Leading economists are predicting a further 10% fall in average national home values over the next six to nine months. This downturn, driven by higher borrowing costs and tax changes, could be the most significant since WWII.

This outlook suggests continued caution for buyers and sellers in Melbourne's western growth corridor. Investors with long-term strategies might identify opportunities, but short-term gains could be challenging amidst ongoing price adjustments.
