Hobart Listings Are Falling – But Buyer Demand Remains Strong

Hobart is currently the only Australian capital city where the number of homes for sale is falling — with total listings down 22.6% compared with the same time last year.

For sellers, that tightening supply is creating an interesting market.

At New Haus Agency, we are continuing to see strong demand for quality homes across most price segments. Buyers are certainly more considered, but when the right property comes to market — well presented, well positioned and marketed effectively — they are responding.

The key word is quality.

Well-presented family homes, lifestyle properties and premium homes offering something difficult to replicate are attracting genuine competition. With fewer comparable properties available, sellers can find themselves in a strong position when their home meets an active buyer brief.

That doesn’t mean every property will automatically achieve an exceptional result. Pricing, presentation, marketing and the first couple of weeks of a campaign remain critical. But with Hobart entering spring with significantly less stock than twelve months ago, there is a real opportunity for owners considering a move.

And on a personal note, we’re incredibly proud that New Haus Agency has been named a finalist in the REIT Small Agency of the Year category for 2026.

As a relatively young, independently owned agency, it is a genuine honour to be recognised by our industry peers and a wonderful acknowledgement of what we have been building at New Haus.

If you’re considering selling, we’d love to have a conversation about what we’re currently seeing in your market, the buyers we’re speaking with, and how we would position your property to achieve the strongest possible result.
