Growing regions

Detailed in CoreLogic’s Property Pulse report, the results of the CoreLogic Home Value Index shows that regional Victorian and Tasmanian regions were ripe with dwelling value growth over the year to November 2018.

CoreLogic analyst Cameron Kusher said that these regional areas were seeing increased attraction given the market softening across the country (occurring mostly in capital cities).

The top spot was taken out by Tasmania’s south-east region, where values rose by 16.3 per cent over the period, the only region in the top 50 list to see a value increase of more than 15 per cent.

Second and third places were also in Tasmania; the Brighton region at 14.8 per cent and North West Hobart at 14.3 per cent.

In fact, out of the top 15 places, 10 were from Tasmania.

Meanwhile, Victoria took out three places and Queensland and NSW had once place each.

Declining regions

Meanwhile, out of the top 50 declining regions, just under half (23) recorded double-digit value declines.

Outback Southern Queensland took out the bottom spot, with a value decline of 15.6 per cent, followed by Far North Queensland (14.5 per cent) and then a tie between the Dural-Wisemans Ferry regions and Pennant Hills-Epping regions, both in NSW (14.2 per cent each).

NSW was featured heavily, with over half of the value decline regions (28) found in the eastern state.

Other declining value regions included Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

Looking ahead

Mr Kusher said that the outlook for the housing market was one of further weakness adding that he expects more regions to record declines by November 2019.

“More affordable regional housing markets with healthy or improving economic and demographic conditions are expected to hold up better in terms of growth than the more expensive and weaker capital city housing markets,” Mr Kusher said.
