The weakest market in the country is expected to begin to stabilize, with growth prospects on the horizon
The Top End still displays one of the worst performances in the country, although real estate prices are expected to grow slightly over the next year.
"I predict that Darwin's market will be a little smoother. I think NT has enough capacity to engage in a positive growth environment, "said Brendan Kelly, Results's Mentorship Manager.
"I think we will see more growth and less decline, enough for growth to grow at less than 10% in 12 months."
CoreLogic data indicate that while prices in Darwin were still down in June 2019, New Brunswick's regional pockets went black, with housing values ​​increasing 0.2% in the month of June. This area was one of three markets to show positive growth over this period, alongside the regional AS and Hobart.
In terms of rent growth, rents fell by 0.3% in Darwin compared to June; However, the city remains among the most profitable in the country, with an average rental yield of 6.02%, which is significantly higher than that of Hobart, which ranked second with 5.25%.
CoreLogic's Quarterly Rent Review for June 2019 indicates that, while investors traditionally seek properties with capital growth potential, investing in cash flow from rental yield is an attractive prospect given currently low interest rate of this city. As rental market movements exceed the rate of change in property values, rental yields should remain stable over the coming months.
As Darwin gets closer to the bottom of the market, now may be a good time for first-time buyers to buy a slice of the pie as prices become more reasonable and refinancers struggle to justify their investments, said the month of Herron Todd White in review for July 2019.
Different types of properties across the NT offer excellent value for less than $ 500,000, and the state government has given great incentives to first-time homebuyers.
For example, first owners who buy or build a new home can apply for a grant of $ 20,000 (limited to the first 600 applications), while a stamp duty discount of up to 18 $ 1,000 is available for homes worth up to $ 650,000.
