She pointed out that prices are still increasing, albeit at a slower than in the previous monetary. The cities of Perth and Adelaide are exceptions to this trend, with Adelaide halted, and Perth showing no indications of slowing down.

Powell stated this might even more strengthen Australia's real estate market, however might be balanced out by a decrease in real wages, as living expenses increase faster than earnings.
