Dr Nicola Powell, Data Scientist Buyers continue to be out in force through the winter months. A reflection they are helping to keep the pace of market strength through the traditionally quieter time of the year and utilising low interest rates. Banking regulators have enforced tighter lending standards, new loan applications are being scrutinised and a tougher stance is taken when assessing borrower income. Despite this, buyer activity has not been hampered. Vendors are taking advantage of the competition between prospective buyers with more homes listed for auction. The region had 793 homes scheduled for auction over the three winter months, a jump of 22 per cent compared to winter last year. It should be noted that the remediated Mr Fluffy blocks account for a portion of increased activity.

The new financial year has seen initiatives activated by the NSW Government designed to ignite entry-level activity. Stamp duty has now been axed in NSW for new and established homes up to the value of $650,000 with a sliding scale of concession in place for homes between $650,000 and $800,000. The latest housing finance data shows NSW first homebuyer activity has been ignited. A proportion of Canberrans could have contributed to this surge, hopping over the border to take full opportunity of the generous initiatives on offer.

Asking rents for two- to three-bedroom houses rose annually 3.7 per cent to $450 a week, four-plus bedroom houses rose 5.2 per cent to $590. Price hikes are tough for tenants, particularly whilst wages growth remains stagnant and the cost of living rises.

Only a few years ago the market experienced hefty falls to asking rent. Currently a tighter rental market makes for a different scenario today with asking prices rising annually. Ultimately, for some tenants the location, quality or size of home could become a compromise when in search of a lower price-point.
