Property group announces, the reason being global bank interest rate hike, which forces the customers to shun away from investing in real estate. It is expected that the unit price could slash to a massive ten percent by the coming year, which is the major cause for fall in Australian property value.

Australian Property Monitors (APM) surveys that the house prices have fallen in Brisbane and other four major cities in Australia in the previous months causing the worst ever market fall in the last four years.

Already, real estate dealers have less construction work and most of them have put a halt to their dream of buying a property. In Queensland alone a fall of 7.3% was experienced during the month of June, proving that Brisbane house prices would fall by 5%
