20 suburbs expected to defy property downturn
The Aussie property market is seeing prices fall, but these suburbs are expected to buck the trend.
Despite a property downturn throughout much of Australia, not all suburbs are expected to see prices fall.
New research commissioned by Well Money detected 20 locations where price rises were imminent.
The quarterly Well Money Green Shoots Report has identified the top 20 suburbs in Australia currently showing the clearest signs meaningful price growth is just around the corner.

The suburbs chosen showed the strongest combination of inventory levels decreasing over the past three months and days on market decreasing over the past three months – and, if possible, asking prices increasing over the past three months as well.
For the January quarter, the Well Money Green Shoots Report included 10 metro and 10 regional locations, as well as five house and 15 unit markets.
Well Money CEO Scott Spencer said there were notably fewer suburbs showing signs of imminent price growth in the January 2023 quarter than the October 2022 quarter.
“Property markets are cooling throughout Australia so, right now, it’s much easier to find locations where prices are likely to fall than rise,” he said.
“That said, there are some markets in which the data is pointing in the opposite direction – towards near-term price rises.”
