Navigating Australia’s Property Market: Growth and Affordability Insights

Australian house prices have regained momentum in early 2024, signalling a persistent mismatch between demand and supply across various regions and cities. The pass-through of interest rate cuts from late last year has the potential to further accelerate price growth and turnover. However, amidst these developments, the pressing question remains: which market holds the greatest potential for growth near-term?

In this session, we’ll delve into prices, rents, affordability, supply, turnover, and demographics across capital city rings and regional locations in Australia. By analysing these factors, we aim to highlight the markets with the most significant growth potential.

Additionally, the session will address the significant deterioration in rental affordability, which has exacerbated cost-of-living pressures. The crucial question arises: can tenants withstand further increases without altering household formation patterns?

Watch this webinar as we explore these critical issues within the Australian residential property market.
