Property prices in Australia are almost back to peak levels according to Domain’s December 2109 House Price Report .
Melbourne’s house prices rose 5 per cent in the last three months of 2019 bringing Melbourne’s median house price to $901,951.
Now just a whisker below the record of $908,734, set in the December quarter of 2017, new peaks in Melbourne property prices should be reached soon.
In fact, the Melbourne property market recorded the strongest resurgence in prices on record.
The markets are fragmented
Following a period where Melbourne house prices slumped by 10.7 per cent, much of those losses have been recouped, in the last 8 months, fuelled by three interest rate cuts, banks loosening the screws on borrowing and increased buyer confidence.
However, the most significant gains were in the more established sought-after inner Melbourne suburbs.
And our experience at the Melbourne Metropole office is that the 2020 market has started with an unprecedented surge of investor and home buyer interest.
