The trend we have dubbed the Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle is one the key reasons we expect Regional NSW to deliver strong residential property markets in 2025.   The trend, of course, is not new – with big cities like Sydney losing population to internal migration for the past 10 years.   But the trend remains strong and has not slowed down or reversed, despite forecasts by some economists that there would be a movement of people back to the cities - with big businesses demanding that workers return to the office rather than work remotely.   The latest vacancy rate data for office space around Australia shows that the “return to the office” movement is not happening in a major way.   The Property Council of Australia, which represents the big end of town including major developers and owners of office buildings, is trying to put a positive spin on it, but the reality is that office vacancies overall are not improving in Australia as the work remotely trend continues to impact the top end office market.   The new Property Council report show than more offices were empty across the country in January than six months ago as the work from home trend continues to create headaches for Australia's big-city landlords.   Australia's office vacancy rate nudged up from 14.6% to 14.7% over the six months to January, the latest figures from the Property Council show. That's a very small rise – but the expectation was that vacancies would be falling significantly by now, as people move back to the cities and return to the CBD office buildings.   In Sydney, home to many finance, insurance and tech workers, the vacancy rate jumped from 11.6% to 12.8%, while the number of empty floors in Melbourne remained unchanged, at a historic high of 18%.   Indeed, office vacancy rates are between 9% and 18% in seven of the eight state and territory capital cities. The highest at 18% is Melbourne which is the basket case among the nation's economies and property markets of all kinds.   The Property Council called for “Active leadership” from the Victorian State Government to turn around the fortunes for Melbourne, which has Australia's second largest CBD, the Property Council says.   The AFR reported that major companies last year issued mandates for their staff to return to the office, but these figures show it's not happening in any major way – and both Melbourne and Sydney continue to have huge vacancies.   The movement of people from the biggest cities to regional areas is all about affordability and lifestyle, but enabled by technology which allows more people to work remotely – which is why office vacancies are so high.   Sydney, with a median house price around $1.2 million, has been steadily losing population and a proportion of that has been relocating to regional NSW, where the median house price is about $750,000 and plenty of regional cities and towns have houses on offer for less than $500,000.   This is a key reason why Regional NSW outperformed Sydney on price growth recently. In the past 12 months Sydney's median prices have risen 1.9% for houses and 1.1% for units, while Regional NSW has managed 3% for both houses and units – with a number of individual regional markets doing considerably better than those averages.   Many suburbs of Wollongong have increased 7-9%, and a number of Newcastle suburbs have recorded double-digit growth in their median house prices, as have some of the Albury locations and several of the suburbs of Tamworth.   A recent analysis conducted by Hotspotting ranked the eight capital cities and six state regional markets – a total of 14 major jurisdictions – from 1 to 14 based on a series of different metrics and Regional NSW ranked 6th out of 14 for price growth prospects in 2025.   At Hotspotting, we expect 2025 to be a solid year overall in Regional NSW markets – but you need to see our Top 5 Regional NSW Hotspots report to find out which locations will perform the best and out-perform market norms – this year and beyond.

