Property prices across every Australian capital city are forecast to grow in 2027.
So why are so many property headlines still telling a negative story?
Quite simply, Australia still needs more homes than we are building.
Higher rates and affordability pressure are affecting the pace of the market right now. But zoom out and the broader picture becomes clearer.
Population growth remains firm. Rental vacancy rates are exceptionally low. New housing supply is still falling short of demand.
Those are the fundamentals underpinning KPMG’s forecast. They also explain why informed buyers do not react to headlines in isolation.
They put the noise into context.
They look for where the underlying signals are strongest.
Then they focus on the opportunities that fit their position.
So how can you do the same if you are hoping to own a home, move beyond renting or build long term wealth through property?
Start by understanding what your position can actually reach.
That means getting clear on your finance first, then looking at the locations and properties that align with your circumstances and goals.
