“The median price in Melbourne was $819,000 … and the median price in Brisbane was not much below that”.
Mr Jones discussed the current state of the housing market with the Managing Director of Ray White Real Estate Dan White who said, “buyers are active in the market (as) they’ve got the opinion now is the time still to invest in Australian real estate”.
“And they’re doing that”.
