On the other hand, Adelaide and Brisbane are poised to breach the $1 million mark, and may have currently done so by then.
The Gold Coast real estate market will also skyrocket to new records, with rates expected to increase by 3 to 6 per cent, while the Sunlight Coast is set for a 2 to 5 per cent increase.
Domain chief of economics and research study Dr Nicola Powell said the projection rate of growth was modest in the majority of cities compared to price movements in a "strong increase".
" Prices are still increasing but not as quick as what we saw in the past financial year," she stated.
Perth and Adelaide are the exceptions. "Adelaide has resembled a steam train-- you can't stop it," she said. "And Perth just hasn't decreased."
Rental prices for homes are anticipated to increase in the next year, reaching all-time highs in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast.
According to Powell, there will be a general price increase of 3 to 5 percent in local units, showing a shift towards more economical home choices for purchasers.
Melbourne's realty sector differs from the rest, expecting a modest annual increase of as much as 2% for houses. As a result, the median house rate is projected to support in between $1.03 million and $1.05 million, making it the most sluggish and unforeseeable rebound the city has actually ever experienced.
The Melbourne housing market experienced a prolonged depression from 2022 to 2023, with the average house cost dropping by 6.3% - a considerable $69,209 reduction - over a duration of five consecutive quarters. According to Powell, even with a positive 2% growth forecast, the city's house prices will just handle to recoup about half of their losses.
Home prices in Canberra are expected to continue recuperating, with a projected mild development varying from 0 to 4 percent.

The projection of approaching rate hikes spells problem for potential property buyers struggling to scrape together a down payment.
"It indicates various things for different types of buyers," Powell stated. "If you're an existing home owner, prices are expected to rise so there is that aspect that the longer you leave it, the more equity you may have. Whereas if you're a first-home buyer, it might imply you need to conserve more."
Australia's real estate market remains under significant strain as homes continue to come to grips with affordability and serviceability limits amidst the cost-of-living crisis, increased by continual high interest rates.
The Reserve Bank of Australia has actually kept the official cash rate at a decade-high of 4.35 percent given that late in 2015.
The lack of brand-new real estate supply will continue to be the primary driver of property prices in the short term, the Domain report said. For many years, real estate supply has actually been constrained by deficiency of land, weak structure approvals and high building and construction expenses.
In somewhat positive news for prospective buyers, the stage 3 tax cuts will deliver more money to households, lifting borrowing capacity and, therefore, buying power across the nation.
Powell stated this might further bolster Australia's housing market, however might be balanced out by a decrease 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 need," she said.
Across rural and outlying areas of Australia, the value of homes and houses is anticipated to increase at a steady speed over the coming year, with the forecast differing from one state to another.
"Simultaneously, a swelling population, sustained by robust increases of brand-new citizens, offers a considerable boost to the upward trend in property values," Powell stated.
The revamp of the migration system may activate a decrease in local residential or commercial property demand, as the new experienced visa pathway eliminates the requirement for migrants to live in local locations for 2 to 3 years upon arrival. As a result, an even larger percentage of migrants are most likely to converge on cities in pursuit of remarkable employment opportunities, consequently reducing demand in local markets, according to Powell.
According to her, far-flung areas adjacent to urban centers would retain their appeal for people who can no longer pay for to live in the city, and would likely experience a surge in appeal as a result.
