Property market insights for Richmond

The following provides an overview of property growth in Richmond supported by additional market data.

Growth in houses

While house prices have eased modestly over the past five years, the more recent twelve-month movement has remained broadly steady, offering predictable entry points and improved affordability for buyers seeking family homes in Richmond.

2026$1,270,000 to $1,470,000

2025$1,270,000 to $1,480,000

2022$1,390,000 to $1,610,000

Growth in units

While unit prices have eased modestly over the past five years, the more recent twelve-month movement of a 3% increase points to measured demand for apartment-style living and continued interest from investors and first‑home buyers in Richmond.

2026$585,000 to $680,000

2025$565,000 to $660,000

2024$585,000 to $675,000

Purchasing property in Richmond

Over the past five years house prices in Richmond have eased by around 9% while unit prices have eased by roughly 7%, creating opportunities for buyers. The softer performance in houses reflects shifting owner‑occupier demand and renovation potential in older, larger lots; purchasers seeking family homes can still benefit from the suburb’s leafy streets, nearby parks and schools and close access to Richmond Station and tram corridors. Softer unit values have widened entry points for first‑home buyers and investors, with steady rental demand supporting apartment purchases near Bridge Road and Swan Street.

It may be a favourable moment to consider buying in Richmond, especially for those who want to lock in finance before the market readjusts. A broker can assess borrowing power, compare lenders and loan structures across a wide panel, and clarify repayments and loan features so the most suitable options are identified. That practical finance support helps buyers act with confidence when opportunities arise in the local market.
