Highton Market Update 1 st H a l f 2 0 2 6
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
OVERVIEW
In Q4 2025, Highton* recorded a median house price of $790,000 and a median unit price of $545,000. This represents an annual (Q4 2024 - Q4 2025) price growth of 5.7% for houses and 5.1% for units. This suggests that now is an ideal time for owners to capitalize on their investments. Comparing Q4 2024 and Q4 2025, sales increased by 6.6% (to 308 sales in Q4 2025) for houses and by 61.9% (to 102 sales in Q4 2025) for units. Median price growth and higher sales numbers indicate that there is a highly-demanded market, which was further supported by previously lower interest rates. With a very limited number of new houses planned for 2026 price increases is highly likely; thus, buyers need to act fast.

Although several ready-to-sell housing stock are planned, this is not enough compared to Q4 sales of 308 houses and 102 units. Thus, supply will still be insufficient, which puts more pressure on prices across both property types.
