Western countries (such as OP's, and mine) have been counter-acting lowering birth rates with higher immigration rates. It's become a political issue in Australia now with a housing and a cost of living-crisis, in times of record-level immigration [1]. It doesn't look like OP accounts much for that.
Yes, overall birth rates might be going down, but that doesn't mean that there will be fewer people where OP lives. Chances are the rest of the world wants to live where OP lives. I don't see Australian house prices going down any time soon, and I don't see these trends reverse in my lifetime. And I'm not even that old!
