Dr. Nicola Powell, the primary economist at Domain, kept in mind that the expected growth rates are reasonably moderate in many cities compared to previous strong upward patterns. She mentioned that costs are still increasing, albeit at a slower than in the previous financial. The cities of Perth and Adelaide are exceptions to this trend, with Adelaide halted, and Perth showing no indications of slowing down.

Melbourne's real estate sector stands apart from the rest, preparing for a modest annual increase of approximately 2% for residential properties. As a result, the average home price is forecasted to support 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 depression from 2022 to 2023, with the average house rate dropping by 6.3% - a considerable $69,209 decline - over a period of 5 successive quarters.

According to Powell, the real estate market in Australia might get an extra increase, although this might be reversed by a decrease in the purchasing power of consumers, as the cost of living increases at a faster rate than salaries.
