Why Now Is the Time to Invest with Australian Property Lovers: Victoria Leads as National Property Confidence Surges

Presented by Australian Property Lovers

The Australian property market is back in motion—and savvy investors are positioning for the upswing. According to the latest NAB Residential Property Survey (Q1 2025), buyer sentiment has bounced strongly, and Victoria is officially on the path to recovery.

At Australian Property Lovers (APL), we offer over 2,700 investment properties nationwide, and while we see opportunities across Queensland, NSW, WA, SA, ACT and beyond, the numbers are clear: Victoria is becoming one of the most strategic plays for growth-focused investors.


🧠 What the Data Tells Us: VIC Market Is Reawakening

  • Victoria’s market sentiment jumped from -22 to +16 in Q1 2025, showing renewed optimism among property professionals.
  • 44% of experts now say VIC is either rising or at the start of recovery, with house prices forecast to grow 0.8% in 12 months and 3.2% over 2 years.
  • Rental yields in VIC remain healthy, with growth forecast at 2.2% next year and 3.2% over two years.
  • Key constraints like planning permit delays (73% in VIC) and construction costs are capping new supply—creating tight conditions ideal for capital growth.

🔨 Melbourne Auction Market Leading the Nation

On Saturday, May 10th, 2025, Melbourne once again outperformed all other capital cities in both auction volume and clearance rates, according to Property Update. This consistent dominance signals that real buyers are back in the market and that Melbourne’s rebound is no longer a theory—it’s happening.

This uptick is not a flash in the pan—it’s validation of NAB’s data and a signal for investors to act early before the crowd follows.


💸 Falling Interest Rates Add Fuel to the Fire

NAB forecasts that the cash rate will drop to 2.6% by early 2026, following February’s cut and further easing expected throughout 2025. This translates to cheaper borrowing, improved affordability, and increased competition for quality property.

With repayments on a $600,000 loan potentially dropping by more than $500 per month, it’s the kind of lending environment investors dream of.
