Key points raised are:

• Talk of a property crash is likely to ramp up again with signs that the Sydney and Melbourne property markets are cooling.
• But the Australian property market is a lot more complicated than the crash calls suggest.
• We continue to expect a 5 to 10% downswing in Sydney and Melbourne property prices but a crash is unlikely and other capital cities will perform better.
• It remains a time for property investors to exercise caution and focus on higher yielding markets.
