" Prices 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 been like a steam train-- you can't stop it," she stated. "And Perth just hasn't slowed down."
Apartments are likewise set to become more expensive in the coming 12 months, with systems in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast to strike brand-new record costs.
