Cairns Property News - August 2025

I'm happy to report the property market is still powering forward – and with interest rate cuts likely on the horizon, we could be entering one of the most exciting buying and selling windows of 2025. Here’s what’s happening and how it could impact you.

■  Cairns Locally - Watching the Gap on the Capital Cities.
Regional prices climbed 1.7% last quarter, but capital cities edged ahead at 1.8%. This slight shift could be a golden opportunity for buyers to secure value in Cairns before prices accelerate again.

■  Queensland Wide - NEW Contract Laws Now in Effect
The new seller's disclosure regime is officially in effect across Queensland, a Form 2 Seller Disclosure Statement is now required. What does this mean for you?
When selling, you’ll need this document ready to avoid delays.
When buying, you’ll now get more upfront information to make an informed decision. More.

■  Around Australia - Property Growth Cycle Heating Up.
According to Cotality, the National dwelling values rose 0.6% in July, marking the 6th straight month of growth. Every capital city saw increases, keeping momentum strong across the board. If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time to buy – this steady growth suggests you might want to act sooner rather than later. More.

■  Did you know? - FREE property appraisals.
Yes, I can do an appraisal of your property for FREE. Depending on timing, I can often do it as we speak on the phone - if I'm in front of my computer. My "desktop appraisal" will be quick and based on other recent sales in the area, but for a more comprehensive price, I can drop out to your property.

If you have any questions or need assistance with your property journey, please feel free to reach out.
