House prices have gone up by $100,000 or more in in the past six months in hundreds of Aussie suburbs, and it’s not just in the priciest areas where homeowners are banking big gains.
Rapid home price growth in Australia’s smaller capital cities has lifted the typical value of a home by at least $100,000 in dozens of relatively affordable suburbs.
Data from PropTrack shows median house prices are at least $100,000 higher in 202 suburbs, a list that was dominated by 65 suburbs of Sydney, the nation’s priciest capital.
These top growth suburbs include some of Australia’s most expensive neighbourhoods, given even modest growth rates in these high value areas can result in huge gains of up to half a million dollars in half a year.
But higher rates of price growth seen in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane mean plenty of more affordable suburbs have experienced six-figure price jumps in the past six months.

There were 41 suburbs of Perth, 24 suburbs of Brisbane and 23 suburbs of Adelaide where median house prices went up by a hundred grand or more.
Only eight Melbourne suburbs and five Canberra suburbs had six-figure price rises, and these were among the most expensive suburbs in these cities.

REA Group senior economist Anne Flaherty said prices in many more affordable suburbs had grown rapidly recently, but it was higher value suburbs that tended to have the biggest dollar gains.
“In a low-median suburb you might see a higher percentage growth,” she said.
“But because the median price is much lower, in dollar terms that growth is not going to be as strong as it would be in a high median suburb, which might see lower growth, but on a much higher value,” she said.

While values in more affordable suburbs have grown faster in recent years as more buyers opt for areas where mortgage repayments are lower, Ms Flaherty said recent interest rate cuts would have a bigger influence on price growth in high-value areas.
“When you’ve got really large mortgages, any movement in interest rates actually has a bigger impact,” she said.
“The average loan size in New South Wales is higher than any other state, which means that when an interest rate cut happens, it has a relatively bigger impact in that market than it would do where people have smaller mortgages.”
Where house prices grew most in the past six months
There were 14 suburbs where house prices increased by $300,000 or more in the past six months, most of which were in Sydney.
Sylvania Waters in Sydney’s south came in first place with its median house price up $597,000, or 19%, compared to six months ago, although values in the riverfront suburb can fluctuate significantly depending on the number of sales of waterfront and premium homes.

Pricey suburbs in Sydney’s northern beaches, lower north shore and eastern suburbs also recorded big price lifts, including Greenwich (up $532,000), Cammeray and Balgowlah Heights (both up $450,000), and South Coogee and Bronte (both up $400,000).
Top 10 suburbs for house price growth in the past six months
| Suburb | State | Median sale price | 6-month $ change | 6-month % change | |
| 1 | Sylvania Waters | NSW | $3,135,000 | $597,000 | 19% |
| 2 | Greenwich | NSW | $4,512,500 | $532,500 | 12% |
| 3 | Cammeray | NSW | $3,475,000 | $450,000 | 13% |
| 4 | Surfers Paradise | QLD | $4,000,000 | $450,000 | 11% |
| 5 | Balgowlah Heights | NSW | $4,450,000 | $450,000 | 10% |

Real estate agent and Belle Property Lane Cove principal James Bennett said there were fewer entry-level homes selling in Greenwich, and comparatively more high-end sales, which had an influence on median prices.
“The entry level has really quietened down in Greenwich,” he said. “It’s a hidden gem and people don’t want to leave.”
He said limited supply of quality family homes coming on the market in Sydney’s lower north shore could support strong price growth in the months ahead.
In more affordable parts of Sydney, sub-$1.5 million suburbs such as Bankstown, Mount Pritchard and Minchinbury all recorded $100,000-plus price growth in six months.
The Queensland suburbs where median house prices went up most were Surfers Paradise (up $450,000) and Ascot (up $310,000).
The price of a typical house in Ascot in inner Brisbane is more than $300,000 higher than six months ago. Picture: realestate.com.au/sold
However, most of Brisbane’s top growth suburbs for the past six months were found in the city’s inner north and west, such as Ashgrove, Red Hill and Toowong.
Most of these suburbs had median prices ranging from $1 million to $1.5 million, with higher-value suburbs closer to the $2 million mark tending to record slower growth.
“Brisbane has seen among the strongest price growth in recent years,” Ms Flaherty said.
“The median price is up over 80% in the past five years, which is probably pushing more buyers into more affordable suburbs.”
“There’s been a really big increase in investor activity, so we might have investors competing for homes in the suburbs which are tipped for more growth.”
Meanwhile, some of the most valuable Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast suburbs recorded strong gains, including Clear Island Waters and Sunrise Beach.
In Perth, it was inner city, riverfront and coastal suburbs where prices grew the most, including Dalkeith (up $305,000), City Beach (up $300,000) and West Leederville (up $295,000).

In Melville in Perth’s south, real estate agent Michael Jennings of Haiven Property South said family homes that sold for about $1.3 million mere months ago were now selling for $1.5 to $1.6 million.
“The squeeze is on at the bottom end,” he said, referring to strong price growth recorded recently for more affordable homes.
“The growth is largely local families transitioning – it’s not investors or out of area buyers, it’s predominantly local driven.”
“Perth is still so undersupplied. I think the second half of the year will be just as strong.”
What to expect in the next six months
Ms Flaherty said it was likely that house prices would keep growing for the rest of 2025.
“There are very strong expectations that prices are going to rise throughout this year,” she said. “There’s a lot of factors that are going to support buyer demand.”
“We’re seeing demand from property investors has increased. We have expanded policies for first-home buyers coming in early next year.”

“Most economists are forecasting that we could see another two or more rate cuts this year.”
Expectations that prices will rise further could prompt some would-be vendors to delay selling plans, and combined with the seasonal slowdown in listings in winter, this could cause stock levels to tighten, Ms Flaherty said.
“From a seller’s perspective, selling in a market like that is positive,” she said.
