Adelaide Hills Property Market Update – May 2026

The Highlights: 

• Interest rates are trending up 
• New listings up 14% year-on-year, available stock up around 3% 
• It’s still a solid season for sellers 

The Details: 

If we had to summarise the market right now, it’s this: Inflation remains sticky and interest rates are trending up. 

We’re sitting at over 14% new listings being advertised year-on-year in the Adelaide Hills market. The more interesting data point here is that available stock is up about 3%, meaning that while there’s new stock coming in, buyers are still flocking and making fast purchasing decisions. 

For sellers, it’s still a great time to put your house on the market. 

This is reinforced and reflected in Adelaide’s performance, too. The Adelaide market is up 12% year-on-year and still showing healthy growth. Adelaide is one of only three capital cities that can boast that claim, as other areas are starting to stagnate. 

If you’re planning a big move this winter, whether selling or buying, please reach out.
