CBA Forecasts Steep National Housing Value Drop in Australian Capitals
What happened
CBA economists released an update forecasting that national dwelling values could fall around 14% from their March peak. The average for the five capital cities is projected to bottom out about 15% below its high. The bank noted the correction has been faster and broader than expected, with Brisbane and Perth receiving the largest revisions to their outlooks.

Why it matters
The projected decline would be the steepest in 45 years of CBA's monthly price series. While CBA expects prices to stabilize in the second half of 2027, driven by factors like higher rental yields and supply shortages, the bank does not anticipate a meaningful rebound.
