Property prices 'will grow solidly over the next three years'

The price of property in Australia will grow solidly over the next two or three years, BIS Shrapnel has claimed.

Property prices will experience a solid growth over the next two or three years, industry research company BIS Shrapnel has claimed.

Rob Mellor, the company's managing director, told API Magazine that the markets in Sydney, Perth and Adelaide are predicted to perform the best.

He explained that prices are likely to increase by around 20 per cent by 2013, whereas values in other cities will also grow, but at a more modest rate.

Speaking of recent events in the Australian property market, Mr Mellor said: "Price growth slowed over the past six months, which are not conditions of a price bubble."

He even went on to label claims of such a bubble as "foolish" and reiterated that the outlook for the property market is improving.

Last month, the Reserve Bank of Australia also rubbished claims of a housing bubble in a research paper titled Asset Prices, Credit Growth, Monetary and Other Policies: An Australian Case Study.
