    Article on realestate.com.au this morning had the following as the top 10 growth areas within metro areas:

    Suburb / Median / Growth
    1. Highbury SA / 587K / 26%
    2. Palm Beach NSW / 3.4M / 24%
    3. Chigwell TAS / 326K / 23%
    4. North Adelaide SA / 1M / 22%
    5. Smithfield Plains SA / 212K / 20%
    6. Dodges Ferry TAS / 360K / 20%
    7. Marino SA / 735K / 20%
    8. Warburton VIC / 527K / 20%
    9. Whittlesea VIC / 643K / 19%
    10. Collaroy NSW / 2.8M / 19%

    Seems like there's something for nearly everyone among that lot, good range of locations and good range of price brackets.

    Yeah saw that.
    Seems a lot of SA and entry level markets

    One suburb not on that list was 30% growth this year alone (not sure if the data was totally reliable thoguh)

    From the SA suburbs with the exception of Smithfield Plains they are all middle ring suburbs.

    Hmmm Marino... it would be low volume and a very different mix of housing being sold (e.g. $500k vanilla houses and $1M+ with ocean views), so if this is a straight up median based on all sales I would be a little skeptical of the change (without taking time to find comparables).

    That said I think Marino offers some exceptional value for money (even if it has already increased 20% over the last year). Big house on a big block, with million dollar views, close to the beach, with good transport options for the price of a 2 bedroom apartment in Sydney? Yes please :D

    Fair point and I was thinking exactly the same myself. Was more tongue in cheek as I’ve got a place in Seacliff.

    Saying that still very confident there is a lot of growth to come on that side of Brighton Rd.

    Warburton and its surrounds are lovely but calling it metro is pretty ridiculous. It's 75km out of Melbourne. Almost an hour and a half in good traffic. Even Whittlesea is a long, long way out.
