Proudly supported by

QLD RESIDENTIAL MARKETS ON TRACK Over the second quarter of 2015, Queensland’s residential property markets continued along relatively the same trends seen since the start of the year.

The state’s strengthening centres continue to improve at steady and sustainable levels while our regional centres are beginning to show hints of recovery.

Outside Brisbane, the state’s tourism centres continue to perform strongly. The Gold and Sunshine coasts continue to record buoyant market conditions with investor activity picking up in both regions according to local agents.

Cairns and Fraser Coast also continue to show promising signs of firming market conditions, with average days on market and vendor discounting improving on a year ago for their respective unit markets which had struggled following the GFC.

Regional centres still continue to be impacted by the resources downturn, but many now look to have reached the bottom of the market. Local agents in Gladstone, Mackay and Townsville say the softer market conditions has started to entice more local buyers, with market confidence slowly but surely improving.

REIQ RESEARCH EXPLANATORY NOTESSALES MARKET DATA

All figures for the most recent quarterly and yearly periods are preliminary only and subject to further revision as additional sales records become available (see Research Methodology online at reiq.com).

As of the June quarter 2013, all sales data includes "Recent Sales" as advised by real estate agents as well as official records as advised by DNRM. As such comparisons with figures published prior to the June quarter 2013 should be done with caution.

A median sale price is derived by arranging a set of sale prices from lowest to highest and then selecting the middle value within this set (ie the 50th percentile, where half of recorded sales were less and half were higher than the median). Only suburbs and regions to record sufficient sales numbers

at the time of reporting are published.

N/ADue to insufficient sales numbers (as at the time of data extraction) no median sale price has been calculated

(LGA) Local Government Area

ON THE MARKET INDICATORS

At the time of publication, latest information available was for the 12 months ending the month prior to the current period.

"Days on Market" is calculated as the average number of days it has taken to sell those properties sold by private treaty sale during the 12 month period. The calculation excludes auction listings and listings where an asking price is not advertised. The days on market calculation uses the contract date on the property compared with the first advertised date.

"Vendor Discount" is the average difference between the contract price on a property and the first advertised price. The figure is expressed as a percentage and is an average of all private treaty sales which sold for less than their initial asking price during the last 12 months. Auction listings, listings without an advertised asking price and properties sold at or above list price are excluded from the calculation.

"Total Listings" is the total unique number of properties that have been advertised for sale and captured by RP Data over the 12 month period. To be included in the count, the listings have to be matched to an actual address.

"% Stock on Market" is the percentage of dwellings within the suburb or local government area that have been listed for sale over the past year.

STATE-WIDE SUMMARY CONTINUED

In the regional centres...the general feel on the ground is that the bottom of the market has been met.

First home buyers are taking advantage of the low interest rate environment and in regional centres are gaining confidence with increased housing affordability.

HOUSE MARKET

House sales activity in the strengthening markets of southeast Queensland continued to improve over the June quarter.

Brisbane continues to lead the way, with steady strong buyer demand and growing confidence across the board. Increased prestige sales and strong buyer demand in the $500,000-plus price point is leading to increased competition.

Over the quarter, the state’s capital city recorded a new record median house price of $610,000.

Brisbane surrounds also continues to record improving buyer demand, with Ipswich and Logan recording double digit growth in sales activity over the quarter and over the year to June.

On the market indicators however remain steady year on year and with listing numbers beginning to keep apace of buyer demand, property price growth is likely to proceed at healthy rates over the coming years.

Toowoomba’s house market appears to have taken the foot off the accelerator with sales volumes tapering off for a second consecutive quarter. Given the various projects in the pipeline, such as the going ahead of the second range crossing, local agents anticipate the region will continue to record consistent growth in its real estate market.

In the regional centres, sales activity is mixed, however the general feel on the ground is that the bottom of the market has been met. Some softening of prices may still occur for Mackay and Rockhampton however overall activity is likely to remain steady.

Due to low volume of sales, % changes should be used with caution.SNR - statistically not reliable. | N/A - not available due to insufficient sales numbersb The median sale price for vacant land in the Redland City LGA is significantly impacted by shifts in the number of property sales on the bay islands versus the number on the mainland in high quality subdivisions.

UNIT MARKET

Unit and townhouse markets around the state continue to follow behind the house market in their respective regions, with some making more ground than others.

Markets across Greater Brisbane performed well over the quarter with Ipswich, Logan and Redlands recording double digit growth in sales numbers. With investor activity said to be on the increase, the affordable end of the market is gaining the most traction, which is contributing to the trend in median sale prices.

On the Sunshine Coast, sales activity overall remained steady however improved turnover in the prestige end has contributed to increased median sale prices. While the Gold Coast recorded a drop, local agents say interstate investor enquiries have started to increase.

Outside of Greater Brisbane, the Fraser Coast is the star performer, with an improvement in sales activity over the quarter and year. Bundaberg and Gladstone also recorded stronger sales activity.

