BIS Shrapnel’s Residential Property Prospects, 2007 to 2010 Report has shown that Australia’s eastern states are leading the housing recovery, as experts predict an upward climb of property prices over the next three years.

Angie Zigomanis, BIS Shrapnel senior project manager and the report’s author, said that the “high growth in employment is improving household confidence towards investment in residential property.”

Forecasting the median house prices of key cities, the report explored the price growth, economic conditions and property market performance of each state and territory up to 2010.
