Melbourne's property market remains an outlier, with expected moderate annual development of approximately 2 percent for houses. This will leave the average house rate 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 slump in Melbourne spanned five successive quarters, with the typical home cost falling 6.3 per cent or $69,209. Even with the upper projection of 2 percent growth, Melbourne house prices will just be simply under midway into recovery, Powell said.