RENTAL MARKET

The REIQ’s Residential Rental survey for June revealed Brisbane and the southeast corner of the state remain steady with healthy-to-tight vacancy rates across all markets. Regional centers continue to stabilise, with hints of a recovery in some areas being reported.

In the southeast where sales markets are strengthening, vacancy rates are beginning to show signs of easing on the back of increased investor interest and softening tenant demand.

With concerns over the strong supply levels coming onto the market, the state of the inner Brisbane apartment market remains a hot topic of conversation. However, with significantly improved survey participation levels resulting in a greater sample size, the REIQ’s survey found that vacancy levels have remained in check since the end of March at around three per cent.

For the most part, the tourism centres saw an easing in vacancy rates, with the Sunshine Coast proving the exception with its vacancy rate dropping to 1.6 per cent at the end of June. Despite increased investor interest, tenant demand remains strong with the various developments under way.

BRISBANE MARKET UPDATES

BRISBANE CITYOver the June quarter, Brisbane’s residential market continued to record healthy growth both in sales volumes and median sale prices.

Average days on market and vendor discount remained relatively unchanged compared to the previous quarter, indicating that the Brisbane property market is improving at a sustainable rate.

Local agents say a lack of listings is still present most notably in the house market, with demand strongest in the $500,000 to $1 million price point.

The outlook for the state’s capital city is positive as we move into the warmer months and the typically higher sales activity over the Spring through to Christmas period.

HOUSE MARKET

Over the June quarter 2015, Brisbane’s median house price recorded an increase of 5.2 per cent to $610,000. This result is the strongest so far recorded since the recovery began two years ago.

While sales in the $1 million-plus bracket continue to grow steadily, price point data shows a significant trend upwards in activity in the $500,000 to $1 million segment of the house market. According to local agents bracket creep is starting to occur, due to improving house prices and the continued supply and demand imbalance.

House listings hard to come by and anything that comes onto the market in under $500,000 spends little to no time on the market.

Average days on market and average vendor discounting rates, which are calculated over the 12-month period, are yet to reflect this uplift in the market over the most recent quarter. Both of these market indicators remained relatively stable compared to the March 2015 report. However the trend of houses selling at or above the list price (which excludes them from vendor discounting statistics) is improving.

Houses are rare within the 5km ring and those that do reach the market are snapped up for more than $500,000. Meanwhile, in the middle ring suburbs properties that were once in the mid-$400,000s are now selling for more than $500,000. This is contributing to the increase in sales in this price point and the increase in Brisbane’s overall median house price.

Compared to a year ago total house listings have increased slightly, up three per cent, indicating growing confidence amongst vendors. However based upon what local agents are saying, it still remains a seller’s market especially in the $500,000-plus bracket.

UNIT MARKET

Over the quarter, the median sale price of units and townhouses in Brisbane remained relatively steady, up just 0.1 per cent to $425,000.

Local agents say established units in the sub-$400,000 price range have been the hardest to sell give the current level of new supply.

The unit and townhouse market is said to still be trailing that of the Brisbane house sales market in terms of price growth, with new stock continuing to come onto the market.

Despite this, sales activity over the quarter was up nine per cent with the inner ring recording the strongest increase in sales activity, up 14 per cent compared to the previous quarter.

In the middle to outer ring suburbs, local agents report units located close to public transport nodes continue to be in strong demand.

Average vendor discounting for units in Brisbane remains lower than the rate for house sales, at 4.8 per cent. While average days on market continue to remain around the 65-day mark.

RENTAL MARKET

As anticipated by many, Brisbane’s rental market is beginning to show signs of easing tenant demand as more tenants take the opportunity of low interest rates to move into home ownership.

The increased level of supply in the inner apartment market is also contributing to the softening of rents. The impact of increasing supply hasn’t been fully realised in the market with local agents saying rental incentives are helping attract tenants.

According to figures from the RTA median weekly rents softened for three bedroom houses and two bedroom flats, while three bedroom townhouses remained steady.

With unit prices yet to start increasing, gross rental yields for units have remained steady at 4.9 per cent over the June quarter. In comparison, the gross rental yield for Brisbane houses was down to 3.6 per cent on the back of easing median weekly rents and a strong increase in the median house price.

Local agents say a lack of listings is still present most notably in the...$500,000 to $1 million price point.

Brisbane Statistical Division, or Greater Brisbane (incorporating Brisbane LGA with Moreton Bay Region, Ipswich, Logan and Redlands), continues to perform strongly, with healthy increases in sales volumes across all council areas. Sales activity has picked up in areas such as Ipswich and Logan with investors attracted by the strong rental returns being achieved.

With house prices strengthening in metropolitan Brisbane, many home buyers are also looking to the outer regions for greater value for money. Improvements to infrastructure continue to boost buyer demand in the Moreton Bay region, while Redland City also continues to record consistent sales turnover growth quarter on quarter.

