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.

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.
