As the following article by Forbes points out, property prices in Australia are gradually easing - https://www.forbes.com.au/news/investing/what-to-consider-when-investing-in-property-in-2025/.
Although rental yields remain relatively high, they have begun to stabilise since late last year.
With the above in mind, it could be time for renters to start looking at purchasing their own property. Lets take 4 suburbs across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Adelaide where median prices are roughly aligned with each city's overall median price - East Hills (NSW), Oak Park (VIC), Keperra (QLD), and Mitchell Park (SA).
If we run the suburb capital growth report and rental yields report for each of these 4 suburbs over the last 5-year period, you will see extensive price growth for all suburbs except for Oak Park (VIC), while rental yields have increased or maintained relatively steady over the period.
Be sure to keep a close eye on median price trends and rental yields for places you want to buy and reside, and ensure you do the sums to work out the best time to enter the market - the optimal time could well be now.
