• Property Prices Hit New Highs – Is This the Start of Another Boom? With Dr. Nicola Powell

  Have you noticed how Australia’s property market seems to have roared back to life recently? After a sluggish 2024, Domain’s latest House Price Report shows all eight capital cities recorded house price growth in the June quarter – for the first time in four years. And it’s not just houses.
