Propell Valuers - 19 February 2015. We've got the February report for the Australian residential market. Here's a quick rundown of points to summarise:

It’s all about Sydney which looks to experience 10% growth in the next year.

Outside Sydney, the best markets remain Melbourne and Brisbane.

Investor demand, especially in Sydney, continues to grow and accounts for 41% of all loans.

Foreign investment will be undeterred by proposed new rules on FIRB compliance.

The fall in the exchange rate means that, for foreign buyers, Sydney prices in US$ terms are unchanged on last year and remain attractive, while the rest of the country has gotten cheaper in US$ terms.

Weekly rental levels are steady.

The perception of interest rates falling further has changed market dynamics, breathing new life in all markets.
