Ten property markets where the numbers point to value

realestate.com.au covered InvestorKit’s assessment of ten value-oriented property markets on 9 September 2026. The analysis brought together purchase prices, rental conditions and supply indicators rather than relying on a single national growth figure.

The markets in the feature

The report names Melbourne, Geelong, Albury-Wodonga, Hobart, Launceston, Newcastle, Ballarat, Burnie, the NSW Central Coast and Bathurst. These locations were at different points in their cycles, with different reasons for inclusion.

Burnie’s median house price was reported below $600,000, alongside a 0.6 per cent rental vacancy rate. Bathurst’s median was below $700,000. Launceston combined reported annual house price growth of 13 per cent with 1.3 months of available housing stock.

Why one national headline is not enough

Melbourne offered a different picture: the feature reported more subdued annual growth and the possibility of less competition for buyers taking a longer view. Other markets were already experiencing stronger price and rental movements.

The figures describe the conditions examined for the September 2026 report. A place on the list is a starting point for further research, not a forecast for every property in that market or a substitute for checking affordability and individual assets.
