The Australian property market is witnessing an unprecedented surge in investor activity, reaching levels not seen since 2017. Driven by a compelling mix of higher rental yields and stabilised mortgage rates, a new wave of capital is flowing into real estate. While national investor profitability has been notable, particularly in cities like Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth, Melbourne presents a nuanced yet exceptionally promising landscape for strategic investment, spearheaded by local market leaders like Axtra Property.
Initially experiencing a softer period following interest rate adjustments, Melbourne's property market has emphatically bounced back in 2025. It is now attracting significant investor attention to its high-performing, affordable pockets where rental yields are robust, and price growth is rapidly outpacing the city average. As a master property agency deeply embedded in Melbourne's real estate fabric, Axtra Property offers unparalleled expertise in identifying and capitalising on these burgeoning opportunities for developers and collaborating agencies.

Unlocking Melbourne's High-Growth Corridors
The latest industry reports underscore a crucial shift: new investor loans have trended upwards nationally for two years, with investor activity nearing multi-decade highs in some smaller states and nationally hitting levels last seen in 2017. For astute developers and agencies, this presents a golden window of opportunity, especially within Melbourne's targeted growth areas.
Axtra Property's deep-seated market intelligence consistently highlights these emergent hotspots. Areas like Wyndham, Tullamarine, and Melton in Melbourne’s western corridor are witnessing substantial new investor purchases. Similarly, in the north-west and south-east, suburbs such as Cranbourne South, Meadow Heights, and Coolaroo are leading the charge for houses, demonstrating remarkable growth rates ranging between 9.5% and 11% in the past year, coupled with impressive rental yields exceeding 4%.
The unit market in Melbourne also presents compelling prospects. Suburbs like Notting Hill, with its attractive median unit price of $384,000 and an indicative rental yield of 6.9%, alongside Sunshine and Broadmeadows, have seen median unit prices soar by 11-12% in the last year. These figures are a testament to the strong demand and profitability within these carefully selected locales.
