The Gold Coast housing market will likewise skyrocket to new records, with rates expected to increase by 3 to 6 percent, while the Sunshine Coast is set for a 2 to 5 percent increase.
Domain chief of economics and research Dr Nicola Powell stated the forecast rate of development was modest in most cities compared to cost motions in a "strong upswing".
" Costs are still increasing but not as quick as what we saw in the past financial year," she said.
Perth and Adelaide are the exceptions. "Adelaide has actually been like a steam train-- you can't stop it," she stated. "And Perth simply hasn't slowed down."
Rental prices for houses are anticipated to increase in the next year, reaching all-time highs in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast.
Regional systems are slated for a total price boost of 3 to 5 percent, which "says a lot about cost in regards to buyers being guided towards more budget friendly property types", Powell stated.
Melbourne's property market remains an outlier, with anticipated moderate yearly growth of as much as 2 percent for homes. This will leave the median house cost at in between $1.03 million and $1.05 million, marking the slowest and most irregular recovery in the city's history.
The 2022-2023 decline in Melbourne spanned five successive quarters, with the typical house price falling 6.3 per cent or $69,209. Even with the upper forecast of 2 percent development, Melbourne home rates will only be just under halfway into recovery, Powell stated.
Canberra home prices are also expected to stay in healing, although the projection growth is mild at 0 to 4 percent.
"The nation's capital has actually had a hard time to move into an established recovery and will follow a similarly sluggish trajectory," Powell stated.
The projection of upcoming price hikes spells bad news for potential property buyers having a hard time to scrape together a deposit.
"It suggests different things for different types of buyers," Powell stated.

Whereas if you're a first-home purchaser, it may suggest you need to save more."
Australia's housing market remains under considerable stress as families continue to come to grips with price and serviceability limitations in the middle of the cost-of-living crisis, heightened by sustained high interest rates.
The Australian central bank has maintained its benchmark interest rate at a 10-year peak of 4.35% because the latter part of 2022.
According to the Domain report, the limited availability of new homes will remain the primary factor influencing property values in the near future. This is due to a prolonged shortage of buildable land, sluggish construction permit issuance, and elevated building expenses, which have restricted housing supply for an extended period.
A silver lining for prospective property buyers is that the approaching phase 3 tax decreases will put more money in people's pockets, thus increasing their ability to get loans and ultimately, their purchasing power nationwide.
According to Powell, the housing market in Australia may receive an additional increase, although this might be reversed by a decline in the acquiring power of customers, as the expense of living boosts at a quicker rate than incomes. Powell cautioned that if wage growth remains stagnant, it will lead to a continued struggle for price and a subsequent decline in demand.
In local Australia, home and system costs are expected to grow moderately over the next 12 months, although the outlook varies between states.
"Simultaneously, a swelling population, fueled by robust influxes of brand-new homeowners, supplies a considerable boost to the upward trend in property values," Powell mentioned.
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 proficient visas to eliminate the incentive for migrants to live in a regional location for 2 to 3 years on getting in the nation.
This will imply that "an even greater proportion of migrants will flock to cities searching for much better job prospects, thus moistening need in the local sectors", Powell said.
According to her, removed regions adjacent to urban centers would maintain their appeal for people who can no longer pay for to live in the city, and would likely experience a surge in appeal as a result.
