Don't' shoot the messenger with the headline but the Economist publication has said Australia is the world's most overvalued housing market.

Perhaps the most glaring example of the possible volatility ahead is the Sunshine Coast where market values have dropped by over 20% over the past 36 months.

Despite the negative sentiment, CBD property in key cities such as Sydney and Melbourne remains on a journey upstream and values rising.
