To purchase a house in Sydney, you’ll need around $1.3 million, and while the Sydney property market is still expected to be the most expensive, another capital city will see bigger growth this year, the experts have predicted.

Brisbane is forecast to have the biggest gains in terms of house price growth, according to new research from Finder.

The predicted 5 per cent increase to house prices in Brisbane would see costs increase another $37,021 on average by the end of the year.

In Sydney, the predicted 3 per cent increase would see costs increase by $46,895 on average.

Last year, the national housing market grew over 22 per cent, leading to the average house price across the nation surpassing $1 million for the first time.

However, Graham Cooke, head of consumer research at Finder, said record growth in property prices couldn’t continue forever.

“The house-price explosion of 2021 is coming to an end, but has not stopped. We expect to see more moderate, but still significant, price increases in 2022,” Cooke said.

“However, there’s double-trouble for prospective buyers. On top of bigger prices, expected cash rate increases will make borrowing more expensive.

“Once this happens, we can expect housing demand to gradually ease, and growth in property prices to stabilise.”
