" Rates are still increasing however not as quick as what we saw in the past fiscal year," she stated.
Perth and Adelaide are the exceptions. "Adelaide has actually resembled a steam train-- you can't stop it," she stated. "And Perth simply hasn't decreased."
Rental costs for houses are expected to increase in the next year, reaching all-time highs in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast.

Melbourne's property market remains an outlier, with expected moderate yearly development of as much as 2 per cent for houses. This will leave the median house price at in between $1.03 million and $1.05 million, marking the slowest and most irregular healing in the city's history.

This will indicate that "an even higher proportion of migrants will flock to metropolitan areas looking for much better job prospects, therefore moistening need in the local sectors", Powell said.
Nevertheless regional areas near to cities would stay appealing areas for those who have been priced out of the city and would continue to see an influx of demand, she included.
