The annual fall in prices in Melbourne has reached a double-digit rate, while regional markets are delighted by the wave effect
Rates of decline may be down in the domestic market, but Melbourne has not yet finished its downfall. According to the CoreLogic report on the April 2019 house value index, capital has experienced an annual decline rate of 10%. This decline is particularly evident in the more expensive parts of the city, which experienced the highest rate of annual decline, at 13.7%, of all capitals.
Nevertheless, the news of Melbourne is not all bad. Although high prices have paralyzed parts of the market, affordability has given other countries much more visibility than before.
CoreLogic's report noted that the lower quartile in Melbourne was performing better, with at least part of the increase coming from at least the first homebuyers who were beginning to carve out a larger share of the market. The search for cheaper properties has allowed these buyers to negotiate loans more efficiently.
Regional markets continue to be the main winners of this season of negativity as parts of the Victoria region can withstand the downward trend observed throughout the country in April 2019.
"Regions such as Ballarat, Greater Bendigo and Greater Geelong experienced growth following the rise of Melbourne, with demand still high, translating into vacancy rates of 1.13%, 0.93% and 0.84%, "says Clint Greaves, director of Real Estate Investar.
"We have seen vacancy rates in Victoria of 1.09%, Melbourne at 2.52%."
The struggle should not last
Regional markets are flourishing, but Melbourne remains on track to regain its former glory, with ongoing infrastructure projects and a growing population.
"New South Wales and Victoria have both experienced long periods of under-supply and, despite the housing records begun in recent years, we expect these markets to both remain under-supplied. over the next four years, "predicts Geof Snell, senior real estate economist at BIS Oxford Economics.
"In Victoria, in particular, where population growth is very strong, it will be necessary to maintain significant additional housing over the next five years in order to avoid the reappearance of a sharp increase in under-supply once the slowdown will be felt. "
Modernization of the road and rail network is planned in the subway, which should create jobs.
