New research by CoreLogic also suggests that Melbourne’s property market is on track to make a full recovery from the downturn and reach record high prices by the start of next year.
According to Tim Lawless, Head of Research at CoreLogic, ‘values only have to rise a further 5.8 per cent before staging a recovery’.
