Hotspotting’s Price Predictor Index (Summer 2025–26) has identified 50 Australian suburbs that have demonstrated long-term price stability, steady demand via consistent sales volumes over recent years, as well as resilience throughout fluctuating economic conditions.
Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder said the findings reinforce his long-held belief that consistency will always outperform chaos.
“Some of the best investment suburbs aren’t the ones making headlines during a boom – they’re the ones quietly delivering dependable growth year after year,” Mr Ryder said.
“Chasing hype is a recipe for disappointment because the real strength lies in suburbs with enduring appeal, diverse economies, and stable buyer demand.”
The Top 50 list spans the nation, from Kambah in the ACT, to Cabramatta and Wahroonga in NSW, Camp Hill and Peregian Springs in Queensland, Blakeview in South Australia, Devonport in Tasmania, Doncaster East and Frankston South in Victoria, and Greenfields and Swan View in Western Australia.
“These suburbs have consistently performed well over time because they’re underpinned by real demand, real communities, and real economic activity,” Mr Ryder said.
Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) chair Cate Bakos said the research provides a crucial counter-narrative to the speculative behaviour often seen in the market.
“Too many investors are lured into boom-and-bust locations only to find themselves stuck with underperforming assets,” Ms Bakos said.
“Consistent suburbs generally offer lower risk, stronger fundamentals, and better long-term outcomes, with this research giving investors a roadmap grounded in evidence and not emotion.”
Across the Top 50 Most Consistent Suburbs, common characteristics include strong owner-occupier appeal, balanced supply pipelines, local employment diversity, and price points aligned with broad market demand.
Houses dominate the list (38 suburbs) versus 12 unit markets. The cheapest is Biloela ($366k house) and the priciest is Wahroonga ($2.99m house)
The research found that South Mackay was considered the Most Consistent market due to its steady house sales in every quarter over the past five years, as well as affordability and high yields for investors.
