January 2026 Real Estate Market Report

National Report for January 2026, Real Estate Market Update:

@realty has started 2026 on a high, transacting $422,558,319 in property sales in January, marking another strong month for the national network.

The result comes as national home values increased by 0.2% in January, lifting prices 8.4% higher year-on-year and pushing median home values to a record above $880,000.

Price growth across the capitals was mixed. Sydney recorded a modest 0.1% increase, while Melbourne posted its third month of small declines, now sitting just 0.8% below its recent peak. In contrast, Adelaide continued to outperform, with prices jumping 0.9% for the month and 13.8% annually, alongside ongoing growth in Brisbane (+0.4%) and Perth (+0.3%).

While the possibility of an interest rate rise may weigh on market sentiment in early 2026, low unemployment and limited housing supply are expected to continue supporting demand and prices nationwide.
