City guide · 8 minAdelaideAdelaide, capital of South Australia and home to roughly 1.47 million people in the Greater Adelaide region, has shifted from 'affordable also-ran' to one of Australia's standout property markets - dwelling values rose ~12% over 2025 and around 79% over five years, yet it remains cheaper than Sydney and Melbourne. The city anchors the Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills wine regions, hosts a renowned festivals calendar (Adelaide Fringe, WOMADelaide), and is the national hub for defence and space, including AUKUS submarine construction at Osborne and the Australian Space Agency. Foreign-buyer context (whole of Australia): purchases require FIRB approval, and foreign buyers are generally restricted to NEW dwellings, off-the-plan apartments or development land - not established homes - with a temporary ban on foreign purchases of established dwellings running 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2029. In South Australia, foreign buyers also pay a 7% Foreign Ownership Surcharge on residential land on top of standard transfer duty.City guide · 8 minGold CoastThe Gold Coast is a coastal city in Queensland, Australia, about 70 km south of Brisbane, famed for 57 km of surf beaches and the entertainment hubs of Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach. Australia's sixth-largest city, it has shifted from a holiday destination to a permanent lifestyle-migration magnet, drawing interstate movers (chiefly from Sydney and Melbourne) for its climate, beaches and relative affordability. Investor appeal rests on sustained population growth, chronic housing undersupply, sub-1.5% rental vacancy and the Brisbane 2032 Olympics infrastructure pipeline; a current catalyst is Light Rail Stage 3 to Burleigh Heads, due to open mid-2026 (the airport-bound Stage 4 was cancelled in September 2025). Foreign-buyer rules are restrictive: all foreign buyers need Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval and are generally limited to NEW dwellings or off-the-plan, not established homes, and a temporary ban on foreign purchases of established dwellings runs 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2029. Queensland also levies an 8% Additional Foreign Acquirer Duty plus a 3% land-tax foreign surcharge.City guide · 8 minPerthPerth is the capital of Western Australia and one of the most isolated major cities on earth, anchoring a state powered by iron ore, gas, gold and lithium exports. That resources wealth, combined with a Mediterranean climate, world-class beaches (Cottesloe, Scarborough) and the Swan River foreshore, underpins a relaxed, high-amenity lifestyle. After years as Australia's most affordable capital, Perth has been the standout performer of the recent cycle, with REIWA reporting a record median house price of AUD 840,000 in December 2025 (up 12% over the year) and units up 18%. Foreign buyers face Australia-wide rules: FIRB approval is required before purchase, foreigners are generally restricted to NEW dwellings and off-the-plan stock, and a temporary ban on foreign purchases of established dwellings runs 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2029. In Western Australia a 7% foreign-buyer transfer-duty surcharge applies on residential acquisitions (though WA, unlike NSW/Victoria/Queensland, does not levy a foreign-owner land-tax surcharge).City guide · 8 minBrisbaneBrisbane is Australia's fastest-appreciating major property market and the host city for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Queensland capital's economy surpassed AUD 200 billion in 2024, driven by infrastructure investment, interstate migration, and a subtropical lifestyle that attracts residents from Sydney and Melbourne. With median house prices crossing AUD 1 million in 2025 — still significantly below Sydney — Brisbane offers compelling value and is undergoing a once-in-a-generation urban transformation.
