Investment hotspots: Australia’s hottest suburbs for savvy property investors revealed
Property experts nationwide have gathered for the third consecutive year to unveil the hottest suburbs, many of which are prime spots for investors.
REA Group’s hot 100 suburbs for 2025 collated insights from industry leaders, including heads of major agencies, buyer’s agents, researchers, investors, academics, and PropTrack economists, to identify standout suburbs based on lifestyle, demographic, and economic factors.
Many of these suburbs are excellent for investors due to high rental yields, affordability, and strong rental growth.
There has been a decline in property investors in recent years, triggered by low demand during pandemic lockdowns, interest rate rises, increased property prices, and unfavourable legislation in some states.
Nonetheless, 2024 saw a rebound, with a 19% rise in new lending commitments to investors over the past 12 months.
Among the top 100 suburbs, many boast impressive rental yields alongside affordable house and unit median prices.
These suburbs are spread across various states, with a significant concentration in Western Australia.
Take a look at the top 10 suburbs with the highest rental yields from this year’s hot 100 list.
