Regional areas now account for 63% of all residential sales across Tasmania, underscoring their importance within the state’s property market.

Homes are also selling faster, with average days on market falling to 47 days, reflecting improved buyer demand and competitive market conditions.

Limited supply continues to support market conditions

Housing supply remains constrained across Regional Tasmania. New listings declined 1.3% year-on-year, while total listings dropped significantly by 17.3%, further tightening available stock.

At the same time, population growth, although modest at 0.3% in 2024, continues to place pressure on housing supply and infrastructure.

Construction delivery has declined 15.9% year-on-year, with building approvals also softening, suggesting supply constraints are likely to persist in the near term.

Consistent price growth with stable outlook

Regional Tasmania property prices have recorded 6.0% annual growth, bringing the average residential value to approximately $576,500.

Quarterly growth of 2.7% indicates continued momentum, supported by strong demand and limited supply.

Looking ahead, McGrath Research forecasts price growth of 5% in 2026, followed by a further 3% increase in 2027, reinforcing the steady performance of the Tasmanian regional property market.

Rental market remains undersupplied

Regional Tasmania’s rental market continues to face supply shortages, with vacancy rates at 1.6%, well below the balanced level of around 3%.

Rental prices have increased 3.4% year-on-year to an average of $455 per week, reflecting ongoing tenant demand.

Rents are forecast to rise 7% in 2026, supported by limited rental stock and sustained demand across regional locations.

Gross rental yields remain stable at 4.53%, providing consistent returns for investors in the regional investment property market.

Economic fundamentals shaping demand

Regional Tasmania’s housing market is supported by stable economic conditions, including annual economic growth of 2.6% nationally and an unemployment rate of 4.2%.

Interest rates remain a key influence on buyer behaviour, with the cash rate at 4.10%, shaping affordability and borrowing capacity.

While population growth is slower than other regions, ongoing lifestyle demand and limited housing supply continue to underpin regional housing market performance.