Listing numbers across the Brisbane SD were up for both houses and units, indicating that confidence is gaining momentum. Meanwhile, stable average days on market and average vendor discounting rates indicate the growth across the state’s capital is within a healthy and sustainable range.

HOUSE MARKET

With house medians now nearly half that of Brisbane, it comes as no surprise that areas such as Ipswich and Logan are gaining in popularity with both home buyers and investors.

Both regions recorded strong increases in sales activity over the quarter and year to June, with Logan recording the highest increase in its median house price for the greater Brisbane region.

Investors are being attracted to the two regions given their relative affordable house prices and the strong rental yields being achieved.

While Redland City recorded the lowest increase in sales activity, growth in its median house price compared to one and five years ago indicate the region is leading the way. While average days on market have edged out compared to a year ago, growing confidence is bringing vendors who are keen to test the market. Average vendor discounting in the region has likewise increased marginally also.

Moreton Bay continues to hold the fastest days on market though and not surprisingly, also holds the lowest rates of vendor discounting. With an increase of 1.5 per cent, the region’s median house price tipped over the $400,000 mark – levels not seen since the last peak in the market in 2009 for the region.

With vendors growing more confident that now is the time to sell – and buy for those looking to upgrade – listing numbers are up five per cent over the year.

UNIT MARKET

Most unit markets across Greater Brisbane outperformed their respective house markets with stronger increases in sales turnover. Across the region, total unit and townhouse sales were up 8 per cent however with only Moreton Bay recording steady sales activity compared to the previous quarter.

Infill townhouse developments remain popular as investors and developers alike take advantage of the low interest rate environment.

Listing numbers across the region were up 10 per cent on the previous year reflecting this increased activity. And with buyer demand strengthening, average days on market have come down to 75 days. Ipswich recorded the greatest improvement, down 15 days to 117 days, followed by Moreton Bay and Redland, both seeing units spending 6 less days on the market.

As in the house market, Redland City appears to be leading the way in unit and townhouse sales with the lowest days on market and average vendor discounting rate.

RENTAL MARKET

In the southeast where sales markets are strengthening, vacancy rates are beginning to show signs of easing on the back of increased investor interest and softening tenant demand.

All council areas in the Greater Brisbane region except Redland City recorded slight increases in vacancies.

Strong rental yields on the back of relatively affordable property prices are said to be attracting investors to the likes of Logan and Ipswich. As a result, vacancy levels have started to rise in these areas.

Moreton Bay remains the most tight rental market, with its vacancy rate marginally up 0.1 percentage points to 1.4 per cent. Caboolture has taken over from Pine Rivers with the lowest vacancy rate of just 1 per cent at the end of June.

Median weekly rents according to figures from the RTA are holding relatively steady across most regions over the quarter.

MAR 15 JUN 15

The Gold Coast property market continues to go from strength to strength with sales activity strong over the June quarter.

According to local agents confidence levels are on the improve with an air of continued optimism among buyers and sellers.

Confidence is buoyed by infrastructure projects, plus commercial and residential projects currently under way, strengthening the employment landscape for the region.

Consistent market conditions in the lead-up to the Commonwealth Games are encouraging signs for the overall Gold Coast property market.

HOUSE MARKET

Over the June quarter, the Gold Coast house market recorded its fourth consecutive quarterly increase in preliminary sales numbers.

Similar to Brisbane, this trend in activity has been most notable in the $500,000 to sub-$1 million price point. From the start of the recovery in June 2013 to the June quarter this year, this price point has seen increase of 396 sales or 138 per cent.

According to local agents, buyer demand for properties priced $500,000 to $600,000 is strongest with multiple offers becoming common place.

Top selling suburb over the year to June was Upper Coomera, where home buyers are able to get more for their money – a large four or five bedroom home for fraction of the price of those located closer to the central business and tourism strip.

Other top performing suburbs include Southport, Pimpama and Pacific Pines.

The average days on market statistic has held its ground at 72 days while average vendor discounting has also held relatively steady around six per cent.

Vendor optimism is strengthened by the improving market conditions, which is seeing total house listings increase. Over the year to May 2015, house listing numbers had increased eight per cent.

UNIT MARKET

While quarterly sales activity hasn’t been as consistent for the Gold Coast unit and townhouse market, the overall trend is on the rise.

Over the June quarter unit sales activity was down 18 per cent, however over the year to June, preliminary sales numbers were up 10 per cent.

The region’s median sale price eased slightly over the quarter, down 1.4 per cent on the back of increased investor activity at the affordable end of the market.

According to local agents, interstate investor interest has started to increase, in both the low and high rise unit market.

The strength of the Gold Coast’s unit market was evident in four of the region’s suburbs recording the highest increase in preliminary sales activity state-wide.

