Overall, this shows Adelaide’s metro property market makes far more wins than losses — in the first quarter of 2018, resales generated $491.1 million in profits and $14.9 million in losses.
Over the first quarter of 2018, only 8.2 per cent of properties across wider Adelaide res
old at a loss- a slight increase on our 7.5 per cent figure for the same quarter last year.
The report indicates houses are outperforming units when it comes to turning a profit, and that owner-occupied homes generally do better than investment properties — just over 6% of owner-occupied homes sold at a loss during the quarter, compared to 11.5 per cent of investor-owned properties.

This is most likely because investors are more willing to incur losses, which can be offset against future capital gains.
Real Estate Institute of South Australia (REISA) CEO Greg Troughton agrees, saying speculative investments are easier to walk away from than family homes.
Looking at Adelaide’s top loss-making areas, Mr Troughton noted they are all popular with investors. “Some may well have timed their run on potential gains a bit too late,” He said.
