The Melbourne real estate market experienced a prolonged downturn from 2022 to 2023, with the typical home price visiting 6.3% - a considerable $69,209 decline - over a period of five successive quarters.

However local areas close to metropolitan areas would stay appealing places for those who have been priced out of the city and would continue to see an increase of need, she included.
