Welcome to your June 2025 market update, brought to you by @realty, your trusted partner in real estate. 

@realty Network Achieves Over $554 Million in Sales as National Home Prices Reach Record Highs in May

The property market continued its upward momentum in May, with national home prices rising by 0.39%, marking the fifth consecutive month of growth and setting a new record high for Australian property values. This growth aligns with @realty's own stellar performance, with the network recording an incredible $554,615,285 in property sales across Australia and New Zealand in May alone.

Since the Reserve Bank’s interest rate cut in February, price momentum has accelerated and become more synchronised across the country. All capital cities recorded home value increases in May, reflecting renewed buyer confidence and stronger market sentiment.

Outlook for 2025

With further rate cuts expected, borrowing capacity is likely to increase again, encouraging more buyers to act. A continued shortage of housing supply, population growth, and government incentives are expected to maintain upward pressure on prices throughout the remainder of the year.

While affordability remains a headwind, the fundamentals of the market remain strong. And with real estate groups like @realty delivering record-breaking results, both agents and sellers are well-positioned to capitalise on the ongoing strength in Australia's property market.
