A quarterly snapshot of what is actually moving in the Adelaide market right now, without the noise. The indicators worth watching if you are planning to buy in the next two quarters.
• Inner ring is heating up
Norwood, Unley, Goodwood, Prospect. Buyer depth is rising and DOM is dropping. Quality homes are moving fast.
• Outer ring is slowing
Munno Para, Andrews Farm, Aldinga, Seaford Rise. More stock, longer DOM, buyers have leverage.
• Stock tightening again
Weekly listings dipped. Tight stock means rising competition in good pockets.
• Vacancy still sub 1 percent
Rental pressure is pushing investors back into entry level suburbs.
• Approvals at decade lows
No new supply wave coming. Tight markets stay tight.
The takeaway
If you are buying in the next two quarters
Go where DOM is falling, stock is tight, and owner occupier demand is strong.
Avoid where DOM is stretching and listings are building.
Save this for your next search.
