The majority of investors are confident about the performance of the property market in the coming months, a new investment report shows.

The Momentum Wealth Property Sentiment Report 2025 shows that despite significant price increases in the past two years, Perth remains a favourite location for interstate investors.
Melbourne is the second-favourite capital city for investment in 2025, despite significant new taxes and fees on property investment in the city. Melbourne is enjoying a lift in interest as buyers believe it has potential for future growth. Buyer demand in Melbourne drove it to achieve an auction clearance rate of 77.5% last weekend – its highest result since May 2023.

Brisbane is the third most appealing capital city for investors, according to the report followed by Sydney. A third of respondents say they plan to buy an investment property in the next 12 months. Analysis by Finder shows why so many investors are keen to buy property, with the asset class in many locations out-performing even superannuation funds. It says the average 10-year performance across all super funds is 5.7% per year, which is below the ten-year compound property growth rate of many capital cities, including Hobart (6.9%), Adelaide (6.7%) and Brisbane (5.9%).
