As stocks fall again, the pace of the downturn slows down, which means that all is not lost for investors in Sydney
House prices continue to fall, but there is reason to believe that this will not last long.
According to the CoreLogic Real Estate Value Index for May 2019, real estate prices across the country fell by 0.4% over this period. This is the smallest monthly decline since 12 months and reflects the slowdown in the decline seen since the beginning of the year.
"This improvement is mainly due to slower declines in Sydney and Melbourne, where housing values ​​previously fell at the highest rate of any capital city. Sydney's stocks were down 0.5% in the month – the smallest decline in value since last March, "said Tim Lawless, Research Manager at CoreLogic.
He notes that the recovery is also evident in the Sydney auction market.
"Although clearance rates remain low compared to several years ago, while the housing market conditions were much more favorable, the improved auction performance is in line with the slowing down the decline, "says Lawless.
The effect of training has been observed throughout the state, while outside Sydney, some regional markets are feeling negativity. CoreLogic's quarterly regional market update in March 2019 indicated that Illawarra recorded the largest annual decline in home values ​​at 10.1%. Newcastle had the largest annual decline in unit prices, just above the Macquarie Lake decline of 9.4%.
Rental in Newcastle and Macquarie Lake also became more expensive than a year ago. For this reason, Port Macquarie is becoming a good option for investors looking for a strong return, especially since it is more affordable for small budgets.
"One of Port Macquarie's growth drivers has always been the affordability of housing. It has generally been between 50 and 60% of Sydney's price – especially for retirees, they can sell in Sydney and settle here. Along the way, they will benefit from a good dividend to improve their lifestyle, "said Paul Adams of Adams Marketing, behind the development of a national rental guarantee system affordable in the area.
"The university sector has recently created a footprint, which means families can settle in the area. If their children do not want to or can not afford to go to university, there is an academic presence here. "
SUBURB OF WATCH
KENDALL: Excellent value for the tenants
A beautiful riverside suburb in the Port Macquarie area, Kendall is known as the Poets Village, named after the local poet Henry Kendall.
The suburbs experienced a strong double-digit growth wave between May 2014 and 2016. However, at just $ 450,000, the median home price attracts shoppers looking for affordable housing. And as the seat of an NRAS project, eligible tenants can also find housing at very reasonable prices. The growing presence of universities also attracts students and retirees benefit from the favorable temperate climate.
Kendall's accessibility has improved over the years as highways facilitate travel from Sydney.
