CIV extract from the June 2019 market report

Things are bad in the subway, but regional cities around the capital show signs of strength

Melbourne's rate of decline may soon be double-digit, as the recession does not seem to be easing.

"If the Melbourne slowdown continues at a similar pace, we are likely to expect a double-digit decline in the annual decline in the coming months, with values ​​currently down 9.1% year-over-year. Says Tim, research director at CoreLogic. Lawless in the CoreLogic Hedonic House Value Index Report for March 2019.

"The February housing market results showed a slight improvement in the rate of decline, but the housing market downturn is now more widespread geographically and we see no indicator that the market has bottomed out. "

However, Melbourne's goal is sustained population growth, which continues to create demand, particularly among interstate migrants. In particular, major cities around the capital arouse great interest because of their convenience, affordability, public transportation and pleasant atmosphere.

"It is possible that some regional areas offer an affordable loophole compared to capital markets that have recently experienced strong price growth," says Geof Snell, BIS Oxford Economics' Senior Real Estate Economist.

As a result, these areas are among the best-performing regional districts in the country – unlike Sydney, where regional pockets like Newcastle and Illawarra are in trouble.

Reduced supply keeps Melbourne in the ground

As demand is largely on track, the supply has been low enough that buyers, especially homeowners, remain in competition.

"As investors pull out of the market, the best price performance should be one of markets where homeowners have greater influence," Snell said.

"Both NSW and Victoria have experienced long periods of under-supply, and despite housing starts begun in recent years, we expect these markets to both remain under-supplied over the next four years. years. "

To balance existing and expected demand, Victoria must continue to market new homes on the market.

Meanwhile, although the Melbourne market is expected to decline again during this economic downturn, the supply and demand situation may continue to prevent it from regressing too much. deeply.
