However, a local buyerโ€™s agent warns that waiting for further falls could cost buyers the right home.

Peter Gavalas, buyerโ€™s agent at Perth-based Resolve Property Solutions, said he was seeing two groups of buyers hold back. Some were waiting to buy at the bottom, while others had relaxed because they assumed competition had eased. In his view, โ€œboth can end with you missing the right propertyโ€.

Location has always mattered in property โ€“ but "good location" doesn't necessarily mean "closest to the C*D".

New analysis from Ray White chief economist Nerida Conisbee looked at house price growth in selected regional markets near five capital cities over the 10 years to March 2026.

Some of those markets substantially outperformed their neighbouring capitals.

For instance, around Melbourne, selected regional markets increased by about 86%, compared with 42% in Melbourne.

Around Perth, the comparison was about 133% versus 103%.

The figures highlight how property performance can be shaped by much more than distance from a city centre.

Affordability, infrastructure, employment, population growth and lifestyle can all influence where buyer demand โ€“ and price growth โ€“ ultimately ends up.

The nationally representative survey, conducted by comparison and research platform OurTop10, tested four superannuation-for-housing proposals linked to the Liberal Party and One Nation. All four attracted majority support.

Australiaโ€™s rental vacancy rate held steady at 1.3% in August, according to SQM Research.

There were 41,039 vacant rental properties nationally โ€“ around 3,300 more than a year earlier, when the vacancy rate was 1.2%.

Conditions vary considerably between capital cities:

* Canberra = 2.1%
* Melbourne = 1.8%
* Sydney = 1.7%
* Brisbane = 0.9%
* Adelaide = 0.6%
* Hobart = 0.6%
* Perth = 0.6%
* Darwin = 0.4%

Sydney and Canberra are showing the clearest signs of easing, with vacancies up 26% and 29% respectively over the year. Meanwhile, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Darwin all have fewer vacant properties than they did last August.

So while rental conditions are gradually becoming less tight in some parts of Australia, supply remains constrained in others. For property investors, itโ€™s another reminder that there is no single Australian rental market โ€“ local supply and demand conditions can vary considerably.

When forced to choose between capping immigration and boosting housing supply, respondents favoured migration cuts by 71% to 29%, according to research conducted by Primara Research for HomeLoanRates.com.au. Separately, 64% said the current migration intake was "too high," against just 4% who considered it too low.

Grace Kim, ABS head of national accounts, said the underlying picture was softer than the headline figure suggests.

The finding lands during Scams Awareness Week alongside fresh warnings from ANZ and NAB pointing to more sophisticated, AI-driven tactics, and a sharp rise in losses tied to retirement savings.

Two lenders lifted four owner-occupier and investor variable rates by an average of 0.15%, while three lenders went the other way, cutting five variable rates by the same average margin.

The Australian Finance Industry Association, Housing Industry Association, Property Council of Australia, Real Estate Institute of Australia, Self-managed Super Fund Association, and Urban Development Institute of Australia issued a joint statement this week after SMSFs became unable to enter additional Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements to finance residential property. The coalition argues the change should be paused, at minimum for newly built housing, until Treasury independently assesses and publishes the ban's impact on housing supply.
