As Q2 2025 comes to a close, InfoTrack’s latest Property Market Update highlights a dynamic and evolving landscape across Australia’s eastern states. In New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria, shifting buyer preferences, changing suburb demand, and evolving property types are reshaping the market. For real estate agents, these insights offer a valuable opportunity to sharpen local expertise, anticipate client priorities, and focus efforts where demand is rising.
From first home buyer hotspots in Western Sydney, the resurgence of inner-city living in Queensland, and the continued growth in Victoria’s outer suburbs, here’s what’s driving market momentum this quarter.
Across the eastern seaboard, houses remain the most in-demand property type, but subtle shifts in buyer behaviour are pointing to changing priorities.
Among first-home buyers, strata properties remain the preferred choice, with purchases rising from 51.66% in Q1 to 53.24% in Q2. This trend reinforces the importance of affordability and accessibility, as many buyers are entering the market through apartments and townhouses rather than standalone homes.
Vacant land also saw its highest share in a year at 12.72%, suggesting increasing buyer interest in land-and-build packages, likely supported by infrastructure development in growth areas. For context, vacant land recorded 11.41% in Q1 2025, 12.25% in Q4 2024, and 12.35% in Q3 2024, making Q2’s figure the strongest yet.
In contrast, strata properties declined to 26.32%, indicating a possible cooling in apartment demand, particularly outside major urban hubs.
Notably, only three postcodes in the Q2 top 10 for first home buyers (2560, 2250, and 2112) fall outside Greater Western Sydney, further highlighting the region’s significance.
Narangba, Kirwan, and Yarrabilba are new entrants to the list in Q2 2025, with Kirwan the only suburb featured outside the South East Queensland region.
InfoTrack’s Q2 data offers a clear picture of where buyer interest is rising and where opportunities lie for agents.
While affordability, location, and lifestyle remain the core drivers of decision-making, Q2 2025 reveals a market full of nuance and opportunity. For agents, staying ahead of these trends isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. Whether you’re targeting first-home buyers, upsizers, or investors, this data gives you a clear advantage in understanding where the market is heading, suburb by suburb.
