We do not predict which suburbs will boom, and a rise over the last 12 months says what happened, not what will. What we can show is measured. Among the suburbs on this page, the largest measured rises over the last 12 months were Church Point (+25.0%), Woollahra (+24.7%) and Claremont Meadows (+24.6%). The change is the 12-month movement in the median house price on the same sales as the median, for calendar 2025, and a change beyond 25% is left out as a small-sample artefact.
