2019 welcomes investors back into the Adelaide market, due to a variety of compelling reasons that are turning heads as far away as Sydney and Melbourne. Interstate investors seeking new markets and good value in capital cities are excited by Adelaide’s steady market conditions. “A number of economists at the moment are saying if you’re investing, you should be putting your money across into the South Australian marketplace,” Real Estate Institute of SA president Brett Roenfeldt told Realestate.com.au in February.

By the end of last year, Sydney house and unit prices had made their steepest annual fall in over two decades; by contrast, Adelaide median house value soared to record highs, sending a clear message to the rest of the country that SA is still the most affordable state and a great place to invest. What’s more, NAB predicts Adelaide will see one of the most solid house price growths in coming months, continuing a sustainable pace of capital gains.

Property investment in Adelaide is also more attractive than ever due to 2019’s large infrastructure spends. Adelaide will soon be the new home of a skyline-shaping $551 million City Deal, the Australian Space Agency and a $50 billion Navy submarines contract. Employment growth has also been fuelled by the opening of the $2.4 billion Royal Adelaide hospital and Lionsgate’s announcement that they will be adding another 1,200 jobs to the former Holden site.
