We have now entered Spring which happens to be South Australia’s peak property season.
The property market is in high demand, with competition never being so intense.
With the introduction of first homeowner grants, we are seeing record rates of first home buyers desperately trying to enter the housing market.
The booming housing market has also encouraged people to enter the property market as investors due to record low-interest rates.
But the golden question that many Adelaide residents are asking is, where should we buy?
The answer to this question is dependent upon whether you are a first home buyer, looking for a family home, looking for an investment property, or looking for luxurious housing. These will determine your price range and the facilities which you require from a suburb.
The Advertiser surveyed Adelaide’s top 5 property experts where they weighed in, giving their top suggested towns to buy in for first home buyers, to invest in, to buy a family home in, and to buy luxury housing in.
See the recommended suburbs in Adelaide’s North, South, East, West, and Hills/Regional areas listed below.
