Australia’s Housing Market Rises in 2025: Financing Tips from Nik Finance

Australia’s housing market gained momentum in May 2025, with dwelling values rising 0.5% nationally, according to CoreLogic. This growth, adding 1.7% year-to-date, is driven by recent and anticipated interest rate cuts. At Nik Finance, we’re here to help you navigate this market with tailored mortgage refinancing, home purchase loans, and property investment loans. Here’s what this market trend means for you.

Why Are Housing Values Rising?

CoreLogic’s data shows every capital city saw at least a 0.4% increase in May, fueled by:

• Interest Rate Cuts: The RBA’s May 2025 cut, following February’s, has boosted buyer confidence, with more cuts expected to drive demand.

• Market Resilience: Despite a 0.4% dip ending January, only Melbourne (-1.2%) and Canberra (-0.7%) show annual declines, with a narrow 9.8% gap between highest and lowest growth rates.

• Regional Strength: Regional South Australia led with 5.8% growth year-to-date, while regional Tasmania remained flat at 0.1%.

These trends suggest a robust market, making now a strategic time to explore financing options.

Leveraging Mortgage Refinancing

With interest rates falling, mortgage refinancing can help you capitalise on market growth. Benefits of home mortgage solutions include:

• Reducing monthly payments with lower rates.

• Accessing home equity for renovations or investments.

• Simplifying finances by consolidating debt.

Nik Finance’s expert brokers can tailor refinancing plans, especially in strong markets like Sydney and Brisbane.

Financing for Home Buyers and Investors

The market’s broad-based growth offers opportunities for first-home buyers and investors. Consider:

• Home Purchase Loans: Home purchase loans for affordable properties in recovering markets like Melbourne or Canberra.

• Property Investment Loans: Property investment loans to build wealth in fast-growing regions like Regional SA or Perth, where lower price tiers are driving gains.

First-home buyers can also explore smaller homes or ‘rentvesting’ to enter the market.

Affordable Car Finance Options

Beyond property, managing finances in a growing market is key. Nik Finance offers affordable car finance starting at 4.49% p.a., with quick approvals to support your broader financial goals.
