House prices in Australia fell 0.5% in April, down 7.2% from a year ago, and 7.9% since the peak of September 2017. However, the drop rate has been falling since the transition to a monthly low. in December, when national housing values ​​fell by 1.1%, according to recent CoreLogic data.
"The improvement in the rate of decline is due to a slowdown in the market downturn in Sydney and Melbourne, where stocks fell much faster. Last December, the value of housing in Sydney was down -1.8%. With the pace from month to month, it gradually returned to -0.7% in April. Similarly, values ​​in Melbourne fell -1.5% in December as the rate of decline improved to -0.6% in April, "said Tim Lawless, head of research at CoreLogic.
The data also showed an increase in the activity of mortgage-related valuations, an improvement in the household finance data of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for the month of February. In addition, the auction liquidation rates are around 50% in the main auction markets. This real estate market information suggests a subtle improvement in housing market conditions.
"Although none of these indicators can be described as being strong, the current trend in data suggests that housing market conditions may have crossed the worst of the recession ", said Lawless.
Housing values ​​declined in all capitals, with the exception of Canberra in April. The regional regions of Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia have avoided a fall. "The general nature of the low value of housing highlights the fact that, even though the rate of decline has been mitigated, the geographic reach of low housing values ​​remains wide," CoreLogic said.
Notably, Hobart's values ​​declined 0.9% during the month, marking a weakening of what was one of the capital's most important markets for value gains. Canberra was the only capital city where housing values ​​increased during the month.
In capital cities, Sydney (-10.9%) and Melbourne (-10.0%) both record double-digit annual declines, followed by Perth (-8.3%) and Darwin (-7 , 1%). Hobart (+ 3.8%) and Canberra (+ 2.5%) recorded the largest gains, while Adelaide is the only other capital to remain in the dark over the last twelve months (+0 , 3%).
