In short: Across Adelaide’s Eastern Suburbs, house values held firm over the 12 months to May 2026. Median house prices ranged from about $1.21 million in Kensington to $2.38 million in Tusmore, and most suburbs recorded solid annual growth. Magill led the area for growth, and well-presented homes kept selling quickly — several suburbs sat under three weeks on market. As always, these are area-wide medians; your own home’s value depends on its position, condition and land.

Where prices grew fastest
The strongest annual growth was in Magill, up 15.3%, followed by Leabrook (up 12.0%), Rosslyn Park (up 11.7%) and Kensington Gardens (up 10.9%). Kensington Park and Beulah Park were close behind, each around 10%. Growth at this level reflects steady buyer competition for quality homes rather than a speculative surge.
One figure to read with care is Marryatville, where the annual median for houses came in lower than a year ago. That result rests on a small number of sales (around 11 for the period), so it reflects the particular mix of homes that happened to trade rather than a genuine fall in values — in a small suburb, one unusually large or small sale can move the median sharply. We’d treat it as noise, not a trend.
How quickly homes are selling
Buyer demand stayed healthy through the period. Tusmore recorded the shortest median time on market at 17 days, with Leabrook, Marryatville, Magill and Rosslyn Park all around 18 to 19 days. At the upper end, Erindale (36 days) and Kensington Gardens (34 days) took longer — often a feature of higher price points, where the buyer pool is smaller and more selective.
The takeaway for sellers
For most owners across the core Eastern Suburbs, conditions remain favourable without being frothy. Well-presented homes in the popular price bands are still attracting strong interest and selling within a few weeks. The key to a smooth result is pricing to the evidence — recent comparable sales rather than last year’s headline figures. If your home sits at the premium end of the market, allow a little more time and lean on presentation and marketing to reach the right buyer.
