She pointed out that prices are still increasing, albeit at a slower than in the previous financial. The cities of Perth and Adelaide are exceptions to this pattern, with Adelaide halted, and Perth showing no indications of decreasing.

However regional areas near cities would stay attractive locations for those who have been evaluated of the city and would continue to see an increase of need, she added.
