The real estate market in the Gold Coast is anticipated to reach new highs, with rates forecasted to increase by 3 to 6 percent, while the Sunshine Coast is expected to see an increase of 2 to 5 percent. Dr. Nicola Powell, the primary financial expert at Domain, noted that the expected growth rates are reasonably moderate in a lot of cities compared to previous strong upward trends.

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

According to Powell, there will be a basic price increase of 3 to 5 percent in regional systems, indicating a shift towards more affordable home options for purchasers.
Melbourne's home market remains an outlier, with anticipated moderate annual growth of approximately 2 per cent for houses. This will leave the median house rate at between $1.03 million and $1.05 million, marking the slowest and most inconsistent healing in the city's history.
The 2022-2023 slump in Melbourne covered five consecutive quarters, with the median house price falling 6.3 percent or $69,209. Even with the upper projection of 2 per cent development, Melbourne home prices will only be simply under halfway into healing, Powell stated.

The present overhaul of the migration system might result in a drop in demand for regional real estate, with the intro of a brand-new stream of proficient visas to eliminate the incentive for migrants to live in a regional area for 2 to 3 years on getting in the nation.
This will indicate that "an even greater proportion of migrants will flock to metropolitan areas searching for much better task potential customers, therefore dampening demand in the local sectors", Powell stated.
Nevertheless local areas close to metropolitan areas would stay appealing places for those who have been priced out of the city and would continue to see an influx of need, she included.
