Perth and Adelaide are the exceptions. "Adelaide has resembled a steam train-- you can't stop it," she said. "And Perth just hasn't decreased."
Homes are also set to end up being more expensive in the coming 12 months, with units in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, the Gold Coast and the Sunlight Coast to hit brand-new record rates.
