Melbourne's property market remains the great under-achiever of the nation but that may be about to change.   A number of key indicators suggest better performance by the Melbourne property market is imminent.   One pointer to better times is the latest Property Sentiment survey by API magazine, which recorded a major turnaround in investor attitudes towards the Victorian property market.   The survey asked: Which state or territory do you regard as having the best property investment prospects for the next 12 months?   Mid-year Melbourne and Victoria attracted only 8.6 per cent of respondents who felt it was the best state for property investment.   Three months later in the new survey there was a remarkable turnaround, with 25 per cent identifying Victoria as having the best property investment prospects for the next 12 months.   This ranked Victoria No.2 - above New South Wales and Western Australia, and close behind Queensland in the investment popularity stakes.   One of the attractions of Melbourne is its relative affordability, thanks for the absence of price growth in the past two years.   The latest Home Price Index from PropTrack shows that Melbourne is currently cheaper than Canberra and Brisbane, as well as being well behind Sydney. Melbourne's median dwelling price is on a par with Adelaide and Perth now.   Sydney's median dwelling price is $1.1 million, compared to $790,000 in Melbourne.   There is a growing perception that Melbourne is now affordable and poised for capital growth that would return it to its more familiar spot sitting a little ehind Sydney as the country's priciest market.   Indeed, the latest PropTrack price report notes recent evidence of a turnaround for Melbourne. It says:   “Price falls have started to reverse in Melbourne, with buyers out in force for the peak of spring selling season. Prices rose 0.5% in October, the highest monthly growth rate among the capital cities.”   Other factors suggesting that Melbourne is due for a period of stronger property market performance include population growth (fuelled by overseas migrants and international students), a solid economy and a significant program of major infrastructure developments.   The latest edition of the State of the States report from CommSec ranked Victoria No.4 among the state and territory economies, ahead of NSW, the ACT, Tasmania and the Northern Territory. The report said the greatest strength of the Victoria economy is the level of construction work.   The latest population data from the ABS shows Victoria had the second highest growth rate among the states and territories in the year to March 2024, rising 2.7% compared to the national average of 2.3% - and bettered only by Western Australia.   In raw numbers, Victoria added more to its population than any other state, ahead of NSW and Queensland.   Jacob Caine, President of the REIV, says Victoria has always been an attractive destination for overseas and interstate migration.   Caine says: “Melbourne's reputation as one of the most liveable cities is well deserved.   “We have a growing population and growing demand for rental properties with new residents more likely to rent before buying.   “The challenge in Victoria is a lack of housing supply, and the need for Government to build a stronger policy platform that will attract new property investors to meet the needs of the market.”   One positive policy from the State Government is the recent announcement that the stamp duty concession for off-the-plan properties in Victoria has been extended to investors - and the price cap removed for home buyers, albeit temporarily.   This has been largely welcomed by the sector, as offering a much-needed boost to development.   New data from off-the-plan property portal, urban.com.au, has shown a “massive spike in interest” for Victorian off-the-plan projects after the concession's announcement, reporting an immediate 123 per cent increase in direct online enquiries, and a fivefold increase in online traffic volume.   Another factor in favour of investors is the reduction is the number of rental properties available, putting upward pressure on residential rents.   For the first time since records began in 1999, Victoria's active rental bonds dropped significantly over the 12 months to June 2024, signalling a significant shift in the state's rental market.   There are now 22,000 fewer rental properties in the market than a year ago.   Victoria's high property taxes and stricter rental property standards have made owning investment properties less attractive. These factors, combined with sustained higher interest rates, have driven many landlords to sell off their properties.   Melbourne's metro areas have experienced the largest declines, with more than 20,000 fewer rental properties, a 3.7% year-on-year decrease. Regional Victoria saw a smaller drop of around 1,000 properties.   Every Melbourne LGA saw rents rise in the past year, with some regions experiencing increases of nearly 20%. Overall, rents are (on average) 7.5% higher than a year ago, creating affordability challenges for tenants.   Another positive for the state is that Victoria currently leads the nation in first-home buyer activity, accounting for 32% of new loans.   Victoria's population is projected to grow significantly over the next five years, further increasing demand for rental properties. The shrinking rental market, combined with rising construction costs and fewer new developments, could exacerbate housing affordability issues for both renters and buyers.   The Australian Financial Review reported earlier this month that “Melbourne's housing market could outperform Sydney and other capital cities once it emerges from its current downturn, boosted by a marked improvement in affordability after years of weak growth”.   Nicola Powell, Domain's chief of research and economics, says: “In the next cycle, we're likely to see Melbourne overperform because it has underperformed significantly compared to other capital cities since March 2020.”   AMP capital's chief economist Shane Oliver says he expects Melbourne prices to grow more than Sydney's in the next upswing.   Oliver says: “Melbourne's been lagging for some time, but this has made the property market relatively cheap compared to Sydney and the other cities. Because of its relative underperformance, it could bounce back a little bit quicker and sharper.”   At Hotspotting, our assessment is that many of the key parameters and indicators are lining up to boost the growth prospects for Melbourne and Regional Victoria in 2025. The city and the state generally are overdue for a period of price growth.  

