The real estate market in the Gold Coast is expected to reach new highs, with rates projected to increase by 3 to 6 percent, while the Sunlight Coast is anticipated to see an increase of 2 to 5 percent. Dr. Nicola Powell, the chief financial expert at Domain, noted that the anticipated growth rates are fairly moderate in most cities compared to previous strong upward trends. She pointed out 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 showing no indications of slowing down.

According to Powell, there will be a basic price increase of 3 to 5 per cent in regional units, suggesting a shift towards more economical property choices for purchasers.
Melbourne's real estate sector stands apart from the rest, preparing for a modest yearly 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 sluggish and unforeseeable rebound the city has ever experienced.
The 2022-2023 slump in Melbourne covered five successive quarters, with the typical home cost falling 6.3 percent or $69,209. Even with the upper projection of 2 per cent development, Melbourne home costs will just be just under halfway into healing, Powell stated.
House costs in Canberra are prepared for to continue recuperating, with a projected mild development varying from 0 to 4 percent.
"According to Powell, the capital city continues to deal with difficulties in attaining a stable rebound and is anticipated to experience a prolonged and sluggish speed of development."
The projection of impending price hikes spells problem for potential homebuyers having a hard time to scrape together a down payment.

On the other hand, Australia's real estate market is still having a hard time due to price and repayment capacity concerns, intensified by the continuous cost-of-living crisis and high rates of interest.

According to Powell, the housing market in Australia may receive an additional boost, although this might be counterbalanced by a decrease in the purchasing power of consumers, as the cost of living increases at a faster rate than salaries. Powell warned that if wage growth stays stagnant, it will lead to an ongoing battle for price and a subsequent decline in demand.
In local Australia, home and system rates are anticipated to grow reasonably over the next 12 months, although the outlook varies between states.
"At the same time, a growing population propped up by strong migration continues to be the wind in the sail of property price growth," Powell stated.
The existing 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 knowledgeable visas to get rid of the reward for migrants to reside in a local location for two to three years on going into the country.
This will mean that "an even greater percentage of migrants will flock to cities searching for much better job prospects, thus dampening demand in the local sectors", Powell stated.
According to her, distant regions adjacent to urban centers would maintain their appeal for people who can no longer pay for to reside in the city, and would likely experience a rise in popularity as a result.
