Market Update: Melbourne

April 2018 In Investment

Melbourne

Looking for a way to break into the Melbourne property market? Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening in the beautiful city by the bay.

What’s happening in the Melbourne market

While growth in many of the nations’ capital cities has slowed or even declined in recent months, performance in the Melbourne market in the December quarter exceeded expectations, with the median house price for the first time exceeding the $900,000 mark. This was a 3.2 per cent increase on the previous quarter, suggesting that despite the theory that property prices in Melbourne are set to cool in 2018, the market is still going strong.

According to the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV), the property market in Melbourne is the strongest it has been in seven years, with strong growth in the outer suburbs. In fact, over the December quarter the median house price in the outer suburbs of Melbourne grew a very impressive 2.4 per cent to $666,500, demonstrating the increasing demand for homes in this segment of the market.

What’s driving the growth

In a recent media release, REIV President Richard Simpson attributed the results to population growth, attractive incentives for first home buyers and record low interest rates.

He also identified that the growth in the outer suburbs is largely due to owner-occupiers who are attracted to the affordability and space on offer. Because most suburbs within close-proximity to the CBD are now out of reach of most first home buyers, homes further from the city that still have access to good infrastructure and amenities are an attractive way for buyers to break into the market.
