Adelaide Hills Property Market Update – December 2025
The Highlights:
- Housing now accounts for 51% of median income
- Domain.com.au is predicting a ‘soft landing’ for the Adelaide Hills
- 4% expected price growth for 2026
The Details:
2025 has been a massive year for market growth, here in the Hills. But here’s one stat that might surprise you (and will affect the Adelaide Hills property market).
The housing affordability ceiling.
In 2019, 27% of the median income went towards a typical mortgage. In 2025, that number’s now sitting at over 51%. It’s why Domain.com.au has predicted that in 2026, our Adelaide Hills market is going to have a ‘soft landing’, looking at price growth of about 4%.
It’s still a great market, but one that requires the right strategy to get the best result with an upcoming sale.
