Summary
House prices are falling—but not where most first-time buyers live. The drops are concentrated in Sydney and Melbourne’s luxury markets, while lower-end areas remain stable or even rose slightly. Negative equity is a real concern, especially for those who bought at the peak with small deposits, but most homeowners with jobs and low mortgage stress can weather the dip. Experts warn long-term pressures like tax changes could still impact prices, but for now, new buyers are in safer territory than feared.