The Regional New South Wales market overall is solid, without excelling at the levels seen in other regional areas like Queensland and Western Australia, but with individual out-performers. There is hesitancy in the Regional NSW market overall. It has a high number of locations where buyer activity is lukewarm and price performance below the levels seen elsewhere in the nation. It's noteworthy, however, that Regional NSW has seen better performance in its unit markets than its house markets, which is part of a national trend. Overall sales levels have improved, continuing a pattern of recovery over the past year, but remain well below the peak levels of 2021. Regional NSW saw a major decline in its market in 2022 and early 2023, with signs of gradual revival seen since mid-2023. Amid this overall patchy performance, there are some standout growth markets, based on individual Local Government Areas including those in the Wollongong, Newcastle and Albury regions. The Wollongong region continues to be a state-leading star. The City of Wollongong LGA has an above-average number of rising locations and the nearby Shoalhaven LGA continues to thrive: quarterly sales over the past 18 months have been rising steadily, showing one of the best patterns of growth in the nation. The Shellharbour area is also part of this region's growth. Newcastle remains an outstanding market and neighbouring LGAs including Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley municipalities all have busy markets. The Mid Coast LGA has delivered steady increases in market activity over the past year, quarter by quarter. Both Forster and Tuncurry have rising markets and Taree is highly consistent. While those markets are heading into over-drive, some of the high-profile regions of NSW have not yet got out of second gear.  The Central Coast still has a degree of uncertainty; Byron Bay is showing signs of recovery, after a high peak in 2021 and a deep post-boom trough in 2022 and 2023, but remains well peak the 2021 boom levels; and both Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie have had patchy results over the past year, with indications of recovery in the latest quarter. The Tweed LGA is showing signs of joining the boom experienced north of the border in the Gold Coast region, without yet being fully on board. Elsewhere in Regional NSW, Dubbo, Wellington, Orange, Gunnedah, Inverell and Tenterfield are classified as rising markets; Goulburn and Mudgee are rated as recovery markets; and Armidale, Glen Innes and Parkes stand out for consistent sales activity.

The latest lending data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics finds that loans to investors in New South Wales in April represented a 44% increase on the same time last year. That's a major jump in buyer demand, but it does not surprise the team at Hotspotting, particularly after the analysis we have done on market trends for the Winter edition of The Price Predictor. Our research shows there is heightened buyer activity in selected locations, both in Sydney and in Regional NSW. The Price Predictor Index finds that some of the nation's regional areas are the leading markets in the nation, including the Wollongong/Shoalhaven region in NSW. In the Winter edition of the PPI, we have nominated the Shoalhaven LGA as the strongest market among the nation's municipalities, while the City of Wollongong also makes our National Top 10. The Price Predictor Index for several years has charted the trend we call The Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle and our latest analysis suggests the demographic drift from the biggest capital cities is still pumping strongly. In some cases, the NSW regional markets of note are what we call “second-wind markets” -locations across Australia which were at the peak of their up-cycles in 2021 and then subsided in 2022 and 2023 – but are now showing signs of embarking on the next up-cycle, with improved activity late in 2023 and early in 2024. A prime example is Byron Bay which previously had a boom which, in reality, overshot true value – with property values doubling in two years. The median house price peaked at $3.5 million in mid-2022, but dropped markedly since to as low as $2.4 million. Now we see evidence in the sales data of a pickup in activity and also the first signs of prices recovering. The strong Albury-Wodonga regional city at the NSW-Victoria border was a boom market until mid-2022 – and now, after a flat period, is showing early signs of revival. The suburb of Albury is one of our National Top 50 Supercharged Suburbs in the Winter edition of The Price Predictor Index. Other standout locations include Newcastle and nearby areas such as Lake Macquarie and Port Stephens. Mid-coast centres like Forster and Taree are also travelling well. In Sydney, the top end is undoubtedly leading the Sydney market while the cheaper areas are struggling to maintain their previously high sales levels. Locations where houses sell for multiple millions of dollars are the strongest clusters for buyer activity, in a Greater Sydney market where sales levels have moderated a little but continue to be solid. Our analysis reveals three stand-out clusters of suburbs where sales activity is most vibrant, all of them at the upper end of the market – the municipalities of Woollahra, Waverley and Bayside. Within these LGAs, suburbs classified as rising markets include Bondi, Darling Point and Paddington. Inner-city areas which have been boosted by strong demand for apartments in the past year or so – Sydney City and the Inner West LGA - continue to generate good buyer demand. Rising suburbs in the City of Sydney include Surry Hills and Woolloomooloo, while Chippendale stands out for its consistency of performance. At the opposite end of the market spectrum, outer ring areas including the municipalities of Blacktown, Hills Shire and Penrith have lost momentum and have significant numbers of suburbs classified as declining markets. This is part of a notable trend nationwide which finds that new development areas are among the struggling markets with sales activity falling. The problems within the housing construction sector are well-documented, with building companies going broke amid rapidly rising costs and shortages of tradespeople and materials. We note that sales levels in the City of Blacktown, which has been a star performer in Sydney in recent years, have faded notably. It's noteworthy that many of the declining suburbs have median house prices well above $1 million and no longer provide relative affordability, including Rouse Hill, The Ponds and Schofields. In The Hills Shire, an even more expensive market in the far north-west, sales activity generally has dropped notably and half its suburbs are now rated as declining markets. They include a number of suburbs which all have median house prices above $1.7 million and in some cases above $2 million. Listings of homes for sale have been trending upwards in the Hills District recently, so low sales volumes cannot be attributed to a shortage of properties. But beyond that hiccup in the outer Sydney market, New South Wales broadly presents as a place that is attracting strong buyer demand, both in Sydney and in regional markets, with an uplift in investor activity a key factor.

