Adelaide’s booming property market has created a surprising opportunity for hundreds of people – a wave of new jobs.
Real estate agencies, property managers and developers are looking for qualified staff on the back of the city becoming one of the strongest residential markets in the country over the past few years.
There are more than 200 real estate and property-related jobs advertised in SA on seek.com.au, reflecting a worker shortage in the sector.
Latest PropTrack figures show Adelaide’s median home value has climbed 90.5 per cent over the past five years to $937,000 and regional SA’s rose 95.4 per cent to $504,000 in the same period.

That growth has largely been driven by property demand far outpacing supply, which has been further worsened by limited land supply to build new houses.
Property Training Australia general and training manager Troy Guthrie said the conditions were creating a unique window of opportunity for those considering a career in the property sector.
“Adelaide is quickly becoming one of Australia’s most exciting property markets, and with that comes incredible career potential,” Mr Guthrie said.
