The Wrap Up
In September 2025, Australia’s property sales market saw growth in digital inspections. Interstate inspections rose to 20.6%, while international interest increased to 5.5%, up from 19.7% and 5.3% in August.
While overall activity remains measured, cross-border buyers continue to seek opportunities in lifestyle and metropolitan markets, reflecting ongoing demand for regions offering employment, amenity, and lifestyle appeal.
Cities such as Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Perth remain key destinations for interstate buyers, while Sydney continues to attract the largest share of international interest.
These shifts suggest a market that is stabilising after a period of heightened relocation activity, with buyers carefully considering where to invest their time and capital.
