Dr. Nicola Powell, the primary economist at Domain, noted that the anticipated growth rates are fairly moderate in most cities compared to previous strong upward trends. She pointed out that prices are still increasing, albeit at a slower than in the previous financial. The cities of Perth and Adelaide are exceptions to this pattern, with Adelaide halted, and Perth showing no indications of decreasing.
Rental costs for homes are expected to increase in the next year, reaching all-time highs in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, the Gold Coast, and the Sunlight Coast.

Melbourne's realty sector differs from the rest, anticipating a modest yearly boost of approximately 2% for houses. As a result, the average home rate is predicted to stabilize between $1.03 million and $1.05 million, making it the most slow and unforeseeable rebound the city has ever experienced.
The Melbourne housing market experienced a prolonged downturn from 2022 to 2023, with the typical home price visiting 6.3% - a considerable $69,209 decline - over a duration of five consecutive quarters.

Powell cautioned that if wage growth remains stagnant, it will lead to an ongoing battle for price and a subsequent reduction in demand.
Across rural and outlying areas of Australia, the worth of homes and homes is prepared for to increase at a constant rate over the coming year, with the projection varying from one state to another.

The existing overhaul of the migration system might cause a drop in need for regional realty, with the introduction of a new stream of skilled visas to get rid of the reward for migrants to reside in a local area for two to three years on entering the nation.
This will mean that "an even greater percentage of migrants will flock to metropolitan areas looking for better job potential customers, hence moistening demand in the regional sectors", Powell said.
According to her, removed areas adjacent to metropolitan centers would maintain their appeal for people who can no longer pay for to reside in the city, and would likely experience a rise in popularity as a result.