If I asked you to nominate the market which had recorded the best long-term capital growth in Australia, what would your answer be?   Sydney, the capital city with the nation's highest property prices?   Perth, which has had a booming property market lately and has led the nation on price growth for past couple of years?   Brisbane, which always attracts strong demand from buyers of all sorts?   Or perhaps Regional Queensland, which benefits from internal migrants moving from others parts of Australia and from investors seeking affordability and strong yields?   The correct answer is none of the above.   The market jurisdiction which has led the nation on long-term capital growth is: Regional Tasmania.   This is the outcome of research conducted by the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA), which analysed Australian Bureau of Statistics' data on established median dwelling values over 20 years - from June 2004 to June 2024.   The top location recorded growth of 233% while the worst grew 100% over the two-decade period.    In comparison, over the past 20 years, the stock market (S&P/ASX 200) increased by 120%, according to investing.com.   In general terms, the best capital growth has been smaller capital cities or more affordable regions.    The top result was “the Rest of Tasmania”, which means Tasmania outside of the capital city Hobart or Regional Tasmania - where its established median house price rose from $169,000 20 years ago to $449,000 in mid-2024.    The best capital city performers were also some of our nation's most affordable throughout the period with Adelaide, Hobart, and Brisbane taking out the top three city rankings.    PIPA comments that property markets are not linear – rather, price growth occurs at varying points over time. Hobart, for example, has experienced a softening of prices over the past few years, but its house price have almost tripled since 2004 – up 193% in 20 years.   Adelaide and Brisbane have both had very strong markets in the past two years but both had long periods of flat-lining prices throughout the past two decades.   It reflects the reality that real estate consumers get the best results through long-term ownership and PIPA Chair Nicola McDougall says property owners should always adopt a long-term mindset.   But PIPA research indicates many investors don't follow that philosophy.   PIPA's 2024 Annual Investor Sentiment Survey found that 61% of investors who sold in the past year had a holding period of less than 10 years – and 17% of those investors who sold indicated they had owned the property for less than three years.    So the rankings from the PIPA research on capital growth over the past 20 years are: 1 Regional Tasmania 2 Adelaide 3 Hobart 4 Brisbane 5 Regional Victoria 6 Perth   Sydney ranked seventh and Melbourne 11th, once again disproving one of the real estate's greatest myths, that you get the best capital growth in the biggest cities – and that prime out-performs affordable.   And the worst performers were Darwin and “the Rest of Northern Territory” – but even the remote markets of the NT achieved a doubling of property values over 20 years.

