Port Augusta has been named South Australia’s hottest housing market, according to new real estate data highlighting strong growth across regional areas.
An analysis of more than 5,000 suburbs shows the regional city recorded 26 per cent price growth over the past 12 months, well above the Outback South Australia regional average.
With a median house price of around $300,000, Port Augusta topped state rankings based on growth relative to its surrounding region.
Analysts say more affordable regional centres like Port Augusta are attracting buyers priced out of capital cities, driving increased demand.
Nearby Port Pirie West also featured prominently in the analysis, ranking third statewide.
The data suggests affordability continues to underpin strong interest in regional South Australian property markets.
