Tale of two Sydneys as property divide widens




February 18, 2007  Michelle Singer



SYDNEY'S two-speed property market could continue this year as mortgagee-in-possession sales drag down the lower end of the market.

An Australian Property Monitors rating of the growth of property values of about 700 suburbs in 2006 shows the city's affluent enclaves surged ahead, while areas in the west and south-west languished.

The outstanding performer, Palm Beach, which experienced growth of up to 35 per cent in its median house price, is predicted to achieve a further 9 per cent or more in value in 2007.

Other suburbs expected to grow 6 to 9 per cent in value include Collaroy, North Manly and Darling Point.

By contrast, houses in Grays Point are expected to drop between 8 and 5 per cent, while Carss Park and Monterey are set to experience falls of up to 7 per cent. APM operations manager Michael McNamara summed up 2006 it as a "tale of two cities".

Cashed-up buyers paid top dollar for quality properties, helping harbour and beachside areas to flourish. But, in the west and south-west there were twice as many auctions in 2006 as 2005, reflecting the large number of mortgagee-in-possession sales, which had softened prices in these areas.

"This year we think the inner city areas will continue to feel pressure, whether that's pressure on renting or on house prices," Mr McNamara said. " Properties on the city outskirts will continue to be weak, not only because of the socioeconomic differences but also because the . . . transport links are so poor there's no incentive for people to live further out of town."

Overall Sydney's median house price increased 1 per cent in the 12 months to December 2006 - from $524,000 to $526,000 - while the median unit price dropped 3 per cent to $352,000. Max Walls International agent Anthony Walls said growth estimates for 2007 in the northern beaches were "conservative", with extreme levels of interest already being shown.

"There's a lot of young money coming in," he said. "I spend so much time out of Australia and I can see that we just take what we've got for granted. Foreigners come in here and can't believe the prices."

The median house price in East Hills, near Bankstown, dropped 16 per cent last year to $420,000. Although the area is predicted to drop another 5 per cent this year, PRD Nationwide Riverview's Jerry Kurzveil said business was up on 2006.

"I think prices will be stable this year but I can't see them going up before 2008," he said.

"There's a possibility they will go down because there's a lot of mortgagee possession sales coming on."

Beach and water views attract all the dollars



Date: February 21     2007  Sydney Morning Herald


Sydney's best performing suburbs will surge in value by more than 9 per cent in 2007, new figures reveal.

The 2007 Sydney Property Guide, published in the Sun-Herald, rates the projected change in house and unit values in about 700 suburbs across the city.

And while owners of beach- and water-views in the east and north will thrive, the outlook is bleaker elsewhere in the city.

The data, compiled exclusively by Australian Property Monitors, shows Palm Beach, which had growth of up to 35 per cent in its median house price last year, will achieve a further 9 per cent-plus growth.

Suburbs predicted to grow 6 to 9 per cent in value include Collaroy, North Manly and Darling Point.

By contrast, houses in Grays Point are expected to drop between 8 and 5 per cent, while Carss Park and Monterey are set to experience falls of up to 7 per cent. APM operations manager Michael McNamara summed up 2006 as a "tale of two cities".

Cashed-up buyers paid top dollar for quality properties, helping harbour and beachside areas to flourish. But, in the west and south-west there were twice as many auctions in 2006 as 2005, reflecting the large number of mortgagee-in-possession sales, which had softened prices in these areas.

Last Saturday was Sydney's busiest auction day in 2007 - and an entree to next week's bumper Saturday, when more than 200 properties are set to go under the hammer.

Location, location, Location...... views like this have made Sydney suburb Vaucluse New South Wales's most expensive, with prices averaging above $2m.


悉尼的房地产市场的两极分化从来没有像现在这样明显，一些郊区地产迅速加入“百万富翁俱乐部”，而另外一些地区的房地产价值却大幅下滑。

随着悉尼52个郊区的平均房价已经超过100万，愈来愈多的地区加入了“百万富翁俱乐部”。最新的房地产价格调查也给挣扎着支付房贷的家庭带来了坏消息，在悉尼，过去三年房产均价降至30万元以下的地区几乎增加了一倍。

内西区Haberfield以及悉尼北岸的Pymble和Roseville Chase的地产就是“房地产百万富翁俱乐部”八个新成员中的三个，其他几个地区包括McMahon's Point﹑Warrawee﹑Fairlight﹑Cammeray以及Waverley。

而百万富翁俱乐部的老成员Vaucluse﹑Dover Heights﹑Clontarf以及Double Bay的房地产已经超过200万元。

根据RP Data-Rismark为《每日电讯报》收集的数据，10个郊区的房地产均价纷纷跌至30万元以下，这些地区为Doonside﹑Summerland Point﹑St Andrews﹑Ruse﹑Killarney Vale﹑North Gosford﹑Tahmoor﹑Yennora﹑Noraville以及Lalor Park。

Australians for Affordable Housing发言人David Imber表示，“这些数据显示悉尼地产两极分化越来越严重”，“我们担心中低收入家庭正被迫进入就业机会少﹑社会服务不周全的地区”。

根据RP Data-Rismark的调查，悉尼131个郊区的平均房价在60万至100万之间，而252个郊区房价在30万至60万之间。据估计未来12个月加入“百万富翁俱乐部”的郊区可能包括Abbotsford﹑Strathfield﹑Cronulla﹑Birchgrove和Lane Cove。






Winners, losers as prices hit roof



July 07, 2007 01:00am    Article from: The Daily Telegraph


* Sydney now has 52 $1m-plus suburbs
* Low-end property numbers also increasing
* Sydney back above Perth as most expensive

THE great divide in Sydney's cruel property market is more evident than ever, with more people becoming paper millionaires as others watch their house and land values dive.

