As 2025 draws to a close, the Southern Highlands property market continues to attract strong interest from local and Sydney buyers. While the pace of growth has moderated compared to the post-pandemic surge, the region has maintained steady momentum driven by lifestyle appeal, limited supply, and renewed confidence in regional living.
MEDIAN PRICES AND MARKET MOVEMENT
Across Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale, and surrounding villages, median prices have remained stable, with slight increases in select prestige pockets. Detached homes continue to lead demand, especially those offering privacy, acreage, or renovation potential.
BUYER ACTIVITY AND SENTIMENT
Activity has picked up toward the end of the year, particularly from Sydney families preparing for 2026 school enrolments. Downsizers are also active, favouring low-maintenance homes near town centres. Competition remains notable for homes in walkable locations.
KEY TRENDS IN 2025
- Increased interest in energy efficient and upgraded homes
- Acreage properties performing strongly due to ongoing lifestyle migration
- A rise in off-market transactions driven by privacy-focused vendors
- Stable rental demand supported by professionals and remote workers
