Tweet of the day: Cameron Kusher on slowing capital city growth

It may have seemed as though property prices were riding a rollercoaster in the past 15 years, but the ride appears to be slowing down.

CoreLogic RP Data's Cameron Kusher tweeted out a series of charts today illustrating the last 15 years' price growth, broken into five year periods.

The charts show slower growth in the past five years than the five previous in all capital cities but Sydney.

They also illustrate the volatility of some markets, such as Darwin, which recorded 101.3% price growth in the five years to December 2009, with just 4.5% price growth in the past five years.
