The median unit value grew by 3.94 per cent; this compared to 6.41 per cent in the 12 months to November 2007.
Residex said it expected capital growth to remain subdued for the next five years, given the current economic climate.
It forecasts Australian houses and units to grow at an average rate of 2.96 and 1.49 per cent respectively per annum over the next five years.
