Powell stated this might even more strengthen Australia's real estate market, however might be offset by a decline in real wages, as living expenses increase faster than incomes.
"If wage development remains at its existing level we will continue to see extended price and moistened demand," she stated.
Across rural and outlying areas of Australia, the value of homes and houses is expected to increase at a stable pace over the coming year, with the forecast varying from one state to another.
"Concurrently, a swelling population, fueled by robust influxes of new residents, supplies a considerable boost to the upward trend in home values," Powell stated.
The existing overhaul of the migration system might result in a drop in need for regional property, with the intro of a brand-new stream of proficient visas to eliminate the incentive for migrants to live in a regional location for 2 to 3 years on going into the country.
This will mean that "an even higher percentage of migrants will flock to cities looking for much better task potential customers, thus moistening demand in the local sectors", Powell said.
However regional areas near cities would remain appealing places for those who have actually been evaluated of the city and would continue to see an influx of demand, she added.
