Is Carlton a Good Suburb to Buy Property in 2026?

Arguments For

  • +Carlton house prices grew 8.5% in the past year — strong capital growth driven by infrastructure investment and lifestyle demand.
  • +Rental yields of 2.8% (houses) and 4.3% (units) provide reliable income for investors.
  • +Pre-CGT reform demand (effective 1 July 2026) is attracting investors who want to lock in current favourable tax settings.
  • +Carlton's position in the St George corridor — close to the CBD, airport, and beaches — supports long-term property value growth.

Arguments Against

  • Entry-level house prices start at $1.45M — high barriers to entry compared to outer suburbs.
  • RBA cash rate at 4.10% increases borrowing costs, reducing purchasing power for buyers with large mortgages.
  • Stamp duty on a $1.82M house can exceed $60K for non-first-home buyers — factor this into your total acquisition cost.
  • If buying for investment, the proposed negative gearing changes (1 July 2026) may reduce future tax deductions on new purchases.

Balanced assessment: Carlton remains one of the strongest suburbs in St George for both owner-occupiers and investors in 2026. For personalised advice on whether to buy in Carlton, contact Michael Kalinovski (0411 818 171) for a free consultation.
