According to Corelogic research<\/a>, Australia\u2019s national median dwelling value delivered a 6.8% annual growth<\/strong> rate over the 30 years to 2022.<\/p>\n

Across each of the past three decades, at a macro level, it was the 1992-2002 period that provided the largest capital gains, with CoreLogic\u2019s national Home Value Index (HVI) rising by 77%.<\/p>\n

The middle decade (2002-2012) saw the national HVI rise by 59%, while the most recent decade has seen national dwelling values increase by 72%.<\/p>\n

<\/div>This helps to give some kind of indicator about where property prices will head next.<\/p>\n

Some economists predict a 40-50% growth in Australia's house prices<\/a> between now and 2030.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t surprising because it\u2019s often said that over the long term, the average annual growth rate for well-located capital city properties is about 7% (and we know that prices have risen 6.8% per annum over the past 30 years), which would mean, in general, well-located properties should double in value every 7-10 years.<\/p>\n

That would put Australia\u2019s median dwelling price at around $1.2 million in 2030<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But, if nothing else, the pandemic years (and the years that followed) have shown us that no matter how many times you forecast property prices, it will always be difficult to predict exactly where property prices will be in three months' time, let alone in 7-10 years into the future.<\/p>\n

Note: <\/span>History shows us that some properties will outperform others by 50-100% in terms of capital growth, so strategic property investors who buy investment-grade properties could expect to see the value of their properties more than double within the next 7-10 years.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

After all, that's how averages work - some properties will outperform, and others will underperform.<\/p>\n

In other words, we always have to take these house price predictions with a big pinch of salt.<\/p>\n

But of course, other investors will manufacture capital growth through renovations or development which is another way to help beat the averages.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, what I do see is that there are emerging trends and shifts in our property market that will serve to hold up prices in the mid-long term.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll talk more about that later.<\/p>\n

First, let's dive into predicted house prices for each major city over the next 7 years to the end of 2030.<\/p>\n

\"Melbourne<\/p>\n

Predicted house prices in 2030 for Melbourne<\/span><\/h2>\n

As of February 2024, Melbourne\u2019s capital city dwellings averaged $777,250 \u2013 with a reported median price of $942,750 for houses and $608,101 for units.<\/p>\n

Looking back the Melbourne property market has been one of the strongest and most consistent performers over the last four decades.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/div>\n

Over the last 40 years Melbourne\u2019s median house prices have risen an average of 7.9% per year, and 7.73% for units over the 40-year period.<\/p>\n

So, assuming that we can expect the same growth for the remainder of the decade, that could put Melbourne\u2019s house prices<\/a> as high as around $1.6 million in 2030, and just over $1.1 million for Melbourne units.<\/p>\n

Obviously, this past price growth wasn't the same each and every year, as the Melbourne property market worked its way through the typical property cycles, so these figures are a very rough guide only based on historical annual increases.<\/p>\n

In fact, Melbourne didn't experience the strong property price growth other capitals enjoyed during the once-in-a-generation boom of 2020-21.<\/p>\n

Of course, being the most locked-down city in the world during Covid didn't help.<\/p>\n

Note: <\/span>However, Melbourne\u2019s strong population growth and some large infrastructure spending will underpin Melbourne\u2019s economic growth moving forward.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Victorian residents can look forward to these major infrastructure projects:<\/p>\n
