Australia’s Home Prices Decline Annually For First Time in Six Years

Best Asia real estate editor's Comments: Unfortunately for many of my Australian friends prices of Australian real estate are dropping for the first time in years as I predicted last year.


Unfortunately I believe it's going to be an exponential drop with potential 5% to 10% average drop this year alone.

Major cities such as Sydney. Melbourne and Brisbane may see drops of as much is 20% on some expensive homes.

One reason for falling prices will be less demand from baby boomers .

For example, in Australia it is estimated that 25% of its 25 million population are baby boomers. 

If Bali only receives 1%, of those Boomers that is 6,250 Australian  baby boomers seeking to buy or lease a Bali home for the next five to twenty years. 

A large portion of those boomers currently living near Bali will want to retire here adding a whole new demand for Bali real estate for the next five to ten years.

PT. B.A.L.I. reveals that of the 55 Luxury villas that they manage less than 5% were occupied by Baby Boomers 13 years ago. Now over 25% are full-time retirees.


 




I will be discussing how boomers can retire in Bali and buy two or three homes for the price of what they sell their one home or apartment in major Australian cities. 

Not only can they live here but they can make money by renting out the rest of their homes while enjoying a lavish lifestyle with maids, drivers, gardeners living in a place that has clean-air. Let's not forget wonderful year-round temperatures plus friendly people with a cost of living 62% less than most average Australian major cities.

Cooling luxury markets in Melbourne and Sydney drove the downturn nationwide

AUSTRALIA REAL ESTATE NEWS SYDNEY MARKET REPORTS

Home Prices in Melbourne, Australia fell 1.2% in the three months leading to May, the largest quarterly decline since February 2012.

A sharp downturn in the luxury markets in Melbourne and Sydney caused a major correction in Australia’s national home prices last month, according to a new report.

In May, the CoreLogic Hedonic Home Value Index fell 0.4% year-over-year to a median A$555,274 (US$424,570), marking the first negative price growth annually since October 2012, according to data released last Friday by CoreLogic, a leading market information provider.

It was also the eighth month in a row the index posted a month-over-month price decline since the national market peaked in September last year.

Weakening housing conditions across the eight capital cities, including Sydney and Melbourne, were mostly responsible for the price downturn at a national level, said Tim Lawless, head of research at CoreLogic.

The price index for capital cities ended May with a 1.1% decline year-over-year, while the index for other regions combined saw a 2.2% increase.
Change in Australia’s Home Prices
Region Month Quarter Annual Median Value
Sydney -0.2% -0.9% -4.2% A$871,454
Melbourne -0.5% -1.2% 2.2% A$717,020
Brisbane 0.2% 0.2% 0.9% A$494,038
Adelaide 0.5% 0.3% 0.6% A$437,234
Perth -0.1% 0.1% -1.8% A$463,319
Hobart 0.8% 3.7% 12.7% A$430,429
Darwin -0.2% 1.3% -7.9% A$434,134
Canberra -0.1% 0.8% 2.3% A$592,954
Combined Capitals -0.2% -0.6% -1.1% A$654,710
Combined Regional 0.2% 1.0% 2.2% A$365,792
National -0.1% -0.3% -0.4% A$555,274

In Melbourne, although home prices still grew 2.2% year-over-year, they decreased on both a monthly (-0.5%) and quarterly basis (-1.2%). The quarterly price decline is the largest since February 2012, according to the report.

The luxury segment, or the top 25% of the market in Melbourne, fell 3.3% since last September’s peak. Contrastly, the bottom 25% remained flat while the broader middle market only slipped 0.8% during the same period of time.

The price index for Sydney fell on all comparable periods, down 4.2% annually, 0.9% quarterly and 0.2% monthly.

The top 25% of the Sydney market fell 7.1% from September’s peak, compared to a 1.4% decline for the most affordable quarter of the market and a 3.3% fall for the mid-range market.

Sydney and Melbourne comprise approximately 60% of Australia’s housing market by value, “so the performance of these two cities has a larger effect on the headline market performance,” Mr. Lawless said.

Nationally, the luxury segment was also the worst performer with a 1.3% price decline over the past 12 months, making it the only segment in negative territory, according to the report.
