Australia's housing market is firmly in recovery mode as prices are on track to reach a new record high. Here's what's happening in your capital city.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The September quarter saw Adelaide recording the highest capital gain at 4.3 per cent, pipping out Brisbane and Perth.
According to Mr Lawless, Brisbane looks set to reach a new record high in October, with home values currently only 0.6 per cent below their previous peak.
Perth was one of three capital cities to record strong September quarter figures, with house values up 3.6 per cent.
The median house value in Sydney rose 1 per cent and is now just short of $1.4 million, the peak it reached in February last year.
Together with low levels of supply, PRD chief economist Diaswati Mardiasmo believes property prices will increase further.
"People are feeling more confident with their financial situation as stable rates means there is less turbulence in monthly mortgage repayments, which allows them to plan their household budgets with more certainty," she said.

Private equity, negative gearing, essential resource and no sign anyone's going to be reigned in. We'll only get off this ride when it derails

Considering
Only 1% of Australian taxpayers own nearly a quarter of all property investments across the country, amid concerns over escalating rates of wealth concentration.
Data provided by the Australian Taxation Office has revealed the extent of that concentration, with more than 7% of property investors – or 215,321 people – accounting for 25% of all property investments.
That 7% also have three or more interests in investment properties across the country, with 1% of investors – or just 19,895 people – currently holding six or more investment interests.
And that is only the top 1% of tax payers (which is only 7% of investors), I can't imagine what percentage of property investment is owned by the top 10% of tax payers.
Sydney is an international city, and everyone all over the world wants a piece. That’s how.