Over the year to June, Surfers Paradise recorded the highest increase up about 140 sales, followed by Varsity Lakes (up 100), Labrador and Coomera (both about 75 sales).

RENTAL MARKET

With renewed investor activity on the Gold Coast, vacancy rates have started to show signs of easing.

At 2.3 per cent however, rental market conditions are still considered relatively tight, with tenant demand remaining strong due to the continued improving employment opportunities on the Gold Coast.

According to local agents the more affordable regions such as Coomera and Pimpama are most popular, with tenant enquiry levels the strongest they’ve seen in years.

Compared to the June quarter last year, median weekly rents are up across the board, with the highest increase recorded for three-bedroom flats, up $30 to $430 per week. All other rental types were up $10 to $20 over the period.

MAR 15 JUN 15

Toowoomba’s residential property market has tapered off with sales activity across both the house and unit markets easing for two consecutive quarters. A drop in overall confidence is behind the easing in conditions, although property prices are holding steady despite this.

Toowoomba has always remained a region that records steady movements, and looking ahead the outlook remains the same. The going ahead of the second range crossing is likely to provide the region a boost of confidence with the flow-on effect to employment opportunities despite the likelihood of workers camps and fly-in fly-out workers.

Local sub-contracting businesses will be the winners here, which is where local jobs are anticipated to be created from this significant infrastructure project.

HOUSE MARKET

Over the June quarter, Toowoomba’s median house price remained relatively stable, down 0.8 per cent to $351,000. Sales activity was also down, both over the quarter and over the year.

Sales activity has tapered off across all price points, with the sub-$350,000 price range the most affected. This, however, is likely due to the recent improvement in overall property prices, with properties selling within the $350,000 to $500,000 price range recording the greatest increase in activity over the past two years.

Average days on market have remained relatively steady at 65 days, while average vendor discounting for house sales stretched out to 4.9 per cent. Despite this, the region remains the fastest selling outside of metropolitan Brisbane along with the lowest vendor discounting across the state.

Listing numbers have come down compared to a year ago, with local agents saying that new listings are hard to come by. Vendors are said to be cautious at present, not willing to sell at this point in time.

UNIT MARKET

Toowoomba’s unit market has similarly taken its foot off the accelerator, with sales activity also down over the quarter. The region’s median unit sale price eased 3.9 per cent, as the volume of new dwelling sales trails off with investor activity reportedly easing.

With an abundance of new developments having taken place in recent years, the unit market is said to be in oversupply. According to the latest on-the-market indicators however, this is beginning to correct itself. Compared to a year ago, the total number of listings has come down 11 per cent, bringing total percentage of unit stock on market down to 7.2 per cent.

Over that same period, average days on market have also improved, down to 70 days, evidence that buyer demand for units and townhouses continues to remain at healthy levels in Toowoomba.

RENTAL MARKET

The state’s top performing regional rental market, Toowoomba remained relatively unchanged over the three months to June, down 0.1 percentage points to 3.1 per cent vacancy.

According to local agents, the unit market is driving the current oversupply with many developments more geared for investment purchase.

Tenant demand is also said to be weaker, with first home buyers on the move alongside a drop in mining employment in the region. Local agents say landlords seeking uninterrupted rental income are being encouraged to reduce their asking rent to ensure continuity.

Future demand for rental property however is likely to continue as Toowoomba’s population continues to grow boosted by its relative affordability and improving local infrastructure.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES

JUNE QUARTER 2015

SUNSHINE COASTThe Sunshine Coast and Noosa continue to perform strongly, in line with trends throughout the rest of southeast Queensland.

Sales activity continues to push upwards with the unit market now following the house market showing healthy increases in median sale prices.

According to local agents buyer demand remained strong over the quarter with investor activity gathering momentum.

The development of the $2 billion University Hospital precinct continues to attract investors to the region, from both interstate and overseas. Meanwhile, more developments are commencing, which is boosting overall confidence.

HOUSE MARKET

Outside Greater Brisbane, Noosa was the top performing region in terms of increased sales activity over the quarter, up 12 per cent. While the Sunshine Coast recorded a slight easing of activity, down five per cent, overall activity continues to trend upwards.

Median house prices have largely been influenced by different segments of the market performing more strongly than others. Local agents say the executive and prestige end of the market are taking longer to sell.

Average days on market remains at 88 days for house sales, while average vendor discounting also remained steady at 5.9 per cent. Both market indicators are trending downwards compared to a year ago.

This coupled with an increase in house listings over the year (up six per cent), is evidence that the Sunshine Coast region is gathering momentum.

UNIT MARKET

The unit and townhouse markets on the Sunshine Coast have now picked up in activity, following the trends seen in the house market.

The Noosa region over the quarter and last 12 months looks to be outperforming the rest of the Sunshine Coast, however its unit market still has some way to go from the impact the GFC had on its investors.

