Melbourne's property sector stands apart from the rest, expecting a modest annual boost of up to 2% for homes. As a result, the typical house cost is predicted to stabilize in between $1.03 million and $1.05 million, making it the most slow and unpredictable rebound the city has ever experienced.
The 2022-2023 decline in Melbourne spanned five successive quarters, with the typical house cost 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 recovery, Powell stated.

As a result, an even bigger portion of migrants are likely to converge on cities in pursuit of superior employment opportunities, consequently lowering need in regional markets, according to Powell.
According to her, distant regions adjacent to urban centers would maintain their appeal for people who can no longer manage to reside in the city, and would likely experience a surge in popularity as a result.
