Well Home Loans CEO Scott Spencer said the report identified a diverse range of promising housing markets around the country.
"The top 20 list includes 14 metro locations and six regional locations scattered around all eight states and territories," Mr Spencer said.
"Of the 20 locations, 12 are unit markets and eight house markets, catering to a variety of budgets.
"That shows, no matter where you live, there might be a nearby housing market where prices look set to accelerate in the not-too-distant future."
Mr Spencer said that the report doesn't just consider past factors.
"This one analyses key leading indicators so buyers can understand which markets are likely to show strong price growth in the medium-term," he said.
The 20 suburbs chosen showed the strongest combination of three main factors over the last three months:
- Inventory levels decreasing
- Days on the market decreasing
- Asking prices increasing
"Inventory levels is a really important leading indicator, because it tells you whether the balance between supply and demand is trending in favour of vendors or buyers," Mr Spencer said.
"That's one clue as to how prices are likely to move in the months and years ahead.
"When you look closely at changes in days on market, you also get an indication what what might happen to prices in the future.
"When days on market are trending down, it tells you buyers are being forced to fight harder for properties, which puts upward pressure on prices.
"When vendors feel the market turning in their favour, they start increasing their asking prices."
Mr Spencer also said buyers shouldn't look soley at the lender's report when deciding where to buy or the timing of their purchase, and to seek professional advice.
