Market Update

As we enter the new financial year, Australia’s property market is showing no signs of slowing. In May, national home values rose by 0.5% to a median of $831,288—up from $825,340 in April.

This growth reflects rising buyer confidence, fuelled by lower interest rates, stronger auction results, and renewed political stability. With property prices forecast to surge into 2026, now could be the time to act if you’re considering buying.

In more good news, Domain’s latest Price Forecast Report suggests buyers could pay tens of thousands more this time next year. With prices tipped to climb, many buyers are acting now to avoid paying more later, which is great news for vendors considering a winter sale.

In line with this research and the question: How much profit can I expect from the sale of a property? The short answer is: potentially a lot. But every sale is different, and the outcome typically depends on key factors such as location, property condition, market timing, and the skill of your agent. Fortunately, you’re in excellent hands with the team from R&H Avalon | Palm Beach. 

If you are considering selling your property and feel the timing is right, please feel free to contact me or our property management team and we will be more than happy to walk you through the sales/rental process e.g. the importance of styling and presenting your property to its absolute best.
