Booming Yass Valley
Regional migration shows no sign of slowing: the latest Regional Movers Index indicates that city-to-regional relocations are still running about 16 per cent above pre-COVID levels. This continuing metro exodus is funnelling new buyers and investors into growth corridors like Yass Valley – long recognised as one of inland NSW’s fastest-growing local government areas.
That popularity is now showing up in the numbers. Domain’s most recent house-price report found the median house price across Yass Valley jumped almost $300,000 between 2019 and 2024, a 49.8 per cent rise, making it one of the state’s stand-out tree-change markets.
For anyone searching for an affordable country lifestyle that still keeps Canberra conveniences within an easy commute, Yass delivers: rolling river-valley scenery, heritage-lined streets of cafés and boutiques, quality schools, modern health services, and a community that welcomes newcomers. With strong price growth already on the board – and population forecasts pointing higher – Yass offers tree-changers and investors alike a chance to secure a home in one of NSW’s most dynamic regional centres.
