" Prices are still increasing but not as quick as what we saw in the past fiscal year," she said.
Perth and Adelaide are the exceptions. "Adelaide has actually been like a steam train-- you can't stop it," she stated. "And Perth simply hasn't slowed down."
Homes are also set to end up being more pricey in the coming 12 months, with units in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, the Gold Coast and the Sunlight Coast to strike new record costs.
