ANZ Research predicts a 1.7% fall in Melbourne house prices for 2026, with Domain's FY27 forecast being more cautious, anticipating a 4-8% drop. Conversely, Melbourne units are projected to show greater resilience.

For buyers and sellers in Melbourne's western growth corridor, this outlook suggests a potentially challenging period for house values, but units could offer more stability. Investors might consider the relative strength of the unit market as a strategic option.
