Domain Group’s "State of the Market" report forecasts that residential property prices in Australia’s capital cities will rise by 2-5 per cent in 2016. House prices are tipped to rise by four per cent in Sydney and five per cent in Melbourne, following growth of around 20 per cent and 12 per cent respectively in 2015. Senior economist Andrew Wilson expects renewed interest among property investors in 2016, citing factors such as negative gearing and the high yield relative to other investment options.
