The current overhaul of the migration system could cause a drop in need for local property, with the intro of a new stream of competent visas to eliminate the incentive for migrants to live in a regional area for two to three years on getting in the nation.
This will suggest that "an even higher percentage of migrants will flock to cities looking for better job prospects, thus moistening need in the local sectors", Powell stated.

According to her, removed regions adjacent to metropolitan centers would retain their appeal for individuals who can no longer manage to reside in the city, and would likely experience a rise in popularity as a result.
