Adelaide and Brisbane will be on the cusp of breaking the $1 million median home rate, if they have not currently hit seven figures.
The Gold Coast housing market will also skyrocket to new records, with costs expected to increase by 3 to 6 percent, while the Sunshine Coast is set for a 2 to 5 percent boost.
Domain chief of economics and research Dr Nicola Powell said the projection rate of growth was modest in the majority of cities compared to cost movements in a "strong increase".
" Costs are still rising however not as fast as what we saw in the past financial year," she stated.
Perth and Adelaide are the exceptions. "Adelaide has actually resembled a steam train-- you can't stop it," she stated. "And Perth just hasn't decreased."
Rental rates for homes are expected to increase in the next year, reaching all-time highs in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, the Gold Coast, and the Sunlight Coast.
Regional systems are slated for an overall cost increase of 3 to 5 per cent, which "says a lot about price in terms of purchasers being steered towards more economical home types", Powell stated.
Melbourne's realty sector stands apart from the rest, expecting a modest yearly boost of up to 2% for houses. As a result, the median home price is predicted to stabilize in between $1.03 million and $1.05 million, making it the most sluggish and unforeseeable rebound the city has ever experienced.
The Melbourne housing market experienced an extended depression from 2022 to 2023, with the typical house cost dropping by 6.3% - a considerable $69,209 decline - over a duration of 5 successive quarters. According to Powell, even with a positive 2% growth forecast, the city's home prices will just manage to recoup about half of their losses.
House rates in Canberra are anticipated to continue recovering, with a projected mild development ranging from 0 to 4 percent.
"The country's capital has actually had a hard time to move into a recognized recovery and will follow a likewise slow trajectory," Powell stated.
With more cost increases on the horizon, the report is not encouraging news for those attempting to save for a deposit.

On the other hand, newbie buyers might require to reserve more funds. Meanwhile, Australia's real estate market is still having a hard time due to affordability and payment capacity concerns, intensified by the continuous cost-of-living crisis and high rates of interest.
The Reserve Bank of Australia has actually kept the official cash rate at a decade-high of 4.35 per cent because late in 2015.

This is because of a prolonged shortage of buildable land, slow building authorization issuance, and elevated building expenditures, which have restricted housing supply for an extended duration.
In rather positive news for prospective buyers, the stage 3 tax cuts will deliver more cash to homes, raising borrowing capacity and, for that reason, purchasing power throughout the nation.
Powell stated this might even more boost Australia's real estate market, however may be offset by a decline in real wages, as living costs increase faster than earnings.
"If wage growth stays at its present level we will continue to see stretched price and moistened demand," she said.
In regional Australia, house and unit costs are anticipated to grow reasonably over the next 12 months, although the outlook varies between states.
"At the same time, a growing population propped up by strong migration continues to be the wind in the sail of home rate growth," Powell said.
The revamp of the migration system may set off a decrease in regional residential or commercial property need, as the new proficient visa pathway removes the requirement for migrants to live in local areas for 2 to 3 years upon arrival. As a result, an even bigger percentage of migrants are likely to converge on cities in pursuit of superior employment opportunities, subsequently lowering demand in local markets, according to Powell.
According to her, distant regions adjacent to metropolitan centers would retain their appeal for people who can no longer afford to live in the city, and would likely experience a rise in appeal as a result.
