Melbourne's real estate sector stands apart from the rest, preparing for a modest annual increase of as much as 2% for homes. As a result, the typical house cost is forecasted to support between $1.03 million and $1.05 million, making it the most sluggish and unforeseeable rebound the city has actually ever experienced.
The Melbourne real estate market experienced an extended depression from 2022 to 2023, with the average house price visiting 6.3% - a substantial $69,209 decline - over a period of five consecutive quarters.
