While Australian homeowners may be a little nervous after hearing real estate prices for the first time in 20 months, buyers will sit back and take notes.
Key points:
- The first three suburbs in each capital city are mostly grouped in the same areas
- Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra lead the falls
- Adelaide, Brisbane and some regional areas continue to see sharp price increases
According to two leading monthly indices – CoreLogic and REA’s PropTrack – the nationwide monthly decline is approximately 0.1 percent.
Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra lead falls while Adelaide, Brisbane and some regional areas continue to show sharp price increases.
The coin always has two sides
Just as homeowners may perceive the latest news about home prices as negative, buyers may feel some long-forgotten optimism about returning to the market.
Likewise, middle prices do not tell the whole story. Median values do not necessarily mean that all houses in a particularly favorable growth area will rise in price.
These statistics provide an overview of properties that have been sold in a given time period.
Ultimately, the value of your house will be determined by how much the buyer would pay for it.
