Canberra will not set fire to the national real estate market any time soon, but it should experience steady growth over the next few years.
President of the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA), Adrian Kelly, pointed out that Canberra is one of the capitals that should see moderate growth over the next decade, and according to ; CoreLogic's home value index for January 2020, Canberra was one of four capitals that saw housing values ??hit a new high recently, alongside Brisbane, Adelaide and Hobart. ยป
The median price of Canberra homes is expected to increase by 4% in 2020. If this happens, the median price of Canberra homes will be approximately $ 820,000 by the end of this year. " said field economist Trent Wiltshire.
"The rise in buyers' interests, illustrated by a rebound in mortgage loan commitments and an increase in the number of views per ad on Allhomes, will support price growth."
While the home market is doing well, there is less optimism for the units. CoreLogic's Pain and Gain report for September 2019 shows that units were about six times more likely to sell at a loss than homes, due to the abundance of new pipeline supplies.
"In recent years, there has been a relatively high level of newly built apartments in state capitals, particularly across Brisbane and ACT. This oversupply, which helps drive prices down and increase vacancies, has had an impact on returns from unit resellers, "said Eliza Owen, head of residential research at CoreLogic.
This increase in supply is expected to also affect the rental market, as an increase in inventory will translate into lower rents due to the holidays.
"There could be some downward pressure on rents, although rental growth has been fairly constant there for some time. Population growth is strong, but there is a lot of construction going on, and it looks like we're getting a lot of new apartments in 2020, "said Wiltshire.
Since the balance between supply and demand is a crucial factor in determining growth, unitary projects in progress could limit the increase in the value of housing. Affordability is another factor that could cause buyers to pause, as Canberra continues to record the third highest median housing price among capitals.
