There’s still plenty of growth in the Australian property market, with new data showing that 3,224 markets chalked up double-digit price growth in 2025.

Almost 100 markets achieved growth higher than 30% according to the analysis of PropTrack data.

It was the very affordable markets which recorded the highest levels of growth with many of those top suburbs in regional or remote markets, coming off a very low base, including Western Australia’s Rangeway, which had the biggest increase of 43%, with its median house price up by $120,545 to $402,000.

The rising demand in Darwin continues to drive price growth there with the suburb of Gray achieving the second-highest growth of 40%, bringing its median to $564,000.

The data also shows that medians are continuing to rise in the past quarter, with the highest increases in lifestyle markets.

During the quarter, the Sunshine Beach house market in Queensland chalked up a $527,621 increase in its median, while in Western Australia, the Abbey house market in Busselton was up by $425,240.
