Real estate prices in Hobart fell again between September and September 2019, as the capital failed to reclaim the distinction of being the largest capital market in Sydney. performance. This continues a trend seen in recent months since Sydney and Melbourne began to recover from the recession.
Tenants also struggle to find rentals in Hobart, as city vacancy rates are currently so tight, and rents have increased dramatically to even exceed that of Melbourne, making Hobart the third most expensive capital to rent after Sydney and Canberra. CoreLogic's quarterly rent review for September 2019 indicates that the median rent in Hobart reached $ 464 per week.
Nevertheless, for General Manager of Propertyology Simon Pressley, Hobart could still be in the game, given this state's strong and diverse economy.
"Tasmania's remarkable economic recovery has become the engine that has – officially – produced Australia's best performing real estate market in the past five years," he explains.
"Given the dramatic growth in prices and rents, we would not have been surprised if his growth cycle had ended now. However, several measures suggest that he could now find a second wind . "
These measures include the fact that Hobart continues to be at the top of the capital's rankings in terms of job vacancies, vacancies, increasing levels of migration and development initiatives economic. The fact that Hobart remains one of the most affordable markets for buyers despite its growth in recent years certainly does no harm.
Hobart is still the only capital where you can buy a detached house within 10 km of the CBD for less than $ 450,000. In addition, the annual cost of ownership is close to zero, ”said Pressley.
It also indicates that Launceston is a market which has performed strongly in the background for several years.
"The median price of Launceston homes has increased an average of 7.4% a year over the 20 years ending in June 2019. Whether 20 years ago or today, many do not can't afford to buy a house in Sydney; but back then or now, you could buy three houses in Launceston for the price of one in Sydney. It is an attractive measure for any property buyer, "he says.
