The cities of Perth and Adelaide are exceptions to this pattern, with Adelaide halted, and Perth showing no indications of slowing down.

Melbourne's real estate sector differs from the rest, preparing for a modest yearly boost of approximately 2% for residential properties. As a result, the mean home price is forecasted to support in between $1.03 million and $1.05 million, making it the most sluggish and unforeseeable rebound the city has actually ever experienced.

The Melbourne housing market experienced a prolonged downturn from 2022 to 2023, with the typical home price stopping by 6.3% - a substantial $69,209 decline - over a period of five successive quarters.

As a result, an even larger portion of migrants are most likely to converge on cities in pursuit of exceptional employment opportunities, subsequently reducing need in local markets, according to Powell.

According to her, distant regions adjacent to city centers would maintain their appeal for people who can no longer pay for to live in the city, and would likely experience a rise in appeal as a result.
