“In late 2017 and early 2018 it was looking as if the falls were coming to an end,” CoreLogic was stated as warning on Thursday.

“However, the market has weakened further in line with weaker labour market and economic conditions as well as tighter credit conditions.”

As a whole, Australia is in the midst of a steep housing downtrend with prices falling 6.8% on average nationwide. Darwin, the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory, has been hit the worst with a 27% price drop since May 2014.
