The Adelaide property market continues to show resilience as we move into 2026, but conditions have shifted compared to 2025.
While price growth has moderated and buyer behaviour has become more considered, demand remains steady and supply levels continue to influence outcomes across many Adelaide suburbs.
LISTING LEVELS REMAIN BELOW LONG-TERM AVERAGES
Total listings across Adelaide remain below long-term averages, a trend that continues to shape market conditions. Lower advertised supply has been a key factor supporting prices in recent years, particularly in well-located suburbs.
This is supported by CoreLogic’s Advertised Supply data, which tracks the volume of properties listed for sale relative to historical norms.
With fewer properties available for sale, well-presented homes that are priced appropriately are generally facing less direct competition.
CONTINUED INTEREST FROM INTERSTATE BUYERS
Alongside local demand, Adelaide continues to attract interest from interstate buyers.
Ashley Williams from Selling SA Homes notes that the agency is continuing to see a steady flow of enquiries from interstate buyers, particularly from those seeking relative value, lifestyle appeal and longer-term stability compared to larger capital cities.
“We’re continuing to see a steady flow of enquiries from interstate buyers,” says Ashley Williams. “Many are drawn to Adelaide for its relative affordability and lifestyle, and they’re coming into the market well-researched and ready to act when the right property comes up.”
ADELAIDE HOME VALUES: GROWTH HAS MODERATED, NOT REVERSED
Adelaide dwelling values continued to rise through 2025, although the pace of growth has eased from earlier peak periods.
According to CoreLogic’s Home Value Index, Adelaide recorded continued annual price growth through late 2025, with values moderating rather than reversing. This reflects a market supported by supply constraints and consistent buyer demand.
DAYS ON MARKET HAVE INCREASED SLIGHTLY
Time on market has increased compared to 2025, reflecting more deliberate buyer behaviour.
CoreLogic’s Days on Market data indicates that average selling time across Adelaide now sits broadly in the mid-30 to low-40 day range, depending on suburb and property type. Buyers are taking more time to compare options, and homes that are overpriced are more likely to sit.
AUCTION RESULTS REMAIN SOLID WHERE USED
While Adelaide is not a high-auction-volume market, clearance rates where auctions are used have remained relatively healthy.
CoreLogic Auction Results reporting through 2025 shows clearance rates generally sitting around the low-70% range, indicating that competitive outcomes continue to occur when pricing, presentation and buyer demand align.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR SELLERS IN ADELAIDE
For homeowners considering selling in 2026, current conditions continue to reward informed decision-making and strong preparation.
Key takeaways include:
• Supply remains constrained, supporting price stability
• Buyer demand is present but more selective
• Pricing accuracy is critical
• Presentation and marketing quality influence outcomes
THE ADELAIDE MARKET OUTLOOK
Based on trends identified across CoreLogic market reporting, Adelaide is expected to continue tracking through a period of steady, modest growth rather than sharp fluctuations. Suburbs with limited stock, strong lifestyle appeal and established infrastructure are likely to remain resilient.
