Quote:Economists also point out that the latest house price data is only to March 31. They are expecting that price data for April - when it becomes available - will show the market is cooling and they expect price growth will slow over the remainder of the year. Quote:The chief economist at AMP Capital Investors, Shane Oliver, is expecting price rises to "slow right down" with an increase in prices of about 5 per cent during this year. He says the middle and upper end should continue to do better at about 10 per cent, with prices of lower-end properties flat or slightly down over the year.

Well, it looks like Melbourne housing is finally starting to cool... good timing for me as I'll be moving there soon!
great read...
MELBOURNE median house prices were stable over the June quarter, according to the latest Australian Property Monitors report. National median house prices, however, fell over the quarter by 0.6 per cent. Sydney was the only capital city to record growth in median house prices, rising by just 0.1 per cent.

House prices fell an average of almost 3 per cent - or $16,000 - in the three months to September.
The value of property sold in Victoria in the past financial year plummeted almost 20 per cent - the biggest drop in a decade. Melbourne's median house price is now $551,000, down $50,000 from its peak last December. Experts blame global economic uncertainty, saying it could be next year before spooked buyers return to the market. Even so, a Commonwealth Bank-RP Data report reveals pockets of Melbourne have huge demand from buyers, making them a seller's dream. Real Estate Institute of Victoria September quarter figures show the city's property slump has belted house prices in many suburbs: Elwood, Malvern, Blairgowrie and Box Hill were the worst hit. But several areas have defied the slowdown: Hawthorn East, Balwyn and Eltham North were among those posting big gains. Melbourne now has 28 suburbs with a median price of more than $1 million. Hawthorn East, Albert Park and Alphington each hit record peaks in the three months to September. But 12 suburbs have fallen out of the $1 million club, with house prices sliding below the magic mark in the past 18 months. Outside Melbourne, house prices in Geelong rose 5.7 per cent while they were flat in Ballarat and fell 2.6 per cent in Bendigo. REIV spokesman Robert Larocca said global economic uncertainty was playing havoc with the property market.
