Property market analysis
Top property markets in Australia
With high property values, population and infrastructure investment, these cities are among the top property markets in Australia. However, each city is vastly different from the next in its market characteristics and prospects for future house price growth.
Melbourne property market
The property market in Melbourne is currently a two-sided coin. While some areas are slowing in growth, others are enjoying significant increases in property value. The difference is largely dependent on location and price point, where growth for lower-value properties in the outer suburbs of the city remains promising.

Why property market advice matters
When investing significant amounts of money, seeking expert advice can give you the confidence that you’re making the right choice. This is particularly important if you’re looking to purchase an investment property.
Thinking about property prices, local amenities and how many bedrooms you need is only a first step. There are a number of major factors that affect the future outlook of your investment. Do you know about finding suburbs in the right phase of the property cycle, researching future infrastructure investments, movements or population, new business and amenities?
With a whole range of external factors affecting your investment, there is only so much research you can do alone. Consider getting expert insights on property market trends before making any decisions on specific areas for your property purchase.

The property cycle explained
The property cycle is a well-established way of predicting how a market will act in the coming years. It consists of four phases:
1. Value
Prices are flat, there is a little activity in the market
2. Growth
Prices begin to slowly rise, then with greater pace
3. Peak
After a rapid increase, prices reach the top of the market
4. Correction
Prices stagnate or fall as the market is moderated
There is a huge number of factors that influence the property cycle. This can range from large scale infrastructure investments and new transport links, to the state of house prices in other suburbs, to a surge in new businesses or amenities.
We use reliable data and regular analysis of market trends to predict upcoming areas of growth, and which areas may not give the best return on your investment in the long run.
A property may double in price over a cycle
A cycle generally runs for seven to ten years
Cycles are different across cities and suburbs
