Hot Sydney takes a breather, with house prices in decline: HTW December 2017 property clock
Staff ReporterDecember 4, 2017

None of the capital cities are at the peak of the housing market cycle, according to property valuation firm Herron Todd White’s December Month in Review.

“2017 was the year some of our hottest markets decided it was time to take a breather,” according to HTW’s report.

Sydney remains at the start of decline on the property clock, like November. Same for Melbourne, which remains at approaching the peak of market position.

Brisbane has risen one notch from start of recovery and joins the other capital cites of Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra at the rising market position.

Meanwhile, Perth has slipped one notch to reach the bottom of market cycle, joining Darwin, which is the only other capital city at the bottom.
