How will the Melbourne market perform in 2022, free of lockdowns and with major new factors in play, including the opening of international borders?

I expect Melbourne to have a strong year in real estate in 2022.

Last year, Melbourne did well, despite being the most locked-down city in the world.

Despite all the restrictions, Melbourne produced strong price growth, particularly for houses.

Opening of international borders means that overseas migrants and foreign students can return – and this, I believe, will have a big impact on the Melbourne market in the near future.
