Adelaide has been one of Australia's star capital city markets, and that's fantastic news if you're thinking about selling! Here's what the latest data shows, how to use it to price your home, and how to time your launch for the strongest result, all while keeping the commission with a PLBO private sale.
Adelaide house prices in 2026
| Measure | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Metro Adelaide median house price, June quarter 2026 | $975,000 | Office of the Valuer-General |
| Metro Adelaide median house price, December quarter 2025 | $925,000 | Valuer-General via ABC News |
| Adelaide median house price, June quarter 2026 | $1.125 million | Domain House Price Report via ABC News |
| Annual change to June 2026 | +15.9% | Domain |
| Quarterly change, June quarter 2026 | +4.8% | Domain |
On Domain's figures, Adelaide is now the fourth most expensive capital for houses, ahead of Melbourne, Canberra, Hobart and Darwin. It was also the fastest-rising capital in the June quarter. The Valuer-General and Domain measure different sets of sales, so their medians differ. Both point the same way: up.
What Adelaide's growth means for you
Your home is probably worth more than you think
With prices up double digits in a year, a sale from 12 months ago may be well behind today's market. Price from the last three to six months of sales wherever you can.
Higher prices mean bigger commissions, and bigger savings
Commission is a percentage, so it grows with your price. At the SA average of about 2.25% (OpenAgent):
| Sale price | Typical commission | PLBO package | You keep up to |
|---|---|---|---|
| $750,000 | $16,875 | from $699 | $16,176 |
| $975,000 (VG median) | $21,938 | from $699 | $21,239 |
| $1,125,000 (Domain median) | $25,313 | from $699 | $24,614 |
| $1,500,000 | $33,750 | from $699 | $33,051 |
With PLBO you pay one upfront fee and keep 100% of your sale proceeds.
Buyers are active and prepared
A rising market brings prepared buyers who have their finance organised and act quickly on well-presented, well-priced homes. That's exactly what a strong PLBO listing delivers.
How to price your Adelaide home
- Open your PLBO property comparables report. It shows recent sales of similar homes near you, so you're pricing from real evidence from day one!
- Adjust for the differences: renovations, a pool, solar, aspect, parking and street appeal.
- Set your asking price within the range the evidence supports. A single price or "offers over" both work well in Adelaide.
- Track your results in the PLBO dashboard: enquiries, inspection registrations and offers. After two weekends you'll know exactly how buyers are responding, and you can fine-tune in minutes.
- Launch with confidence! Your comparables report backs your price, and a registered valuer can add a formal valuation if you'd like one too.
Adelaide suburbs at a glance
Adelaide's suburbs move at different speeds. Inner-ring, coastal, Hills and outer-growth suburbs each have their own buyers. What counts most is what similar homes near you have sold for, and that's exactly what your PLBO property comparables report shows you.
When to sell in Adelaide
| Season | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Spring (Sep–Nov) | the busiest season, with the most buyers out and about |
| Summer (Dec–Feb) | activity eases around Christmas and picks up strongly from late January |
| Autumn (Mar–May) | steady, motivated buyers and comfortable inspection weather |
| Winter (Jun–Aug) | fewer competing listings, so your home stands out to serious buyers |
With PLBO you choose your launch date, so you can list the moment your home is ready. Readiness matters more than the calendar: great photos, a well-supported price and your Form 1 prepared.
