Opportunities for Australian homebuyers

Now many Australian homebuyers have opportunities to save for their new homes over the years

---

After Australia’s property market spans two years of uneven momentum, we are now seeing a major rebalancing that brings new opportunities for buyers.

Latest data suggest that the hottest markets are starting to lose momentum because affordability limits bite, and as the value of the quote becomes clearer and more attractive, weaker markets begin to strengthen, lower interest rates can allow more buyers to get financing and enter the market.

Price growth has been adjusted in the hottest markets (Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia) over the past two years.

Buyers in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth are still active, but the competition is not that fierce. Price growth remains positive, but is slowing.

House values ​​in these cities have increased by 1.6%, 1.3%, and 1.6% respectively over the past three months, compared with 3.9%, 4.3% and 6.1% in the same three months last year.

The regional areas of Queensland and Western Australia followed suit. Strong markets experienced double-digit annual price growth, such as McKay, Gladstone, Townsville and Toowoomba in Queensland, and Geralton and Bombury in Western Australia, and Geralton and Bombury in Western Australia began to show moderate signs as buyers hit affordability restrictions.

Slower price growth means FOMO (fear of missing out) will disappear, and buyers will sell at auctions or ensure a higher position in real estate if there is no strong bidding pressure.

Buyers have a better chance to resemble the growth of their savings to their home values, so when they find the right home, they have enough savings.

They will also have a greater chance of keeping their savings growing at a similar rate to the value of their households, so they have enough savings when they find the right home.

On the other end, prices have started to rise again in markets that have lagged behind in the past two years, namely Victoria and Tasmania. House values ​​in Melbourne and Hobart have increased by 1.2 per cent and 0.9 per cent respectively over the past three months, while Melbourne has declined by 0.2 per cent, compared with 0.3 per cent gains in Hobart a year ago.

Regional towns in Victoria are following this trend, too. House values ​​in Geelong, Ballarat and Vonanpur have fallen over the past year but are now flattening or slightly rising – usually the first sign of the bottom market. In Tasmania, markets such as Launceston and Devonport have seen little price growth over the past year and offer today’s value purchases.

These opportunities for buyers in the market are to buy homes or invest in properties early in the new growth cycle to harvest as much upside potential as possible. Over the past year, NSW and the bill have sat in the middle of the national market. In 12 months, home values ​​in Sydney have only increased by 1.1 per cent, 3.3 per cent in the NSW region has risen by 3.3 per cent and Canberra has fallen by 0.7 per cent.

Whether you are looking for value in a popular market in the past or planning to buy at the price of a stable purchase, now is a good time to take action – before expected slowdowns may later accelerate property prices.