The unit market is continuing to improve, with average days on market and average vendor discounting rates improved on a year ago for the Sunshine Coast region as a whole.

Unit listing numbers have increased by five per cent compared with a year ago, which local agents say is reflective of the growing confidence on the Sunshine Coast.

Over the June quarter the Noosa saw an increase of 9.2 per cent in its median unit sale price on the back of an increase in prestige unit sales, while the Sunshine Coast recorded a healthy increase of 3.4 per cent.

Buyer demand in the prestige end remains strong with the $500,000 plus and $1-million plus price ranges the only segments to record an increase in activity over the quarter.

RENTAL MARKET

While other tourism centres experienced easing vacancy rates, the Sunshine Coast vacancy rate dropped to 1.6 per cent at the end of June.

Tightening vacancies was most acute in the Maroochy coastal region, which was down 0.7 percentage points to 1.2 per cent. This is despite reports investor interest in the area has increased.

Noosa, on the other hand, increased its vacancy rate 2.2 per cent – its highest level in two years. According to local agents, this is a typical trend heading into the winter months.

According to RTA data, median weekly rents have remained steady, despite the tight rental conditions.

Demand for rental properties is set to continue as the region continues to gather momentum with multiple new developments both commercial and residential under way.

FRASER COASTThe Fraser Coast residential property market is on the improve, according to the latest June quarter figures. Local agents are also reporting improving confidence amongst home buyers and sellers.

As a result, more vendors are recognising the good selling conditions, with more listings coming onto the market. Other market indicators remain relatively stable, indicating that the movement in sales activity is just the beginning of the region’s recovery.

First-home buyers and upgraders are said to be making the move, while investors are said to still be in low numbers but are starting to show more interest.

With Queensland’s tourism industry improving in general on the back of the weak Australian dollar, local agents are becoming more aware of the need to be more responsive to visitors to the region who may become potential buyers.

Local council is also reportedly looking at new tourism initiatives in a bid to offer visitors a larger variety of activities. This will also hopefully help place the Fraser Coast region to become an attractive place to invest and live.

The outlook for the region is very positive with local agents saying that there is a definite feeling that the market is gaining momentum.

HOUSE MARKET

Over the quarter house sales activity was down 11 per cent, however the long-term trend remains in positive territory, with sales for the year up six per cent.

Local agents say that the mood on the ground remains very positive and with increased buyer enquiry levels since the end of June, this drop was merely a brief pause in the market.

Upper end sales according to price point data were up over the quarter, pushing the region’s overall median house price up 4.9 per cent.

The region’s stable median house price, compared with a year ago, is further evidence that the region is still in recovery mode. The Fraser Coast is also the only tourism centre in Queensland to record a drop in its annual median compared to five years ago.

On-the-market indicators are also holding stubbornly steady, however, they are beginning to show small signs of improvement.

UNIT MARKET

Over the June quarter, the Fraser Coast’s unit and townhouse market took no pause in activity, with preliminary sales numbers up an extra 17 sales on the previous quarter.

While unit sales are still well below the highs recorded at the last peak in the market, in 2007 numbers are tracking at levels not seen for more than five years.

All price points recorded an increase in activity over the quarter, with the $250,000 to $350,000 bracket recording the highest increase. This along with an increase in prestige unit sales saw the region record an increase of 6.2 per cent in its median unit sale price.

Compared to a year ago, average days on market for unit sales have improved significantly, down 22 days – the best improvement of all major centres in Queensland unit markets.

Average vendor discounting also recorded the highest state-wide improvement, down 1.4 percentage points to six per cent.

RENTAL MARKET

The Fraser Coast’s overall rental market remains in weak conditions with Maryborough recording 4.6 per cent. Hervey Bay on the other hand remains in healthy territory, despite levels easing to 2.8 per cent at the end of June.

According to local agents, investor activity has picked up somewhat in Maryborough, with good rental returns said to be a key draw card.

Despite the weak market conditions, rental listings are only spending on average two to four weeks on the market with two to five applicants per listing.

Latest figures from the RTA show median rents have remained relatively steady compared to a year ago, with three-bedroom houses up $5 to $285 and three-bedroom townhouses up $10 to $320 per week.

The optimism surrounding Bundaberg at the start of the year is yet to convert into compelling improvement in market conditions, according to the latest June quarter figures.

Sales activity is beginning to show signs of a recovery, however the trend in average days on market and average vendor discounting has failed to improve significantly.

According to local agents, Bundaberg has certainly levelled off and with the new commercial projects coming online, the rest of 2015 looks promising.

Overall confidence continues to improve with new employment opportunities set to come out of these new commercial developments. Meanwhile town planning initiatives from council allowing small subdivisions has reportedly resulted in some speculative buying of older homes on large blocks.

The strengthening cattle price is also improving confidence in the rural sector, which local agents believe will flow onto the rest of the market.

