Mid-Year Check-In: How's the Hobart Property Market Tracking in 2025?
As we move into the second half of 2025, it's the perfect time to reflect on the year so far in Hobart’s property market — and look ahead to what’s on the horizon as the busy spring season approaches.
A Steady Start to the Year
The year kicked off with a sense of cautious optimism. With interest rates stabilising following the RBA’s pauses earlier in the year, both buyers and sellers have started to re-enter the market with more confidence.
Here at MIX Property Group, we’ve seen steady demand for:
-
Well-maintained family homes
-
Lifestyle properties in leafy suburbs
-
Homes with flexible floor plans and plenty of natural light
Properties that offer space, low-maintenance living, and move-in-ready appeal are performing well.
Investor Activity is Picking Up
Rental demand remains exceptionally strong, and vacancy rates are still low, which is drawing investors back to the market.
We're seeing investor interest in:
-
Homes on large blocks with development potential (STCA)
-
Properties needing light cosmetic updates
-
Dual-income or granny flat setups
With solid rental yields compared to other capital cities, Hobart continues to appeal to savvy investors.
What’s Ahead for the Rest of 2025?
Looking forward, the spring selling season is expected to ramp up from late August through to October.
We anticipate:
-
More listings coming to market
-
Continued strong buyer competition
-
Opportunities for sellers to stand out with great presentation and smart marketing
Popular suburbs like Inner city Hobart, Eastern Shore, Kingborough and the Northern Suburbs are set to remain in high demand — especially for homes that balance lifestyle and affordability.
