It is with great pride and genuine excitement that we welcome you to this edition of Luxury Homes.

While curating and shaping this magazine, we’re reminded once again of the extraordinary privilege it is to showcase some of the most exquisite properties across our markets.

Each home featured within these pages represents far more than remarkable architecture or refined design; it reflects a level of craftsmanship, exclusivity, and beauty that defines the very essence of luxury living.

Our team has taken great care in selecting properties that inspire, captivate, and elevate the expectations of what a home can be.

At Ray White, we’re immensely proud of our position as the most prolific group in the industry when it comes to selling luxury homes.

This distinction is not achieved by chance. It is the result of unwavering dedication, market expertise, and a commitment to delivering an exceptional experience to the clients who entrust us with their most valuable assets.

Thank you for joining us on this journey through some of the finest homes available today. We hope these pages ignite your imagination and deepen your appreciation for the unique properties that define the Ray White luxury offering.

LUXURY RETURNS TO SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE ATOM GO TIAN, RAY WHITE GROUP SENIOR DATA ANALYST

If you were speaking about luxury houses five years ago, you wouldn’t even consider markets outside of Sydney and Melbourne.

Instead, when the pandemic accelerated trends of lifestyle migration and people started to look elsewhere for housing, luxury buyers proved themselves to be the most flexible, flocking away to where luxury was still sold at a ‘discount’. As a result, luxury growth has largely overlooked Sydney and Melbourne.

Luxury prices in the two major cities spiked briefly in 2021 as the initial COVID boom lifted all markets, only for both to lose half their gains the following year as interest rates surged and lifestyle migration gained popularity. From early 2023 onwards, the cities have struggled to return to this COVID peak, with the last 12 months proving to be their most productive.

Sydney grew six per cent between 2024 and 2025 after growing just two per cent between 2023 and 2024 to finally reach a new peak luxury price of $4.5 million. Melbourne, on the other hand, is yet to reach its peak. Luxury house prices in the Victorian capital grew five per cent between 2024 and 2025 after declining one per cent between 2023 and 2024 to end 2025 at $2.6 million.

In total, Sydney grew 35 per cent in the last five years while Melbourne grew just 17 per cent, which was modest compared to Brisbane (+77 per cent), Perth (+76 per cent), Adelaide (+73 per cent), the Gold Coast (+72 per cent), and the Sunshine Coast (+68 per cent). This underperformance allowed the Sunshine Coast ($2.76M) and the Gold Coast ($2.86M) to overtake Melbourne ($2.62M) as the second and third most expensive luxury markets. Meanwhile, Brisbane ($2.32M) and Perth ($2.30M) are now just 12 per cent cheaper than Melbourne, compared to 43 per cent cheaper in 2020.

Luxury buyers who fled Sydney and Melbourne may return to markets offering better relative value than seen in years.

It’s easy to assume the new normal is a decentralised luxury market, but if the last 12 months signal what's to come, luxury buyers may just be beginning to rediscover the value of Sydney’s prestige waterfront streets and Melbourne’s leafy inner suburbs.

The price “discounts” that drove buyers away from Sydney and into cheaper luxury enclaves of South East Queensland are not as significant anymore. In 2020, Sydney was twice as expensive as the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, and now it’s just 1.5 times more expensive. Against Brisbane and Perth, the premium has narrowed from 2.5 times to 1.9 times. In other words: Sydney’s premium looks more justified than overpriced.

The case in Melbourne is more complex as broader economic challenges in the wake of its extended lockdowns damaged its appeal to the exact buyers who could afford to look elsewhere.

Yet paradoxically, it's because of Melbourne's weakness that it might be the better luxury bet for 2026. At only 17 per cent growth over five years, it significantly underperformed relative to its fundamentals as Australia's second-largest city.

If the rate-cut cycle delivers and confidence returns, the luxury buyers who fled Sydney and Melbourne may find themselves returning to markets that now offer better relative value than they've seen in years.

AUSTRALIA’S MOST EXPENSIVE STREETS ATOM GO TIAN, RAY WHITE SENIOR DATA ANALYST

With a median house price of $39.35 million, Kambala Road in Bellevue Hill ranks as Australia's most expensive street in 2025. Last year’s leader, Wolseley Road recorded only three sales this year and was therefore excluded from the rankings, though its $51.5 million median would have otherwise retained the top position. Victoria Road in Bellevue Hill ($22.75 million) and Vaucluse Road in Vaucluse ($20.6 million) complete the top three.

Australia's most expensive streets remain overwhelmingly concentrated in Sydney and Bellevue Hill in particular, which claims six of the top 10 streets. The suburb's enduring appeal lies in its rare combination of proximity to both the CBD and multiple beaches, harbour views, and large estate-sized blocks on tree-lined streets.

Vaucluse extends this harbourside premium with even more direct beach access and panoramic water views.

9

Even the exceptions to this pattern reinforce the importance of proximity to prestige amenities and green space. Clendon Road in Toorak ($17.75 million) sits at the heart of Melbourne's most affluent suburb, while Lang Road ($18 million) in Centennial Park has Sydney's iconic parklands as its backyard.

The magnitude of the difference between the top streets across major cities is striking: Sydney's most expensive streets are more than five times more expensive than the leading streets in Perth and Brisbane, and more than 10 times the premium streets in Canberra and Adelaide. This disparity reflects Sydney's unique position as both Australia's financial capital and its most internationally connected city, combined with geographic constraints that limit harbourside land supply.

Despite these gaps, each capital city has developed its own luxury property hierarchy.

Melbourne's luxury market remains centred around Toorak, led by Clendon Road, St Georges Road ($15.25 million) and Linlithgow Road ($14.9 million).

Brisbane's luxury real estate shows a more diverse pattern, led by Laidlaw Parade in East Brisbane at $6.5 million, with premium streets spread across Wendell Street in Norman Park ($6.44 million) and Macquarie Street in Teneriffe ($6.15 million). Perth's luxury market concentrates in the Peppermint Grove–Dalkeith corridor, with Forrest Street in Peppermint Grove commanding $7.5 million.

Australia’s most expensive streets remain overwhelmingly concentrated in Sydney.

The remaining capital cities operate at notably lower price points. Canberra's premium market gravitates towards Forrest, with Arthur Circle reaching $3.8 million. Adelaide's luxury market centres on Walkerville, with Church Terrace topping at $4.177 million. Hobart's Sandy Bay area, particularly Red Chapel Avenue at $1.765 million, represents Tasmania's premium market.

Darwin's highest-valued streets, led by East Point in Fannie Bay at $1.67 million, illustrate the significant value gap between northern Australia and its southern counterparts.

The Centennial Collection is an offering of premium residences set beside Centennial Park.

The residences enjoy impressive harbour and parkland views, providing a rare outlook across some of Sydney’s most celebrated landscapes.

Spacious, light-filled interiors feature marblewrapped kitchens, stone bathrooms and generously designed bedrooms. Amenities include a rooftop summer pool, an all-season mineral lap pool with adjoining wellness facilities such as a steam room, infrared sauna, gymnasium and dedicated concierge services.
