Melbourne will be 6.2 per cent and will slow in 2016 to 3.5 per cent and Brisbane is tipped to grow by 3 per cent for the 2015 calendar year.

NAB chief economist Alan Oster said he had expected the Brisbane market to fire before now, but it was continuing at a “slow and steady pace”.
He said Brisbane homeowners should see increases of 5 per cent by 2016.
“Brisbane we are more optimistic into 2016, because that market seems to be gathering momentum and also this is one area where the experts voted that was the market they thought would grow the fastest in 2016,” he said.
“We have got that at about the same pace as Sydney (in 2016).
Mr Oster said the predicted growth in Brisbane had not taken off yet, but 2016 should see the same level of growth as this year, plus gradually improving a little bit.
By 2016 Mr Oster says price growth nationally will be at lower levels, around 3. 8 per cent.
This will be a result of rising unemployment, low household income growth and cost of living pressures.
He says the one thing that could derail their predictions was the banking regulator the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority but doubts it will have any major impact on the market.
