Valuers are expecting house price growth over the next 12 months
CBRE’s Q2 2025 Residential Valuer survey shows a sharp rise in confidence, with 74% of valuers expecting house price growth over the next 12 months from June 2025 – up from 55% last quarter. Sydney Metro stands out as a key area where optimism is strongest.
This shift is likely closely linked to the recent interest rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of Australia, which have boosted borrowing power and reactivated buyer demand. Sydney is tipped as a standout for capital gains, with steady demand from first home buyers, upgraders and returning investors.
With construction costs still high, buyers are leaning towards new or recently renovated homes – driving house price growth in turnkey segments. In contrast, demand for unrenovated properties continues to soften, as renovation delays and expenses remain a key barrier.
