Victoria Land Primed For Comeback, As SEQ and Adelaide Rumble On

Victoria’s land market is primed to begin a much-anticipated recovery in 2026, as other key land markets in South East Queensland and Adelaide continue to perform strongly, according to a new report on key land markets by Oliver Hume Property Group. Oliver Hume today released its latest Quarterly Market Insights (QMI)data for the December quarter, which analyses thousands of land sales across key markets in Melbourne, South East Queensland and Adelaide.

This QMI also features a compelling suite of expert contributions:
Adam Duster of MyFirstHome & MyFirstLoan offers an insightful take on navigating the new era of first-home buyer lending. UDIA Victoria's Chief Executive Officer, Linder Allison, returns focus to Victoria, emphasising a shift in mindset from 'least worst' to 'best in class.' Meanwhile, House Market Analyst Eliza Owen, formerly Cotality's Head of Residential Research, highlights Australia's property stability despite leading global rate hikes.

We hope you enjoy, and feel free to share with your network.