We're constantly asked at Hotspotting whether it's better to invest in the regions or the capital cities – and whether you get higher capital growth in the outer-ring suburbs of our cities or the so-called prime inner-city locations. Now, there's no definitive answer to questions like that, because there are so many different scenarios to consider – and, at the end of the day, it comes down to the performance of individual local markets and you simply cannot generalise. But, based on the evidence of where the highest capital growth has occurred in the past four years, I would have to say the best performers have been found in regional areas and the outer-ring precincts of capital cities – NOT including Sydney or Melbourne. PropTrack, which is Hotspotting's preferred source of property data, has analysed capital growth since March 2020 – which is when the Covid lockdowns started to happen.It shows that home prices have increased 40% in the four years since. But the growth in the combined regional areas has been 54%, compared with 35% in the combined capital cities. So there's your first answer: based on this evidence, the regions have out-performed the cities  overall. When you divide Australia into the 15 major jurisdictions (eight capital cities and seven state or territory regional areas), the top two areas are regional and six of the top nine are regional precincts. Regional Queensland ranks No.1, with home values up 66.5%, followed by Regional South Australia, up 66.2%. The next on the list are Adelaide in third place, Brisbane fourth and Perth fifth. Then, in order, come Regional WA, Regional Tasmania, Regional NSW, Regional Victoria and, in 10th place, the ACT. You'll note that those are the top 10 on the list of 15 jurisdictions, and Sydney and Melbourne haven't featured yet. Sydney ranks 12th out of the 15 and Melbourne ranks 14th – or second last. So there's a fairly emphatic answer: the regions have undoubtedly out-performed the cities – and the best performers among the cities don't include the two biggest ones. Adelaide home prices increased 64% and Brisbane 63%, to be the strongest capital cities on capital growth over four years, compared with 35% in Sydney and just 17% in Melbourne. When PropTrack looked at the individual locations within the regions and the cities, the Top 10 list of locations for capital growth in the past four years comprised regional centres and the outer ring areas of capital cities. The Wide Bay region of Queensland was the top individual area on price performance, with values up 80% in four years. This notable growth region includes regional centres like Hervey Bay, Bundaberg, Gympie and Kingaroy – all places which have featured in recent years in our Hotspots reports. Next was Ipswich City, in the outer south-west of Greater Brisbane, followed by the Outer North of Greater Adelaide – both up by more than 75%. At Hotspotting, we have strongly advocated Ipswich and northern Adelaide LGAs like Salisbury, Playford and Gawler in the past several years. Fourth on the list was the Gold Coast, which rose 74% in the four years. It's notable that 9 of the 10 locations on the national top 10 list are in Queensland and South Australia. And here's a final thought. What I've just described is what's happened in the past four years. Thre's no guarantee the same will happen in the next four years. As we often tell people, the past does NOT inform the future. But it's worth noting that, based on the metrics we use at Hotspotting, we do expect Brisbane, Regional Queensland and Adelaide to be among the best performers on price in the next year or so.

