Settled inner-west character, top schools, lifestyle appeal and proximity to the CBD keep Ashgrove in demand, with buyers chasing renovated Queenslanders, boutique townhomes and scarce land parcels that transact quickly. After a 6–7% lift through 2025 and almost 10% over the year to January 2026, prices have maintained that upward trajectory over the last six months despite lean listings and steady competition. Keep an eye on affordability pressure, rising renovation bills and higher borrowing costs as the key risks, while Olympic-led amenity investment and selective higher-density stock continue to support growth opportunities.
