Premium coastal real estate trends

The allure of coastal living is reflected in the property values, with six out of the top 10 suburbs boasting house prices above $2 million. Sydney’s Darling Point exemplifies high-end growth, reaching a staggering $14 million with a five-year growth rate of 137%.

In contrast, Adelaide’s Maslin Beach presents more affordable options under $1 million.

Regional growth dynamics

Adelaide’s southern coastline showed robust growth, particularly in Kingston Park and Maslin Beach, the latter being the most accessible with house prices around $860,000.

Meanwhile, Perth’s upscale coastal suburbs like Marmion and Watermans Bay also display strong growth, with recent figures reaching up to $2.2 million.

Sydney and Hobart’s coastal appeal

Sydney’s coastal areas are diverse, ranging from the Northern Beaches to the Central Coast, contributing to its dynamic market presence.

Hobart’s contribution comes from Bonnet Hill, where substantial growth has pushed property values to $1.55 million.

Expanding beyond metropolitan areas

The regional market showed a broader price spectrum, with South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula emerging as a key growth area.

Notable suburbs include Price, James Well, and Thompson Beach, with impressive growth figures reaching up to 252%. Tasmania's Dolphin Sands and Saltwater River also show strong growth, supported by solid annual increases, Ray White reported.
