Sydney and Melbourne (2 largest property markets), investors' main focus for the past years
Both cities ranked most expensive cities in housing affordability in 2018 despite significant decline in prices since 2017 peak
Reports indicate Melbourne beats Sydney in prices by about 30% cheaper for properties 30km from CBD and 40% cheaper for properties within 15-20km from CBD

Investors seeking long term capital appreciation can consider exploring Melbourne’s downtown properties before prices begin to rebound
There is also a rising trend of locals moving to cheaper major cities, particularly to Perth
Recovery sign of Perth’s mining economy, rising population growth (forecast from 0.9% in 2018 to 1.5% in 2020) indicates increasing demand for housing, both buying and renting segments
Market forecasts Perth property prices are starting to bottom out since 2014 peak. Investors looking for rental yield can consider entering into the market to tap on its price affordability
