Sydney Melbourne Property Prices: A New Forecast
Prices for homes in Sydney and Melbourne are going up fast. Buyer confidence is growing. This is making the market rebound quickly.
Westpac has a new forecast. It says that Sydney and Melbourne property prices could jump a lot by the end of 2026.
What Could Happen to Prices?
Westpac expects Sydney prices to rise 5% this year and 8% in 2026. This could add over $150,000 to the median price. The median price could reach $1,675,827 by December 2026.
Melbourne is also set for big gains. Westpac forecasts prices will rise 4% this year and 10% in 2026. This could push the median price past $1 million by the end of 2026.
Other cities are also seeing strong growth. Perth is expected to rise 8% this year. ANZ also tips Brisbane to grow by 7.4% by the end of 2025.
The News is Mixed
These rising prices are good for people who already own a home. Their home is now worth more.
But for new buyers, this can be hard. The money you need for a deposit gets bigger. It also gets harder to get a loan from a bank.
The extra money you can borrow at lower rates might be lost. This is because the prices of homes are rising so fast.
What This Means For You
The market is strong. But it comes with risks. A forecast is not a guarantee. Prices can change if the RBA changes rates or if the economy shifts.
It is important not to borrow too much. It could be risky if things change. A good plan and a good loan are key. You can read our article on how to avoid paying too much for a home.
