A closer look
What the FY25/26 review found
16.3%
The 13 cities we scored high or very high pressure in July 2024 grew 16.3% on average over the next year. The 12 low-pressure cities grew 2.1%.
4 weak
16 of 25 housing fundamentals rated strong or somewhat strong. Only 4 were weak, down from 8 the year before.
25 of 33
25 of the 33 cities rated high or very high for rental pressure, while for-sale supply was 28% below pre-COVID levels.
Once-affordable hotspots have gradually lost their affordability advantage, inflation has returned to the target range, and the RBA has commenced a downward shift in the cash rate. The structural landscape has shifted — and with it, the cities best positioned to outperform.
