In 2024, Sydney had the highest price per square meter of land across major cities in Australia. Lot buyers expected to pay a premium of ***** Australian dollars per square meter in the capital of New South Wales. Conversely, lot buyers in Adelaide expected to spend around *** Australian dollars per square meter of land. Prices through the roof Over the past decade, the surge in land and housing costs has been attributed to rapid population growth, driving up median prices for property and land, particularly in cities. In Sydney, the per square meter price of land has almost tripled since 2010, while the number of new property listings has declined over the years. A shortage of residential land available to build on has exacerbated the housing affordability crisis in Australia. Will lending rates continue to climb? The homeownership dream is out of reach for the average Australian without a housing loan. Nevertheless, Australia's high mortgage interest rates for both owner-occupiers and investors have impacted current and aspiring mortgage holders, with the value of household lending trending downwards over the past two years. While rates remained high in the first half of 2024, they likely reached their peak, as shown by the gradual plateau in the second half of the year. This stabilization should, in turn, accelerate buying, selling, and lending activities.

In 2024, one square meter of greenfield land cost an average of ***** Australian dollars in Melbourne, Australia. This remained around the same level compared to the green land cost per square meter in the previous year.

Variable building investment trends have exposed the Land Development and Subdivision industry to wide annual fluctuations in the price and volume of land sales. The volume of greenfield land sales for residential projects more than doubled from a low in 2018-19 to a peak in 2020-21, corresponding with the surge in single-unit dwelling commencements in response to the Federal Government's HomeBuilder stimulus and historically low interest rates. However, the reversal of this stimulus and hiked mortgage interest rates have stifled land development since 2021-22. Land developers and subdivision contractors focusing on high-density land for non-residential building projects have benefited from the upswing in investment in this market since a pandemic-induced dip in 2020-21. Robust growth in commercial and industrial land development for offices, transport terminals and warehousing projects has provided opportunities to commercial property developers like Frasers Property Australia and Salta Properties. Still, the recent slump in single-unit house investment has dampened the prospects for some prominent residential land and subdivision developers, like Satterley Property Group, Peet Limited, Avid Property Group and AVJennings. Intense conditions in the residential land market and supply chain blockages following the COVID-19 outbreak have dampened industry profitability. Through 2024-25, industry revenue is expected to plunge at 6.7% to $18.8 billion, despite the anticipated current-year recovery of 3.3%. Favourable trends in dwelling commencements and residential house prices will underpin the current recovery in residential land development. Still, much of this focuses on medium- to high-density apartment and townhouse construction projects requiring commercial-style foundations within confined land areas. The industry's performance will rebound in response to improving opportunities for high-density residential land development. Robust growth in apartment and townhouse construction will be driven by mounting population pressures, higher residential house prices, Federal Government stimulus under the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) and constructing build-to-rent (BTR) developments. Opportunities will gradually emerge for developing single-unit housing blocks and subdivisions, but growth will be sluggish in the non-residential building market, albeit near record levels. The median value of residential developments will gather momentum on the back of higher residential housing prices and the need for higher residential land volumes to meet the growth in dwelling commencements. Industry revenue is forecast to climb at 4.7% through 2029-30 to reach $23.8 billion.

The average price of Australian residential property has risen over the past ten years, and in June 2025, it reached over one million Australian dollars. Nonetheless, property experts in Australia have indicated that the country has been in a property bubble over the past decade, with some believing the market will collapse sometime in the near future. Property prices started declining in 2022; however, a gradual upward trend was witnessed throughout 2023, with minor fluctuations in 2024. Australian capital city price differences While the national average residential property price has exhibited growth, individual capital cities display diverse trends, highlighting the complexity of Australia’s property market. Sydney maintains its position as the most expensive residential property market across Australia's capital cities, with a median property value of approximately 1.19 million Australian dollars as of April 2025. Brisbane has emerged as an increasingly pricey capital city for residential property, surpassing both Canberra and Melbourne in median housing values. Notably, Perth experienced the most significant annual increase in its average residential property value, with a 10 percent increase from April 2024, despite being a comparably more affordable market. Hobart and Darwin remain the most affordable capital cities for residential properties in the country. Is the homeownership dream out of reach? The rise in property values coincides with the expansion of Australia's housing stock. In the June quarter of 2025, the number of residential dwellings reached around 11.37 million, representing an increase of about 53,600 dwellings from the previous quarter. However, this growth in housing supply does not necessarily translate to increased affordability or accessibility for many Australians. The country’s house prices remain largely disproportional to income, leaving the majority of low- and middle-income earners priced out of the market. Alongside this, elevated mortgage interest rates in recent years have made taking out a loan increasingly unappealing for many potential property owners, and the share of mortgage holders at risk of mortgage repayment stress has continued to climb.
