But before answering that instantly with a feel-good statement, the research team at Propwealth and Julius one of the leading Buyer Agents, had an in-depth discussion over leading suburbs in 2025.

After conducting practical research with top buyer agents experience and adding value by Julius’s decades of experience, we provided them a complete list of 10 suburbs leading the Australian property market in 2025.

While it was noteworthy that the client secured his first deal, it turned out to be an EPIC SUCCESS STORY.

And, e achieved capital growth of 20% + weekly $679 in much less time than you think.

This is a list of the suburbs that PropWealth’s committed buyer agents and real estate expert, Julius have researched extensively since April 2025.

Also, remember that these suburbs are leading the market in 2025, according to all the latest market trends. It takes a property cycle of seven to ten years to accomplish a location’s full growth potential, but we’re certain these spots will do it.

This is not the sort of list for individuals looking to earn quick cash or flip properties.

These suburbs provide a chance for investment that is expected to end up in significant value growth, making them excellent decisions in 2032, 2033, 2034, or 2035.

As we repeatedly tell our clients, property investment is not a “Black Magic Box Investment” that will turn you into a billionaire overnight. 

However, if you invest wisely you can build long-term wealth by capitalising on the potential of leverage over time.

Key Investment Tips

The experts utilised these key investment tips for 2025 when choosing these suburbs.

• Cost-effectiveness, features, and attractiveness are positioned within the top asset category for the location.
• The neighbouring areas are increasing in value, with strong rental demand and low vacancy rates.
• Locations seeing major infrastructural investment and robust population expansion, yet the supply is constrained.
• New properties improve tax breaks, such as depreciation, while providing tenants a premium offering.
• Grasp the chance now while the market tilts towards buyers; don’t wait for the RBA rate reduction. As interest rates are reduced, prices in these sectors will begin to climb again.
