CoreLogic’s head of research, Tim Lawless, said the return of the “fear of missing out” was helping to push prices higher.
“We see more urgency coming back into the market, especially in Melbourne and Sydney, where housing values have risen 6 per cent and 5.3 per cent since May. If this trend continues, we could see property prices reach new highs early next year,” Mr Lawless said.
