News
Land supply in our major cities is struggling to keep up with demand, as lots get smaller and prices go higher. Canberra and Hobart have the lowest vacancies and lead on rent rises. Sydney and Melbourne have also seen house rents grow. A new survey reveals that investors are shrugging off negative media coverage and remain optimistic about real estate prospects. Media continues to claim Sydney house prices are growing at an annual rate close to 20%, but other major research sources agree that the growth rate is only 3-4%. The chief executives of three of the major banks agree that, while prices are high in Sydney and Melbourne, they are not over-inflated. It's becoming increasingly clear that further cuts to the official interest rate are unlikely, while many commentators are tipping out-of-cycle mortgage rate rises from the banks. Can you believe the price growth data published in media? Comparing figures from different sources suggests that the market is awash with rubbery figures. Property professionals expect a positive year in 2017, despite concerns about lending restrictions and rising interest rates. PM Malcolm Turnbull has ruled out any changes to capital gains tax as it applies to residential property. There are many instances where price growth numbers from one source differ from another firm's figures. Investors need to be careful about how they treat real estate statistics.