How relevant is population growth data for people choosing where to buy? According to the theories espoused by some, the best places to buy are the ones with the highest population growth. But the evidence suggests otherwise. For example, take a look at the latest data on population growth across Australia, published by the ABS recently. It shows that one of the states with the highest population growth has been one of the worst performers recently on price growth, while one of the states with the lowest population growth has been one of Australia's best performers on price growth. For the record, the ABS data on population for the 12 months to the end of March 2024, shows that the national population is now above 27 million  - 27,122,411 to be exact. Over 600,000 was added to the national population in that 12-month period which, while very high growth, was less than the number added in the 2023 financial year. 83% of the national population growth has been due to overseas migration. In 12 months ended March 2024, Australia added over 509,000 net migrants (made up of 718,000 people immigrating to Australia and 209,000 emigrating).  Western Australia recorded the highest percentage growth in the 12 months to March, with its population rising 3.11%, compared to the national average of 2.32%. And that, of course, does align with house price outcomes, with Perth recording the highest price growth among the capital cities and WA achieving the highest price rises among the state and territory regional markets. The next highest annual growth in population was in Victoria, which rose 2.72%. But property prices haven't been rising in Melbourne or Regional Victoria – in fact, they've gone backwards a little in the past year. So, high population growth, particularly from overseas migrants, has not pumped up property markets in Victoria. One of the weakest population growth rates has been South Australia, up just 1.48%, but Adelaide has been achieving exceptional growth in house prices and unit prices, bettered only by Perth. And Regional SA has consistently been an out-performer on property price growth as well. Clearly, based on this evidence, population growth in not the big factor. It may A FACTOR, one of a number of factors which can influence property markets, but clearly it's not the big driver.

The markets currently attracting our focus at Hotspotting are the ones we call “the second wind markets”. These are locations which experienced strong capital from 2020 to 2022, have been in the post-boom pause/correction phase for the past 18 months or so, and are now poised for another period of price growth. There are few better places to find second-wind markets than Regional Victoria, as many of the key centres have exhibited that pattern over the past 3-4 years and are now showing the early signs of revival. Many of the suburbs of Ballarat are classic examples. The median house price for Sebastopol rose from $330,000 in 2020 to $475,000 by the end of 2022. There has been a price correction in the past 18 months but market activity is rising again and another period of price growth is expected. Eaglehawk in Ballarat rose from $325,000 in mid-2020 to $520,000 in early 2023, before the price graph evened out over the following 12-18 months. Bendigo displays similar patterns. The suburb of California Gully had a median house price of $300,000 in 2020, rising to $465,000 late in 2022. The price graph has flatlined since then, before showing the first signs of new growth in mid-2024. Similarly, Flora Hill lifted its median house price from $255,000 in 2020 to $450,000 in early 2023 – but the price graph has been flat over the past 12 months. Now sales activity is rising again, which is a forward indicator of impending price growth. Other markets in Regional Victoria have this pattern, which is a common one in real estate cycles with a period of strong growth followed by a period of correction or no growth, before the market embarks on the next growth cycle. Shepparton, Traralgon, Mildura, Wodonga, Warrnambool and many other Victoria regional centres have this pattern. They're all places with solid local economies and credentials for future growth. Most of them commonly have houses in the $400,000s and $500,000s, with low vacancy rates, so they present attractive features for property investors.  

Welcome back to Talk Property to Me! In this episode, my co-host Brad East and I delve into the predicted growth areas in each state in the sub-800k market segment. We use an algorithm that considers historical data, infrastructure spending, supply and demand metrics, quality of schools, and socioeconomic factors to identify these high-growth areas. We start by discussing the importance of school quality in property investment decisions, sharing personal experiences of how it influenced our own property choices. We emphasize the significance of analyzing sub-markets and understanding the demographics and preferences of potential buyers or renters in different price points. Moving on to specific states, we highlight the Barossa Valley in South Australia and Maitland in New South Wales as promising areas for future growth due to their affordability, stable rental increases, and favorable market metrics. In Queensland, Ipswich and Breland Point stand out as potential high-growth areas, while in Victoria, Melton and Brimbank are identified as key locations to watch. We caution against investing in areas with limited data or high days on the market, such as Zuccoli in the Northern Territory. In Western Australia, Cockburn emerges as a potential investment hotspot due to its coastal location and affordability, despite concerns about long-term growth sustainability. Throughout the episode, we stress the importance of thorough research and due diligence when selecting investment properties, advising listeners to focus on location, lifestyle amenities, and market demand. We conclude by encouraging listeners to invest where people want to live, rather than solely focusing on tax benefits or short-term gains. Join us on the next episode of Talk Property to Me as we continue to explore the dynamic world of property investment and share valuable insights to help you make informed decisions in the real estate market.