With the most affordable median house price and median rents of the major regional centres, Bundaberg will likely continue to attract new residents and investors.

HOUSE MARKET

Over the June quarter, house sales activity remained relatively stable, down marginally by one per cent compared with the previous quarter.

Following an increase in its median house price over the first quarter this year, Bundaberg’s median dropped back 2.4 per cent over the June quarter to $276,250. Local agents believe Bundaberg’s affordability will boost its attractiveness to owner occupiers and investors.

As pointed out in the March quarter report, the trend in average days on market and average vendor discounting rate is still looking to find level ground. House listing numbers, however, have held steady over the year indicating there is a relatively even balance between supply and demand.

The lower end of the market is said to be the most active with investor activity picking up according to local agents. Large blocks that meet the council’s new subdivision guidelines are being snapped up by speculative developers, particularly those located within the better suburbs.

UNIT MARKET

Unlike the house market, Bundaberg’s unit and townhouse market increased in activity over the June quarter, up an extra 12 sales on the previous quarter.

According to local agents, investors are once again looking with interest at the Bundaberg property market. They are said to be targeting the affordable end of the market, which is likely behind the drop in the region’s overall median unit sale price over the quarter.

Unit sales in the sub-$250,000 price point were up over the quarter, with the median sales price dropping 8.4 per cent to $212,000.

Listing numbers have held relatively steady over the year, with average days on market stretching out to 150 days and average vendor discounting up to 8.9 per cent.

RENTAL MARKET

Bundaberg’s rental market is still finding its feet with the vacancy rate at the end of June up 0.5 percentage points to 4.6 per cent.

The outlook however remains positive according to local agents. Tenant demand is said to be slowly strengthening with new developments in the area likely to give a boost to local employment opportunities.

With steady median rents, the region’s gross yield for units of 5.5 per cent is the highest for regional Queensland, outside of the tourist centres.

MAR 15 JUN 15

There are some small signs to indicate that the bottom of the market has been met, including continued stable conditions and improved sales turnover.

With softened property prices and low interest rates, first home buyers are becoming more active, encouraged by family to take advantage of the great buying opportunities in Gladstone.

Although market indicators point to improving conditions, local agents expect it will still be a few years before Gladstone’s residential property market enters the recovery phase.

The downturn of the mining industry has had a significant impact on the rental market with the full effects of ex-mining company owned properties still yet to be seen.

The level of investor activity also remains at record lows – creating an imbalance in the marketplace. Where investors reportedly once made up 60 per cent of the market, they are now next to none.

On the upside, local owner occupiers are recognizing the value for money in current property prices with many viewing the market as a very good time to buy.

The outlook for the region is ultimately one of continued stable conditions with slowly improved confidence amongst local residents.

HOUSE MARKET

Over the June quarter, the Gladstone house market sales activity increased five per cent with its median house price holding relatively steady.

According to local agents property prices have softened, with houses once selling in the low-$400,000s now selling for high-$300,000s. This is anecdotal evidence is supported by the price point data which reveals an increased proportion of sales occurring in the sub-$350,000 price range.

An additional indicator that suggests the bottom has been met is the small improvement in average days on market, now at 106 days, compared to 117 a year ago. Average vendor discounting has also improved for the first time down 0.5 percentage points to 9.3 per cent over the same period.

Local agents are cautiously optimistic about the market at present, knowing that there is still some time before the market picks up again. However, they are confident that the bottom has been met and many buyers are beginning to take advantage of it.

UNIT MARKET

Gladstone’s unit and townhouse market has also signaled that the bottom has been met with a small improvement in sales activity over the June quarter. The region also posted a 5.9 percent increase in its median sale price to $250,000 on the back of some higher end townhouse sales.

Typical of most unit markets, Gladstone’s is yet to show the same promising improvements in average days on market and average vendor discounting as seen in the house market.

This segment of the market is typically targeted by investors, which local agents report are all but non-existent in the current market.

Listing numbers have improved compared to a year ago, signaling that the current supply is being slowly absorbed.

RENTAL MARKET

Gladstone’s vacancy rate saw a sharp increase since the end of March – something many local agents had been anticipating with the slow release of ex-mining owned properties into the rental pool.

Even though there are no new developments adding to stock levels, it is expected that additional mining company-owned stock will come onto the market. This may exacerbate current vacancy levels which had come down to 3.8 per cent, but at the end of June was 5.2 per cent.

Median weekly rents have also gone through a significant price correction, which is making rental properties once again affordable. Compared to a year ago all median rents have come down by at least $15. Compared to the peak in the market over 2012-2013, the largest drop has been for three-bedroom townhouses, down from $600 per week to $325 per week.

...local owner occupiers are recognizing the value for money in current property prices .

Latest figures for the Rockhampton region indicate more of the same seen so far this calendar year with house sales activity marginally up on the previous quarter.

