Melbourne home prices are expected to recover.<\/p>\n
Dr Rynne pointed out that Melbourne\u2019s sluggish performance in recent years has created a value gap. <\/p>\n
\u201cMelbourne\u2019s comparatively lower price base compared to other capital cities is likely to provide room for further growth and help sustain momentum over the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perth to soar past million-dollar mark<\/p>\n
Perth prices are expected grow nearly 13 per cent in the next 12 months alone.<\/p>\n
With this level of growth, the median house price will reach $1.2m by the start of 2028, an increase of $187,000 from about $1m currently. <\/p>\n
Units will hit a median of $753,000, up $103,000 in two years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Perth has changed from one of the country\u2019s most affordable cities to one of the most expensive.<\/p>\n
\u201cPerth continues to record the fastest population growth in the country and limited housing supply is keeping upward pressure on prices,\u201d Dr Rynne explained.<\/p>\n
Adelaide units to boom<\/p>\n
Adelaide units are forecast to record the sharpest rise relative to current values, jumping an average of $114,000 over the next two years. This will mean the median unit price will be $746,000 by 2028. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sluggish home construction is expected to put upward pressure on prices.<\/p>\n
The median house price will reach $1.08m in 2028, up $114,000 from the start of 2026.<\/p>\n
Dr Rynne said affordability issues were forcing a structural shift toward apartment living. <\/p>\n
\u201cOver the next two years, affordability issues are likely to maintain steady demand for units, particularly in capital cities where escalating prices have left a large portion of the population unable to purchase a detached house.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hobart to get modest recovery<\/p>\n
Hobart is expected steady but slower growth. The median house prices will reach $825,000 by 2028, while the median unit price will be $650,000.<\/p>\n
Sydney\u2019s $1.8m benchmark<\/p>\n
The Harbour City remains the heavyweight of Australian property, but entry costs are set to become even more punishing.<\/p>\n

Housing shortages mean buyers still have to compete hard for properties in Sydney. Picture: Monique Harmer<\/p>\n
By the start of 2028, the median Sydney house price will hit $1.81m, a staggering rise of $192,000 from the start of 2026.<\/p>\n
Apartment prices are closing in on the million-dollar milestone, with the median unit forecast to reach $966,990, up $84,000 over two years.<\/p>\n
Brisbane surge to continue<\/p>\n
Explosive growth is predicted for Brisbane, which is shaking off its reputation as a cheaper alternative.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A typical Brisbane house would be worth about $1.4m by 2028.<\/p>\n
Brisbane house prices are forecast to rise by $240,000 over two years, hitting a median of $1.388m by the start of 2028. It\u2019s worth noting the median house price only recently surpassed $1m for the first time.<\/p>\n
Unit prices will grow by over $100,000 to reach a median of $891,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore and more people are making the move to Brisbane, but as with most other cities, housing supply has not kept pace,\u201d Dr Rynne said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home prices may be unrecognisable in two years, even with forecast modest price growth.
