Market Boom: Investor Activity Hits 8-Year High
Investors have been flooding back into Australia's property market, fueled by low interest rates and tight rental supply, sparking fierce competition and hefty profits for sellers.
Investor activity has surged over the past 18 months, reaching its highest share of new lending since 2017, with about one in seven Australians now owning a rental property.
According to REA Group's PropTrack Terri Scheer Investor Report, new investor lending has risen steadily, fueled by tight rental conditions and renewed confidence following the multiple RBA rate cuts.
- Queensland and South Australia recorded the highest increase in investor loans, up by 16 per cent from the 2024 to 2025 financial year.
- Investor activity has also been strong in NSW, with investor loans up 12 per cent.
- Western Australia saw a 10 per cent increase, and Victoria recorded a rise of 9 per cent over the same period.
