“Not only are properties in Victoria now slightly more affordable, but buyers are simply spoilt for choice,” Mr Pullar said.
“Currently, there are a lot of properties on the market so buyers can afford to be more selective and specific when buying a property.”
But, according to Mr Pullar, property price growth is unlikely to stay flat for long.
