Dr. Nicola Powell, the chief economic expert at Domain, noted that the expected growth rates are relatively moderate in many cities compared to previous strong upward trends.

The 2022-2023 decline in Melbourne spanned five successive quarters, with the mean house price falling 6.3 percent or $69,209. Even with the upper forecast of 2 per cent development, Melbourne home prices will only be simply under halfway into recovery, Powell stated.
