Residential Property Market Report
2025 Q1
In February 2025, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) implemented a 0.25% rate cut, contributing to a national monthly growth rate of 0.4% for the Australian property market. Sydney and Melbourne reversed their negative growth trends from late 2024, with monthly growth rates of 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively. Mid-sized capital cities showed more moderate growth, while Hobart experienced a slight contraction of -0.4% in March. As the Easter holiday approaches, the market appears to have slowed, with the national auction clearance rate dropping to 60.8%, down from 64.7% last year. Listings are also 1.7% lower compared to the previous year, which is unusual for the period leading up to Easter. This slowdown is partly due to a 'wait-and-see' approach from both buyers and sellers ahead of the federal election and the onset of the easing interest rate cycle, prompting many sellers to delay listing their properties.
