As we enter the new financial year, Australia’s property market continues its upward trend. In May, national home values rose by 0.5% to a median of $831,288, up from $825,340 in April.

This steady growth reflects rising buyer confidence, driven by lower interest rates, stronger auction results and increased political stability. With property prices expected to climb well into 2026, it could be an ideal time to take the next step, whether you're buying, investing or upgrading.

Closer to home, this trend is being felt in high-demand lifestyle regions like Sydney’s Northern Beaches, where local market activity remains strong. Domain’s latest Price Forecast Report suggests buyers could be paying tens of thousands more by this time next year. With values tipped to rise, many buyers are acting now to avoid future price jumps, which is welcome news for sellers considering a winter campaign.

The answer varies, but key drivers include location, condition, market timing and, crucially, the agent you choose. With expert local knowledge, your Raine & Horne Northern Beaches team can help you unlock your property's full potential.
