Melbourne Economic Update – July 2025
Overview
Melbourne, meanwhile, is quietly staging a recovery.
“Values rose 0.4% in July, extending steady gains since April and lifting prices 2.2% year-to-date,” our Chief Economist highlights. “This consistency points to more than 4% growth in 2025 – a sharp turnaround from last year’s weaker performance.”
Importantly, conditions are becoming more favourable for buyers. “Falling inflation has strengthened the likelihood of an RBA rate cut in August, with borrowing costs already easing. Combined with Melbourne’s relative affordability and clearance rates holding steady at 68–72%, this is shaping up as one of the best buying windows among the capitals,” he concludes.
