The CoreLogic Home Value Index has once again crowned Sydney as the fastest-growing capital in Australia, with home values ??increasing 6.2% in the three months to December 2019
In the March 2020 ANZ / Property Council survey, buyers also showed increased confidence in NSW as market conditions improved and growth expectations increased. The performance of the real estate market in the second half of 2019 helped to facilitate this recovery, as did the ongoing infrastructure projects that support the local economy.
However, despite this remarkable return to form, Leanne Pilkington, president of the Real Estate Institute of NSW (REINSW), does not see Sydney setting new records soon, because buyers are always more careful.
"The price reversal was welcome, but we do not expect a return to peak growth in 2020. More than just supply constraints, there are wider economic uncertainties and prevailing burdens like stamp duty that will continue to weigh on the minds of people in deciding whether to upgrade, reduce, invest or not, "she explains.
"While demand is still outstripping supply and we will continue to see high customs clearance rates and rising prices, the increases will be gradual and different suburban markets will behave in different ways."
In the rental market, the results of the REINSW Vacancy Rate survey for December 2019 indicated that there had been an increase in rental supply in Sydney. In the inner suburbs, the average vacancy rate increased by one percent, from 2.4% to 3.4%.
REINSW CEO Tim McKibbin said of these market movements: "The increase in vacancies at Inner Sydney shows that tenants now have much more choice in many metropolitan areas."
The report further notes that vacancy rates have hovered around 3% as the stock of apartments arrives on the market and must come together among cautious investors.
"One can expect that the question of quality will remain at the forefront of buyers' concerns," says Pilkington. "In the wake of the Opal and Mascot Towers experiences, the question of siding and other quality reviews of new buildings, homeowners and investors should step up their due diligence processes. This means that the development community will have to work harder to reassure buyers. ยป
