Melbourne's real estate sector differs from the rest, expecting a modest annual boost of up to 2% for houses. As a result, the mean house rate is forecasted to stabilize in between $1.03 million and $1.05 million, making it the most sluggish and unforeseeable rebound the city has ever experienced.

This will suggest that "an even greater proportion of migrants will flock to cities searching for much better task potential customers, thus dampening demand in the regional sectors", Powell said.

However regional areas close to metropolitan areas would remain appealing areas for those who have actually been evaluated of the city and would continue to see an influx of demand, she added.
