Perth spent most of its marketplaces in 2019 with Darwin at the bottom of the national residential market, but even if it remained the second weakest capital, CoreLogic's home value index for November 2019 had good news for WA. The value of housing actually increased by 0.4% over the period from October to November. This is the first monthly increase since the first half of 2018.
This could be partly attributed to the demand that is spreading in small towns due to the slowdown in job growth and unemployment in larger states like NSW and Victoria, says CoreLogic.
The lack of affordability of housing in power capitals has also resulted in an upward trend in migration to Queensland and less movement out of SA and WA.
"With the current low interest rates and population growth in Perth, which are slowly but steadily improving, the median price of Perth homes could improve in the next 12 months Says Damian Collins, president of the Real Estate Institute of WA.
Although 2019 was not a record year for Perth when sales activity rocked, Collins notes that rental activity has improved.
"We are already seeing competition for good quality stocks, which means we can expect it to pick up in early [2020] and continue to gain momentum," says- he.
The slowdown in the housing supply on the market has largely contributed to the good rental performance of Perth.
“We are 32 months old and have stable median rental prices in Perth. If registrations continue to decrease, the stock of new construction continues to decrease and rental volumes remain healthy, we should see the overall median rent increase gradually, ”predicts Collins.
[Perth9002] “Perth currently has the lowest median value of all the major capitals. This, combined with the tightening of rental conditions and the possibility of entering good suburbs at an affordable price means that investors are likely to re-enter the market. "
Beyond the metro, the regional AO should also benefit from a new investment thanks to a renewed investment in the mining industry.
"Karratha, Port Hedland and Kalgoorlie are areas to watch in 2020, with new mining projects helping to restore confidence in these regions," concludes Collins.
SUBURB TO WATCH
KELMSCOTT: Suburb of Perth in sharp decline
The suburb of Kelmscott is divided into two halves by the Albany Highway. It has been popular with residents due to the proximity to a school, market, hospital and safe parks. Public transportation is also convenient here, and the suburbs have a quiet atmosphere.
However, the downward dynamics of Perth very seriously affected this area, with values ??down 30% in both houses and units during the five years ending in November 2019. Median prices in both markets hover around $ 200,000. This means that they are quite affordable. Returns are also solid, particularly in the housing market, which offers an average rental yield of 6.4%.
Accessibility: The suburb is on the Albany Highway, and there are public transportation options available
Affordability: At low median prices in the range of $ 200,000, homes and units are fairly affordable
