Dr. Nicola Powell, the primary economic expert at Domain, kept in mind that the anticipated growth rates are reasonably moderate in many cities compared to previous strong upward patterns. She discussed that prices are still increasing, albeit at a slower than in the previous monetary. The cities of Perth and Adelaide are exceptions to this trend, with Adelaide halted, and Perth revealing no signs of decreasing.

Melbourne's property sector stands apart from the rest, preparing for a modest yearly boost of up to 2% for homes. As a result, the median home rate is forecasted to support between $1.03 million and $1.05 million, making it the most slow and unpredictable rebound the city has ever experienced.