According to local agents the market is remains stable with market conditions very much as they were over the March quarter. There is promising signs however with the strengthening cattle industry and the low Aussie dollar – with beef exports improving.

Overall confidence still remains subdued with the region in need of a boost in employment opportunities, despite the improvements in the rural sector.

HOUSE MARKET

House sales numbers over the June quarter were up two per cent with the median house price down just one per cent to $297,000.

This level of sales activity is consistent with that recorded over the previous two quarters, indicating that the Rockhampton property market has reached a stable period at the bottom of its cycle.

Vendor confidence is said to still be low, with listing numbers still markedly down on that record a year prior.

Average days on market and average vendor discounting have likewise pushed out further however local agents feel that these indicators should also start to stabilise over the coming months.

Local agents report signs of improving buyer confidence though, with sales enquiries since the end of the June quarter picking up. This improvement is likely attributed to the improving cattle industry and export industry as a whole for both beef and cattle.

Employment opportunities however are still an area of concern with the need to diversify its industries necessary for the regions recovery from the mining downturn.

UNIT MARKET

Rockhampton’s unit and townhouse market continues to underperform the house market with sales activity still at record lows.

Over the June quarter, the region recorded only 14 preliminary unit sales, giving insufficient numbers to record a reliable median for the quarter.

For the year ending June however, the median house price was up 1.4 per cent and up 32.8 per cent compared to one and five years ago respectively. The new unit developments

that have come onto the market have dramatically changed the scope of the region’s unit market.

In line with activity in the house market, unit listings have also declined compared to the previous year. Stock on market sits at just 6.9 per cent, one of the lowest in regional Queensland, indicating that vendors are continuing to ride out the current lull in the market.

RENTAL MARKET

At the end of June, Rockhampton’s residential rental market recorded a vacancy rate of six per cent. After showing signs of improvement and stabilisation over the past four quarters, the jump over the three months to June is said to be exacerbated by the continued oversupply of stock in the Gracemere area.

On the back of vacancy rates being in excess of four per cent for eight consecutive quarters, median rents have returned to levels seen five years ago, according to latest figures from the RTA.

The June quarter saw further drop off in sales activity for Mackay however given the trend in house sales over the past 12 months, local agents remain optimistic that the bottom of the market has been met.

While market indicators are yet to point to any signs of improvement, local agents report a lift in buyer enquiry, largely from first home buyers who are recognising the great buying opportunities currently present.

There has also said to have been a shift in the property market. With investors shying away, Mackay has returned to a local buyers’ market. With no speculative investors around local agents say market conditions are stable and overall confidence is up on a tough 2014.

The mining sector continues to struggle with political issues delaying new mining projects. Job security in this sector continues to create uncertainty for the local economy. Many are reportedly seeing their jobs shift from permanent full time to casual.

There is a growing awareness that more diverse industries in Mackay are needed to ensure more sustainable economic growth for the region moving forward.

HOUSE MARKET

Over the June quarter, Mackay’s house market saw a drop in house sales activity, down 20 per cent on the previous quarter. Properties priced under $350,000 are said to be selling well, however local agents say there has been some bracket creep with softening prices.

More first home buyers are said to be taking advantage of the lower prices, particularly where mortgage-distress sales are occurring.

Despite this, local agents do feel that the overall mood is better than last year, with confidence slowly recovering.

House listing numbers have come down slightly compared to a year ago; however average days on market and average vendor discounting rates have edged out further since March.

UNIT MARKET

Unit sales in Mackay also saw a drop in activity over the June quarter, with sales numbers remaining at historically low levels.

This is said to be largely attributed to a dip in investor activity in the region. With low buyer enquiry levels, only those that need to sell are putting their unit or townhouse on the market.

Listing numbers are up slightly on the previous year however average days on market and average vendor discounting rates are beginning to show signs of improvement. This however is likely attributed to vendors becoming more realistic in their initial list price and the need to meet the market in order to sell.

RENTAL MARKET

At the end of June Mackay recorded its second consecutive drop in its vacancy rate, down 0.3 percentage points since the end of March to 9.1 per cent.

While an oversupply is evidently still in play, local agents say easing rental prices are stimulating a slow recovery in tenant demand.

Similar to Gladstone, Mackay’s median weekly rents from the RTA have returned to pre-boom levels, with median weekly rents across all property types down around $200 since the market peaked over 2012-2013.

Local agents also feel the bottom of the market has been met and things should improve moving forward.

...the overall mood is better than last year, with confidence slowly recovering.

TOWNSVILLE LAND SALES (p)

MAR 15 JUN 15

Stable yet subdued conditions still prevail in Townsville with listing numbers almost double that of sales turnover for the year ending June.

Local agents say the overall economic climate in Townsville is tougher than seen a year ago; however there is a feeling of stabilisation in the market.

Buyers are said to be gaining more confidence, with local upgraders, in particular, recognising good buying opportunities with the current interest rate environment and softer property prices.