Got a question for the trio? https://forms.zohopublic.com/propertyplanningaustralia/form/GotaquestionforthePropertyTrio/formperma/zYCQAxzE_24CVlDafP1ozyzwtmB-8m1iCNtCTgDvHXMMike kicks off this episode, and directly following Budget Night, the Trio chat all things Federal budget. From the lack of new property initiatives to questioning the impact of the Federal Rental relief, one thing is obvious. The Labour government are acutely aware of the need to see inflation rates reduce, and we are less than one year out from an election. The budget could be described as tame, but that doesn't slow the discussion at all for the Trio.April's increase takes the current growth cycle into its 15th month, with housing values up 11.1% since the trough in January last year. However, almost every capital city is recording stronger growth conditions across the lower value range of the market.The shift towards stronger conditions across lower value markets can also be seen between the housing types, with growth in unit values outpacing house values over the past three months. Hobart was the only city where houses recorded a larger gain than units over the past three months.Regional markets have shown a slightly stronger quarterly growth rate over the past five months than their capital city counterparts, following a 10-month period where the combined capitals index was outperforming. Regional Victoria (-0.1%) was the only rest of state market to record a decline in values over the rolling quarter. Nationally, rents were up 0.8% in April, a slightly lower rate of growth relative to February and March when the national rental index rose 0.9% and 1.0% respectively. As Dave points out, Although rental growth may be tapering, supply remains extremely short and the trend towards smaller households seen through COVID has been slow to reverse, further amplifying rental demand. It is likely rental growth will remain well above average for some time yet.In April, the national gross rental yield rose to 3.75%, the highest reading since October 2019, up from a record low of 3.16% in January 2021. Vacancies continue to remain tight, although a subtle ease is evident from last month to our current month, with more than half of the capital cities increasing slightly. Dwelling sales look to have moved through a cyclical peak in November last year. Although the monthly trend in home sales is highly seasonal, the less seasonal six-month trend has remained relatively flat since the November rate hike. Estimated sales over the past three months are tracking 8.6% higher than at the same time last year, and about 5.1% above the previous five-year average. Listing volumes tell an interesting story, and as Cate points out, the rate of new listings is remarkably 'normal', in fact it's slightly stronger than the past five year average. However, the total listings tell another story. Demand is exceeding supply, and older listings are now being snapped up by buyers. The trio canvas what the possible driver could be, and they determine that old stock, (in particular, units) could be the reason. Given the the relative outperformance of units in most capital cities, this possibility doesn't seem all that extreme.In an effort to cover off the Consumer Sentiment Index, we turned to the ANZ Roy Morgan poll given Westpac's index is yet to materialise. Consumer Confidence remains very weak, sitting at its lowest level for the year.Show Notes: https://www.propertytrio.com.au/2024/05/20/ep-258-april-market-update/

In this episode from Season 1 (2021) we have Renée McCready joining us. Also known as Lady Pachamama, Renée is a plant wisdom keeper, ceremonialist, shamanic healer and therapist, she's a kitchen witch, yoga teacher, an earth doula, bio-regionalist, and a practicing animist. Renée runs various workshops, sacred cacao ceremonies, mentoring programmes and her personal practice from the forest highlands of Regional Victoria, Australia, which just so happens to be her home. She offers ceremonial work with sacred cacao and other plant medicine, spiritual nutrition and education around food as medicine, plant and earth wisdom work, ancestral healing, embodiment work, and more. It's part of her mission to help people recalibrate and realign back to their own original human blueprint, which is something that we'll touch on during this episode, but essentially what we're speaking to here, is our roots within nature, our remembrance to our ancestral lineages that had a reverence and solid connection to the land beneath their feet. This ties in nourishing that mind-body-soul connection that we all have, and tapping into our own unique personal medicines, our passions, our heart and of course our purpose, our great reason for being here. As you might guess from her bio, there was a lot to unpack and explore, touching on many of these themes, and it was a pleasure to welcome Renée to the show.   EPISODE NOTES: Why living in the forest is the perfect environment for Renée Respecting the power of the native plants we share our living spaces Honoring our sacred connections to the ancestors and their land Working as an Earth Doula Creating year-round health using the wisdom of the Earth Grocery Story magic: Learning Earth medicine on a deeper level at the grocery Learning and healing from the wisdom of our ancestors and the land Tapping into the Old Ways Using your intuition Sacred cacao, or trend going in the wrong direction?
