When Does the Overheated Real Estate Market of Australia Reach Equilibrium?

Last year, the real estate bust hit Australia. Prices have declined 8.27% since they peaked in the last quarter of 2017. But the decline is still a shade below a 10% correction and has not yet reached bear market proportions of a decline of 20% or more.



House prices could still fall by 38.56% to reach their inflation-adjusted levels. In relation to incomes, the ratio of real house prices to real personal disposable incomes have fallen significantly. That ratio is now within two standard deviations from the historical mean. In other words, they are now just overvalued and not extremely overvalued.  The probability of house prices being any higher is now a healthier 5.22% instead of 1.4% the last time we looked.



If the ratio does revert to the mean, house prices could still fall by 30.67% in real terms.
