Welcome to our Spring report for 2025
With Spring now upon us, we can finally say goodbye to those wintery nights and chilly mornings. This Spring brings a healthy dose of optimism after EOFY, with a strong economy supported by low inflation and low unemployment, plus recent interest rate cuts and the promise of more to come, potentially by the end of the year.
Economists at all four major banks have lifted their outlooks and now predict 5%–6% price growth in 2025. Growth may even reach as high as 9% with the government bringing forward the Home Guarantee Scheme to 1 October, removing income limits and caps on places and increasing property price caps. Demand from first-home buyers should strengthen through Spring, with almost double the number of affordable homes becoming available.
Locally, the Brisbane market continues to perform well, and Acacia Ridge is seeing strong momentum. The median house price has risen 12.6% over the past 12 months to $830,000, while the unit and townhouse market has surged 24.4% year-on-year to $600,000.
We are also very proud to continue giving back 10% of all sales back to the local community and other charities, totalling over $100,000 over the last 2 years, including our annual Community Halloween Event which is getting bigger and better every year!
Spring is typically the busiest time of year as people look to secure a home before Christmas and set themselves up for new beginnings in 2026. If you ’ re considering selling or renting or simply want an up-to-date appraisal or market advice for Acacia Ridge please don’t hesitate to get in touch any time.
Outstanding From Start to Finish
Working with Jon and Sandy has been an absolute pleasure. Jon has worked tirelessly to not only make sure our home sold for the right amount, but, to ensure we were comfortable and clear on each step along the way. Jon is highly knowledgable of not only the Coopers Plains market, but also the real estate industry and its various techniques for both sale and purchase. He is detail oriented and always strives for perfect. We whole heartedly believe that we would not have had the success we found in selling our home if we hand't worked with Smith & Li. Seller
Smith & Li were a pleasure to work with
Smith & Li were a pleasure to work with. Jon was really helpful, providing advise early on when renovating, displaying the home to maximise return and walked me through the process of the sale/auction. We were able to get a great result. Jon showed a lot of patience, talking me through the nerves mid campaign and always willing to answer every question I had. I was always kept up to date on the the progress of the campaign with great communication. His honesty and sincerity was also appreciated.
