The latest Australian property market report reveals an encouraging sign: national house prices are steadily recovering and reaching new highs. This change is the result of a market correction and a testament to the return of confidence among buyers and sellers.
House price rebound: national trend
According to the latest data from real estate data analysis company PropTrack, after a period of rapid decline, national house prices have now recovered and hit a new high. In September, national house prices rose by 0.38%, bringing the increase so far this year to 4.31%. This turnaround is due to the tight rental market and the shortage of housing supply.
Expert opinion: Market outlook is optimistic
Eleanor Creagh, senior economic analyst at PropTrack, said record net overseas migration, a tight rental market and a housing shortage were the main factors driving house prices higher. Coupled with the fact that interest rates may have peaked, continued population growth and a shortage of new homes, property prices are expected to continue to rise.
