Sydney is still the country's premier luxury market and one of the world's top performers for high-end real estate, despite falling prices, according to news.com.au.
Knight Frank's 2019 wealth report revealed that Sydney ranked 30th in the world. Brisbane arrived at number 31, followed by Melbourne at 41 and Perth and the Gold Coast (42nd).
The value of the 100 luxury residential markets followed by the Knight Frank Prime International Residential Index (PIRI 100) increased on average by 1.3% last year, down from 2, 1% in 2017 – and the annual growth rate of the index is the lowest since 2012
According to Michelle Ciesielski, head of residential research at Knight Frank, this decline in price growth is a consequence of the change in monetary policy (far from extremely low interest rates).
The Australian high-end market exceeded the global average for luxury residential price growth over the 12-month period ending in December.
Sydney leads the Australian cities with growth of 3.1%. Next are Brisbane (3%), Melbourne (2.2%), Perth (2.1%) and the Gold Coast (2.1%).
"Price growth between major world markets is converging – and Australia is no exception. The 2018 performance allowed the five major Australian cities to be in Knight Frank's top 50 Knight Frank PIRI 100 – all five cities less than one percentage point – while three years ago was closer to 19 percentage points, "said Ciesielski.
Manila is the most successful country in the world because of the strengthening of the Philippine economy and lack of supplies. Edinburgh, Berlin and Munich were also at the top of the list.
In a separate poll called The Wealth Report Attitude Survey, Australia ranked third, behind the United States and the United Kingdom, among the most popular countries for those looking to buy a property residential choice in 2019.
