Australian Home Values Rebound in March Amid Market Shifts
by Matrix Capital Management
CoreLogic’s March Home Value Index (HVI) has been released with all the latest must-know property market metrics, including:
- Australian home values posted a 0.3% rise in February, ending a short-lived three-month downturn.
- Melbourne (0.4%) and Hobart (0.4%) led monthly gains, where home values have previously been among the weakest. For Melbourne, the lift breaks a streak of ten consecutive months of falls.
- The mid-sized capitals Brisbane (0.2%), Perth (0.3%) and Adelaide (0.3%) have conversely lost their mantle as the strongest growth markets.
- Sydney (0.3%) and Melbourne (0.4%) home values have rebounded, driven by each of their upper quartile markets.
- Regional housing markets (0.4%) value growth continued to outpace the combined capitals (0.3%) in February.
- National rents rose by 0.6% in February, the strongest monthly gain since May last year.
- Gross rental yields have lifted slightly to 3.72%, from recent low of 3.65%.
- While the RBA’s rate-cutting cycle is still fresh, lenders passing on lower mortgage rates should prove positive for housing markets and lift borrower confidence in the coming months.


Investments on your return
The Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) decision to lower the cash rate target to 4.1 per cent in February marked a significant shift in monetary policy, but the underlying message remains one of careful calibration, rather than wholesale easing.
The banks have acted immediately by reducing its variable rates but also have reduced its term deposits and saving rates.
Based on Canstar, on an average of $50,000 investment, the highest term deposit for a 2 year term is paying 4.60%.
“Finally, renters are seeing some relief after a period of extreme rental growth,” said Mr. Lawless. “Over the past five years, capital city rents have surged by 37%. The previous five-year period saw rents rise by just 5%.”
