Dr. Nicola Powell, the primary economist at Domain, kept in mind that the expected development rates are relatively moderate in a lot of cities compared to previous strong upward trends. She discussed 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 slowing down.
