The property prices (including residential properties) in Australia has hit a peak in 2017 and started to decline ever since. As of January 2019, in Sydney, housing prices were 13 per cent lower than their July 2017 peak.

What policies would you recommend going forward, and what are thepotential drawbacks of these policies? (You can assume that property prices will continue to decline for the next 2-3 years.)