One of the great strengths of Regional NSW is that it provides affordable lifestyle alternatives to the super expensive Sydney property market. Regional NSW in many ways provides something for everyone: some of Australia's largest and most important regional cities, attractive sea change towns, appealing hill change enclaves, industrial centres, strong multi-purpose inland cities, lifestyle regions – and price ranges to suit most budgets. Another of the Regional NSW advantages is that its property markets are underpinned by one of the nation's strongest economies – ranked No.2 in the January 2024 edition of State of the States published by CommSec. Part of that growth state economy is a major program of big infrastructure developments, including the $31 billion Inland Rail Link which has been energising markets along the construction route over the past 2-3 years. Against that backdrop, Regional NSW overall showed steady improvement throughout last year and ended 2023 with a solid market, although not as strong as Sydney's. The number of rising markets to be found in Regional NSW has increased recently, which means Regional NSW has started 2024 with good momentum in many locations. NSW is a big state and there are many different scenarios in play, with markets that are rising strongly, some that are seeing moderate growth and others that are still struggling. Some of the most high-profile NSW markets, like Byron Bay and the Central Coast, have not yet recovered from the correction phase in their property cycles, following the big uplift in 2020 and 2021. But other precincts are doing much better.  The strongest market in Regional NSW is formed by the City of Wollongong and neighbouring LGAs Shoalhaven and Shellharbour. Those three municipalities comprise a growth cluster on the coast south of Sydney, where most of the individual suburbs and towns have positive trends with sales activity and prices.  The Newcastle and Hunter region is steadily improving also, but is not yet as bullish as that Wollongong precinct.  There are nevertheless plenty of growth markets in Newcastle and the neighbouring Lake Macquarie LGA. Other precincts with positive trends with their sales activity include the Tweed, Ballina, Coffs Harbour, Goulburn, Orange and Albury regions.

The new Summer edition of The Price Predictor Index shows that residential real estate in 2023 has defied the dire predictions of economists and commentators who told us that house prices would drop at least 15% because interest rates were rising. Sales activity and prices have become stronger as the year has evolved. Our analysis shows that markets throughout the nation are overwhelmingly upbeat: 71% of suburbs have positive sales activity trends, led by the 31% of locations which we classify as rising markets and the 26% which are recovering markets. Only 4% of suburbs are ranked as declining markets. There are numerous municipalities nationwide where virtually every suburb has a positive (rising, recovering or consistency) ranking in our analysis of sales activity trends and many outstanding precincts failed to make our National Top 10 Municipalities list because there were so many worthy candidates. The rise of the three biggest cities, described in our Spring edition three months ago, has gathered further impetus. Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney all have 84-87% of their suburbs with positive momentum in their markets, a dramatic turnaround since the start of calendar 2023. But next in the national rankings are Regional Queensland, Regional South Australia, Regional WA and Regional Victoria, indicating that markets outside of the capital cities continue to deliver growth. Overall, there is more powerful momentum in the cities than the regions. Seven of our National Top 10 Municipalities are capital city precincts - and 72 of the National Top 100 Supercharged Suburbs are located in capital cities. Sydney is stronger than Regional NSW at present, Melbourne is outpointing Regional Victoria and Brisbane is (slightly) ahead of Regional Queensland. The dominant trend in 2023 has been recovery, initially, and then strong upward trajectories with sales volumes - but not everywhere is on board with the resurgence. As Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and several regional markets move into overdrive, Canberra and Darwin are stuck in neutral and Perth - after being a nation-leading growth market for three years - is now in reverse. The Perth market is showing the first signs of fading and has lost its position as a national growth leader (although it will take time before it shows up in the price data). The Canberra market is the weakest we have recorded in the eight years of these quarterly surveys and the Darwin market has little energy (CommSec in the State of the States report ranks the ACT and the Northern Territory as the nation's weakest economies). This confirms that property markets are local in nature and it's rare to see all markets