Sentiment High

Optimism about property values has hit its highest level in more than five years.

Australian Property Investor Magazine’s Q2 2025 Property Sentiment Report shows there is strong sentiment that property prices will continue to rise. It says only one previous quarterly survey has ever had more respondents tipping property price rises over the coming year.

Queensland is the state most regard as the best for property investment prospects, followed by New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia.

Investors are predicted to be the busiest cohort of buyers in the next 12 months.

“The cohort of our respondents who are looking to procure a property in the next 12 months as an investor climbed sharply this quarter, from 57% to 69%,” according to APIM Editor Craig Francis.

He says property market confidence is “sky high” as prices continue to rise across Australia.

“The proportion of respondents saying they plan to buy a property in the next 12 months has risen sharply, with houses becoming increasingly popular compared to units and other property types,” he says.
