-
Rental Demand Soaring: Vacancy rates have fallen to under 1% across many inner and middle-ring suburbs (Domain Rental Report), pushing rental yields higher.
-
Massive Infrastructure Investment: Projects like the Suburban Rail Loop ($34.5 billion), Metro Tunnel, and North East Link are driving new demand corridors (Victorian Government, Infrastructure Pipeline).
What History Tells Us:
Markets that remain stagnant while others boom often experience catch-up growth — and early investors are the ones who benefit most.
Melbourne’s fundamentals are stronger than ever, but its prices haven’t caught up yet.
This won’t last much longer.
