Sydney may have been the first of the two cities to regain the upper hand in 2019, but Melbourne could start the New Year as the best performing capital market.
According to the CoreLogic Home Value Index for October 2019, Melbourne recorded its largest month-over-month increase since November 2009, as house prices increased by 2.3% between September and October.
"The housing market rebound is accelerating, both geographically and in large valuation cohorts, thanks to lower mortgage rates and better access to credit, as well as improved affordability from the peak of the market several years ago and still high demand through population growth, "said Tim Lawless, director of research at CoreLogic.
"The demand for housing responds to stimulus measures, including mortgage rates which are now lower than anything we've seen since the 1950s and to improved mortgage service tests following the decision of the "APRA to adjust the minimum service rules on the interest rate in July 2019."
Melbourne has certainly supported demand due to population growth, its stable economy and its labor market, which has helped cushion the city by its decline. Now that this period is over, the suburb of downtown Melbourne has rebounded, posting the highest growth levels of any sub-region of the capital.
As housing values ??rise again, those who want to own a home can turn to the unit market for affordable options. The People's Choice Credit Union has identified a number of suburbs in its People's Choice of Housing report that represent the most affordable and enjoyable housing markets. Pockets like Hawthorn East, Murrumbeena, Surrey Hills and Glen Iris tops the list due to their convenient location near cities, job availability, low crime rates and accessibility by public transportation .
The limited supply is expected to maintain strong demand, particularly in the rental market. According to OpenCorp director Matthew Lewison, "Melbourne has a lower vacancy rate and therefore there is likely to be evidence of a shortage before Sydney."
Nevertheless, the size compressors that were waiting for Melbourne to revive could play a role in slowing its growth. Lewison notes.
"Suburbs with a high proportion of baby boomers are likely to experience higher property turnover, as a whole generation of homeowners are looking to collect their properties by more than a million dollars to downsize."
