Your suburb’s 2025 property report card is in

You might’ve seen recent headlines that national property prices made another big jump this year. But do you know exactly how your suburb and property type performed? Well, today we’ll show you how to find out in just a few quick clicks.

Over the past year, home prices have risen 8.7% nationally, according to PropTrack

If you think that’s impressive, over the past five years, property values have jumped more than 50% nationally.

The question is, what’s the current market value in your neck of the woods? 

Here’s how to find out.

Does your neighbourhood top the table for price growth?

To discover what the average home is worth in your neighbourhood, and how much values have increased in the past year, head to Domain’s online property price calculator.

With any luck, you’ll be pleasantly surprised (note: you can toggle between ‘house’ and ‘unit’).

You could be among the home owners around Australia who have seen their place outstrip the national uptick (remember that’s 8.7% in the past year).

Domain data shows there have been some stand-out suburbs. 

Houses in Adelaide’s Blair Athol notched up 17% gains in 2025 to reach a median value of $802,500. 

Houses in Cabramatta, in Sydney’s south-west, jumped 18% to hit a median of $1.152 million. 

Brisbane’s Acacia Ridge (median value $830,000) recorded price growth of 13% in 2025.

Not far behind was the Perth suburb of Baldavis (median value of $720,000), where house price growth topped 11% this year. 

And in Melbourne, houses in beachside Frankston North racked up 10% price gains to reach a median value of $650,000.

Why have home prices climbed?

Australia’s housing market staged a surprise turnaround in 2025, thumbing its nose at affordability challenges and cost-of-living pressures, to achieve above-decade-average price growth.

Three rate cuts in 2025, an expanded 5% Deposit Scheme and low volumes of homes listed for sale helped drive values higher.

Put your home equity to work

A rise in your home’s value offers more than bragging rights over Christmas lunch. 

It could make you eligible for a lower-rate home loan, offer a source of funds to achieve personal goals in 2026, or be the key that lets you upgrade to your next home. 

Call us to find out how you could make the most of a rise in your home’s value.
