The week in Australian property with Rasti Vaibhav | 1st March 2024
Hello there! As we navigate through March 2024, the Australian property landscape is undergoing fascinating transformations. These shifts are not just altering the market's structure but also influencing the decisions of homeowners and investors across the nation.
From a notable divergence in the pricing of houses and units to a clarion call for enhanced construction incentives, and the unexpected resilience of regional markets, there's a wealth of insights to explore. Whether you're stepping into the property market for the first time or you're a seasoned investor, this deep dive into the current trends is tailored to guide your next strategic move.
Exploring the Divergence in House and Unit Prices
Tim Lawless, the esteemed Research Director at CoreLogic, attributes this shift to the escalating land values and the dwindling availability of houses for sale, which has, in turn, propelled house prices upwards.
Notably, Sydney leads the chart with a disparity of 68.4%, with Canberra and Adelaide closely trailing.
The Critical Need for Enhanced Building Incentives
Mike Zorbas, PCA's Chief Executive, underscores the importance of constructing homes proximate to employment, educational, and social amenities to foster vibrant, healthy communities.