moving in the same direction and at the same speed. Currently, the top 5 markets (Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Regional Queensland and Regional SA) are very strong and the bottom 3 (Canberra, Darwin and Regional Tasmania) are rather weak. One of the key findings of our surveys in 2023 has been the emergence of unit markets and this trend has taken on greater force as the year has progressed. Suburbs where apartments dominate the dwelling mix are among the most powerful markets in Australia. The National Top 100 list of Supercharged Suburbs includes 24 in Greater Sydney, of which half are locations dominated by units. Inner-city suburbs in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth also feature prominently on this list, while the National Top 10 Municipalities list includes the City of Melbourne, the City of Sydney and the Brisbane- inner precinct - as well as Gold Coast City, where a sizeable proportion of buyer demand is directed towards apartments. The dominant paradigm of real estate (that houses on land show superior capital growth to apartments ) is being challenged. While recovery, revival and resurgence are the dominant themes of Australian property markets, there are (as always) notable exceptions. The most striking absentees from the lists of market jurisdictions where sales activity is strong are some of Australia's most iconic Sea Change locations: Byron Bay, the Sunshine Coast, the Mornington Peninsula and the Central Coast. The common feature of those four locations is that they experienced extraordinary uplift during the so- called Covid Boom and indeed overshot realistic market values in some cases. The median price for Byron Bay more than doubled in three years, upmarket Sunshine Coast suburbs like Sunshine Beach achieved similar astronomical growth, while the Mornington Peninsula was the Victorian equivalent. It's significant that while the upsurge across Greater Melbourne has been felt in almost every market sector, the Mornington Peninsula is a stark exception. The Gold Coast is again a growth market but the Sunshine Coast is lagging. These places are having longer and deeper corrections than other parts of the country. So those are the highlights – but's there's so much more in the Summer 2023-24 edition of The Price Predictor Index. It provides a ranking for every major suburb and town in Australia and alerts you to the markets that are likely to show good price growth – and warns you of the ones to avoid. It's justifiably one of our most popular reports and not to be missed by anyone wanting to plan a real estate move in 2024.

Enjoy part 1 of Young Legends - Flood Stories from Main Arm Upper Public School. This episode explores the young peoples' direct experiences of floods that occurred in the Northern Rivers in 2022. Young Legends - Flood Stories is an integrated arts, recovery, & wellbeing project that focuses on the cathartic experience of storytelling. This project focuses on the format of podcasting,  which is a personal and public experience. Grade 5 & 6 from Main Arm Upper Public School were supported by trained youth workers as they told their personal experiences of the devastating floods of 2022 in the Northern Rivers. Such supported storytelling built resilience and provided a cathartic experience for young people ‘to feel lighter' after telling their stories. This project was made possible by funding from the Regional Youth Radio Program from the NSW Government Department of Regional NSW. This podcast was produced by Monet Shortland, Rasela Torise and Lealah Shostak and managed by the Byron Youth Service Inc.

Regional NSW is part of the emerging recovery theme which dominates the national real estate scene, although its revival is perhaps a little less emphatic than some of the other states. Earlier in the year, when Hotspotting conducted its Winter survey of sales activity, only a third of Regional NSW locations had positive outcomes. But more recently our Spring survey revealed that two-thirds of locations had positive rankings. This represents a meaningful turnaround in the Regional NSW market overall, although some high-profile locations like Byron Bay have yet to join the revival. The biggest cohort in Regional NSW now is the recovering markets.

Some green shoots of recovery have appeared in the Regional NSW market after a year in which the market steadily declined in many locations. While locations classified as rising markets continue to be scarce, there are significant numbers of locations which have maintained consistent sales activity through the downturn period – and meaningful numbers of locations which have recently reversed the previous decline in their sales activity. At the same time, there remain a number of locations which have been in decline for the past year or longer. And plateau markets, those where sales activity has tapered off and settled at levels below the previous peaks, continue to be the biggest cohort in the Regional NSW market.
