📊 Cotality HVI August 2025 Update
Australia’s property market continues its upward trajectory, with the latest Cotality Home Value Index (HVI) showing steady growth across capital cities and regional markets alike. Buyer confidence is returning, and momentum is building—especially in Queensland, Adelaide, Perth and NSW.
The market is showing no signs of slowing, with strong competition and low stock continuing to drive prices higher. For homeowners and investors, this is a sign to act before affordability tightens further.
