Suburbs where house values rose most in 2025


House prices jumped in a string of relatively affordable suburbs in 2025 as middle- and higher-income buyers priced out of unaffordable neighbourhoods looked further afield.

Some home buyers are moving to outer suburbs that they can afford, while others are buying investment properties there while renting a home where they want to live. National home values have risen 7.7 per cent through the first 11 months of the year, Cotality’s Best of the Best 2025 report, released on Thursday, showed. But performance varied.
