Australia’s top performing suburbs across each capital city for 2018

Posted on February 22, 2019 by 60+Club

Australia’s top performing suburbs for 2018 for house & units

On what has been a turbulent year in housing market movements throughout 2018, Corelogic has released their annual report Best of the Best, for 2018. The Corelogic Best of the Best 2018 report provides an in depth review of housing values based on all data current to November 2018. The report covers a range of housing data metrics such as median values, 12-month change, 5-year change and rental rates and yields over time. The data provides house and unit values across a national level and capital city-suburb level.

Our article provides a snapshot of the Best of the Best report, touching on some of the comments made by Corelogic’s Australian head of research Cameron Kusher, and the broader sentiment on the housing market.

When summing up the 2018 housing market, CoreLogic head of Australian research Cameron Kusher described it as a market which at a macro level is slowing quite rapidly however, when you dig under the surface you can see that market conditions are as mixed as they have ever been.

Over the past year the annual changes in dwelling values across the individual capital cities were recorded at:

  • Sydney: -8.1% (largest annual fall since May 1983)
  • Melbourne: -5.8% (largest annual fall since March 2009)
  • Brisbane: +0.3%
  • Adelaide: +1.4%
  • Perth: -4.2%
  • Hobart: +9.3%
  • Darwin: -0.8%
  • Canberra: +4.0%

Unlike previous housing market slowdowns which have typically been driven by an economic slowdown (such as the last recession or the GFC) or higher mortgage rates, this slowdown has been manufactured via tighter credit conditions while the economy continues to grow and mortgage rates sit at near record low levels. With access to money from banks and lenders being easy to come by over the last decade, more recently we are seeing increased scrutiny over lending practises and borrowing. Whereby investors and interest-only borrowers are now having to pay higher mortgage rates, borrowers with small deposits are finding it more difficult to obtain finance as are those with high levels of overall debt while all borrowers are having their expenses more forensically scrutinised before being given mortgages.

At the time this report was released, Cameron Kusher expects the outlook for 2019 to be more of the same. “The expectation is that there will be further value falls nationally with these declines largely being driven by Sydney and Melbourne however, value growth is expected to slow or remain stable in most other regions of the country on the back of the tighter credit conditions,” Mr Kusher says.
