More buyers are opting for affordable properties and in many capital cities that means buying a strata unit. Analysis by InfoTrack shows strata property purchases increased from 31.43% in the first quarter of 2024 to 33.01% in Q3 in New South Wales. In Queensland strata purchases increased from 26.47% in the second quarter of 2024 to 27.43% in the third quarter.

Australia’s auction market continues to power along as thousands of sellers put their properties up for sale under the hammer. CoreLogic data shows that 2525 auctions were held across the capital cities last week, the second highest number of auctions of the Spring Selling Season. And numbers are tipped to increase in coming weeks, with CoreLogic currently tracking around 2600 properties scheduled for auction this week and more than 3,000 auctions over the following week. Clearance rates nationally rose slightly from 66.6% last week compared with 63.9% the previous week. Although Melbourne had the highest number of auctions, it did not have the highest clearance rate. Its preliminary clearance rate was 64.8%, while the ACT was 71.2% – its highest rate since June. Sydney’s clearance rate was 69%, Brisbane 62.5% and Adelaide 67.5%. According to CoreLogic, historically, the peak in auction activity is usually in late November or the first two weeks of December.

The total value of Australia’s property market continues to grow, breaching $11 trillion for the first time. According to CoreLogic, property values increased by $900 billion in the past 12 months. It says home values nationwide grew by 1% in the September 2024 quarter, with growth for the year to September now at 6.7%. The smaller capital cities continue to drive the market, with CoreLogic economist Kaytlin Ezzy saying property values in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide are at record highs. Perth’s annual growth is 24.1%, Adelaide 14.8% and Brisbane 14.5%. Sydney is up 4.5% in the 12 months to September while Melbourne and Hobart are 5.1% and 12.5% respectively below record highs recorded in March 2022. Ezzy says the pace of growth has slowed, partly influenced by an increase in listings, which are up 2.1% year-on-year in October. “As we move through spring, we’re likely to see further moderation in value growth as new listings continue to rise, providing some relief for buyers who have faced intense competition over the past year,” she says.

A shortage of supply is set to see demand, and prices, for existing apartments grow in the next 18 months according to an analysis by CBRE. It says at the moment there is a price difference of about 23% between newly built and existing apartments offered for sale which makes existing stock an attractive market for investors, particularly during a period of tight vacancies and strong employment levels. But it predicts that as new supply remains constrained the price difference will begin to close. CBRE head of research Sameer Chopra, says the high cost of construction and a shortage of new apartments will result in price increases. “Apartment values have not kept pace with construction costs in the past five years,” he says. “That disparity is currently at 23%. We expect this gap to close out and revert to a premium.” Vacancies are tipped to continue to drop to as low as 1.2% in 2029, down from 1.9% in 2024. “These tight conditions will endure as vacancies stay at around half of the previous decade average of 2.5%,” Chopra says.
