Welcome to Inner Circle for October. As south east Australia warms up ahead of summer, let’s take a look at what is happening in the real estate world and what it means for you.
Market News. After being led by the upper quartile most of last year, the strongest growth conditions have migrated to the lower quartile in Melbourne, Sydney and most capital cities. Across all capital cities, lower quartile home values increased 3.1% in the first quarter of this year compared with a 0.7% rise across the upper quartile. We’re also starting to see some rebound in regional city prices. Geelong’s middle and upper price levels in particular are showing some strong results this autumn.

Market News. It has been a typically uneventful summer for real estate with market figures showing not much change. The average Melbourne home now costs $777,250 after a rise of 3.9% over the last year.

Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart remain in the slow lane for now.

From Property Mavens perspective, that makes Melbourne a red-hot favourite to lead growth in 2024, especially towards the end of the year. With inflation already down to its level of 2021, investors are betting interest rates are likely to fall in the second half of the year and are coming back into the market in force.
Market News. Over the last 12 months, Sydney recorded growth of 8.7%, Melbourne 2.8% while Perth was the standout with growth of 21.1%. Across Australia, the lower value range of the market is recording stronger growth than the top quartile. Regional city prices are now growing with centres like Albury-Wodonga, Geelong and Ballarat performing well.
