Albury Market Update 2nd Half 2025

In Q2 2025, Albury* recorded a median house price of $600,000and a median vacant land price of $210,000.This represents an annual (Q2 2024– Q2 2025)median price growth of 4.3%for houses, accompanied by a -5.1% decline in house sales (to 244sales in Q2 2025). The vacant land market has become more affordable, however there were only 29 sales in Q2 2025. This confirms there is an undersupplied house market in Albury*, which has created a buffer against higher interest rates, thus more price growth. This suggests an ideal time for owners to capitalise on their investment. With very little new houses planned in 2025buyers must act fast, before there is further price growth. Meanwhile, the slight dip in land prices creates a window of opportunity for first-home buyers.

A key infrastructure project is Albury Wodonga Regional Hospital Early Works 1 - Northeast Building. An initiative from the New South Wales State Government, this will build a new 2 storey building that improves the health services for residents.

Residential projects include:

• 424& 426 Olive & Hume Streets Apartments (27Apartments)

• Hilltops By Birchmore Estate Subdivision Works (198 Lots)

• 513Wagga Road (4 Dwellings)

Despite a few residential and mixeduse projects in the pipeline, the supply of ready-to-sell stock remains limited and is not enough to answer demand. This suggests an undersupply remain, driving up prices for all property types.

AVERAGE VENDOR DISCOUNT*

Average vendor discount reflects the average percentage difference between the first list price and final sold price. A lower percentage difference (closer to 0.0%) suggests that buyers are willing to purchase close to the first asking price of a property.

Average house vendor discounts between Q2 2024and Q2 2025have tightened to -1.0%. Market conditions in Albury* still favourbuyers, as sellers are currently willing to accept below first listed prices. However, a tighter discount, and limited available and new planned stock signal a shift toward a seller’s market. Thus, buyers must act quickly.

The suburb of Albury has slightly outperformed the wider Albury LGA in house prices and remained onpar for vacantland over the past five years. This trend continued in 2025#, with the price difference between the suburb and the LGA narrowing even further.

Most of the houses sold in Albury* in 2024/2025#were in the premium priced point of $750,000and above (24.4%). Vacant land also saw the same pattern, with 43.2%of its sales in the premium price point of $275,000and above. This is encouraging for owners looking to capitalise on their investments. Affordable options are available, with 16.9%of houses sold under $449,999and 11.2%of vacant land sold under $199,999 Sales were evenly spread across various price points, reflecting a balanced market Overall, there is a home for buyers regardless of budget.

RENTAL GROWTH 2025€

House rental yields in Albury¥ were 4.0% as of June 2025, higher than Sydney Metro (2.7%). This is paired with a 2.2% growth in median house rental price in the past 12months to Q2 2025, at $560per week; and a -12.0% decline (to 198 rentals in Q2 2025)in the number of houses rented. The unit market showed the same pattern of higher rent and less units rented. These indicators confirm an undersupplied rental market in Albury¥, which is beneficial to investors.

2+ bedroom houses have provided investors with +10.3%rental growth annually, achieving a median rent of $430per week.

Albury¥ recorded a vacancy rate of 1.0%in June 2025,on par to Albury LGA’s 1.1% average but below Sydney Metro’s 1.6%. Vacancy rates have slightly decreased in the past 12months, which suggest an even tighter rental market. Further, a 1.0% vacancyrate is well below the Real Estate Institution of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, indicating quicker occupancy of rental properties. This suggests a sustainable investment environment. With a more affordable entry price compared to Sydney Metro, Albury¥ is an attractive investment alternative for investors.