Since the end of the June quarter, buyer enquiry levels have reportedly improved with local agents anticipating a stronger market for the rest of 2015 as the usual influx of new residents move to the region.

HOUSE MARKET

House sales activity over the June quarter showed a small sign of improvement in Mackay, up three per cent on the previous quarter.

With local upgraders recognising now is as good a time as any to buy, local agents say there has been healthier turnover in the higher price points in recent months.

Properties selling well are those that are keenly priced as buyer demand is reportedly starting to show signs of improvement. According to local agents, in such cases multiple offers are occurring, further indication that confidence is slowly improving.

Average days on market remain relatively stable up only five days on last year. Average vendor discounting however has increased to 8.7 per cent.

Local agents anticipate listing numbers to tighten over the balance of this year, which should result in continued stable market conditions.

UNIT MARKET

Like other regional centres, Townsville’s unit and townhouse market continues to record softer buyer demand and overall activity.

Over the quarter, preliminary sales numbers were down 24 per cent with the median sale price increasing 14 per cent on the back of some higher end sales transactions in the Townsville city centre.

Over the year to June, activity was down just seven percent, however, a number of suburbs recorded an increase in activity, including North Ward, Belgian Gardens and Pimlico.

Average days on market have held relatively steady at around 125 days, while average vendor discounting has improved on last year, down 0.2 percentage points to 9.4 per cent.

RENTAL MARKET

After a spike in vacancies at the end of March, Townsville’s vacancy rate dropped 0.6 percentage points to 5.3 per cent at the end of June.

Local agents report continued oversupply and softening of asking rents. Various incentives are reportedly being offered, however a number of agents say that tenants are more concerned with the ongoing rental price, with job uncertainty still a major issue for the region.

According to the RTA’s latest figures for the quarter, median weekly rents have come down $20 compared to last year for house and unit rentals. Townhouse rentals have fared better, with two bedroom townhouses up $10 to $280 per week and three bedroom townhouses down just $10 to $335 per week.

...there is a feeling of stabilisation in the market.

The Cairns residential property market continues to see steady conditions prevail with certain segments of the market outperforming others.

According to local agents, general confidence in the market is improving. The tourism market is said to be slowly but surely recovering, although it still has some way to go. Further improvement in gross yields for holiday accommodation will likely see new hotel developments pick up again.

Local agents say that Cairns is seeing a balanced property market between buyers and vendors, which is resulting in stable days on market and average vendor discounting rates.

Listing numbers over the year have also held steady for both houses and units reflecting this equilibrium. The region also holds the lowest level of excess supply of all major regions in Queensland.

The outlook for the region is said to be reasonably positive, with continued improving market conditions expected for the balance of the year.

HOUSE MARKET

Over the June quarter, the Cairns house market saw sales activity ease slightly, down four per cent, however over the year to June sales numbers were up five per cent. The region’s median house price meanwhile remained unchanged over the quarter at $390,000.

The prestige end of the house sales market has performed well, with buyer enquiries strong in the $2-million plus bracket. Buyers are reportedly seeing value for money once more in this end of the market. Over the June quarter, three homes sold for in excess of $1 million dollars.

Properties priced between $300,000 and $1 million are spending longer on the market, according to local agents. Overall however, average days on market have improved to 65 days – now equalling Toowoomba as the fastest-selling regional centre.

Average vendor discounting has pushed out slightly over the three months to June to 6.1 per cent. This is said to be largely due to some vendors beginning to test the market by listing at a higher price.

UNIT MARKET

In the unit market, the affordable end is performing strongest with relatively affordable prices offsetting the ongoing costs that in recent years have deterred investors from the unit market.

Overall volumes are up 17 per cent compared to the March quarter, with the median sale price remaining steady at $219,500.

According to local agents, investors are once more focusing on the Cairns unit market, with the inner city receiving the most attention. Listings however are reportedly slow at coming onto the market, indicating that this segment of the Cairns property market will see steady improvements moving forward.

Unlike the house market, Cairns’ unit and townhouse market has recorded an improvement in its average vendor discounting rate, down 0.7 percentage points to seven per cent over the 12 months to May 2015.

Average days on market have likewise seen strong improvement, down 11 days compared to a year ago.

RENTAL MARKET

At the end of June, the REIQ’s residential rental survey found Cairns vacancy rate had eased further, to 2.7 per cent – the highest the region has seen in more than three years.

Local agents say tenant demand has softened coupled with new unit developments adding to supply. While investors are buying in Cairns once more, current investors are taking advantage of the improved market conditions and selling their properties.

According to figures from the RTA, median rents remain healthy despite the easing vacancy rate. As a result gross yields have improved significantly for both house and unit rentals. At 6.2 per cent, Cairns’ gross house yield is the highest of all major regions. While a gross unit yield of 5.8 per cent ranks second, after Logan City’s 5.9 per cent for the June quarter.