The once-exclusive millionaires' club has been thrown wide open, with 52 suburbs now boasting median house prices of more than $1 million.

But families already struggling with mortgage repayments will get cold comfort from the latest housing price research, which reveals the number of suburbs with property values below $300,000 almost doubled in the past three years.

The inner-west suburb of Haberfield, and Pymble and Roseville Chase on Sydney's North Shore, are among eight new inductees to the millionaires' club.

Joining them are McMahon's Point, Warrawee, Fairlight, Cammeray and Waverley.

Haberfield joins millionaires' club stalwarts Vaucluse, Dover Heights, Clontarf and Double Bay -- which tip the scales at more than $2 million.

According to RP Data-Rismark statistics compiled for the Saturday Daily Telegraph, 10 suburbs saw their median house prices fall below the $300,000 mark over the same period - Doonside, Summerland Point, St Andrews, Ruse, Killarney Vale, North Gosford, Tahmoor, Yennora, Noraville and Lalor Park.

"It's showing how divided the city is," Australians for Affordable Housing spokesman, David Imber, said.

"The concern we have is that lower and middle income earners are being pushed out into areas with less employment and fewer social services."

Rismark head of research Dr Matthew Hardman said Sydney's overall median house price rose by 1.1 per cent to $515,800 over the 12 months to April, edging its way back in front of Perth ($462,000) after falling behind last year.

According to the RP Data-Rismark research, there are 131 Sydney suburbs with median house prices between $600,000 and $1 million, while most - 252 suburbs - fall in the $300,000 to $600,000 range.

Suburbs likely to join the millionaires' club within the next 12 months include Abbotsford, Strathfield, Cronulla, Birchgrove and Lane Cove.

The cheapest homes in Sydney




July 10, 2007     Sydney Morning Herald



Experts are divided over whether the cheapest houses in Sydney are a good investment.

It's turning into a tale of two cities: Sydney suburbs where property prices are static, or are falling, and those where values are increasing hand over fist.

With a record 1400 auctions in Sydney's west and south-west for the year to March 31 indicating a big rise in forced sales and repossessions in the region, prices are still failing to bounce back there.

But a cloud for some could have a silver lining for others. While prices, mostly out west, are proving very slow to recover, houses in the worst-hit areas can represent excellent value for canny buyers, whether investors or families who can't afford to buy closer to the city. "In Sydney, where affordability is such a big issue, these do represent more affordable housing options," says Australian Property Monitors general manager Michael McNamara.

Rents continue to rise in those areas, too, as a result of purchasers delaying buying property because of speculation over increased interest rates, baby boomers' children leaving home and population growth. In Harris Park, for instance, the median weekly rental for an apartment is $250 and for houses it's $380 - up from $230 and $325, respectively, a year ago.

"Yields are quite good," McNamara says. "For houses, they're about 4.5 per cent, and for units, 5.8 per cent. Those houses can be a good investment as far as income goes, although there's still not much capital growth and I don't see much capital growth in the near future."

Some investors see opportunities. Raine & Horne St Marys agent John Killen has just sold a three-bedroom home in Bidwill to an eastern suburbs buyer. "Houses there are very affordable - it sold for $210,000 - and rents are good," he says. "For this one, he'll get $200-$210 a week, which is a good return on an investment."

TUMBLING PRICES

Looking for a house in Sydney for less than $200,000? Lethbridge Park, just north of Mount Druitt in the west, is your place. Named by property researchers PRDnationwide as the cheapest suburb in Sydney, its median house price at December last year was just $199,375 - down 10 per cent from the year before.

There are plenty of other suburbs, too, where prices have fallen over the past year. In nearby Bidwill, for example, prices have slumped by a staggering 20 per cent, to a median of just $210,000. West of Liverpool in the city's south-west, prices in both Sadlier and Miller have fallen by 16 per cent to a median of $235,000 and $252,250, respectively. Close by, in Cartwright, the median price has fallen by 14 per cent to $228,750.

Meanwhile, on the Central Coast, Canton Beach near Toukley has the dubious honour of having fallen by the second biggest margin - 19 per cent from December 2005 to December last year. There, the median house price sits at $246,250.

That's all in dramatic contrast to the other Sydney: areas such as Darling Point with a $4 million median, where house prices have risen by 34 per cent over the past year, and Palm Beach, which has experienced growth of 39 per cent, to reach a median price of $2.97 million.

"  Prices in the cheaper suburbs have remained low due to the oversupply of houses outstripping the demand for them, which coincides with an increase in the number of housing estates in and around these areas," says PRDnationwide NSW research analyst Mathew Tiller.

"The increase in interest rates over the past year has also caused an increase in the number of mortgagee house sales within these suburbs, which has kept the prices low. These interest rate rises have also forced lower- and middle-income earners to rent within the area rather then to buy."

Sydney's most expensive suburbs




July 18, 2007     Sydney Morning Herald



Median prices in Sydney's most-expensive suburbs have jumped in the past year.

Which are the most expensive suburbs in Sydney for buying apartments and how the hell do you get to live in them?

It's the $1 million question - or even $1.2 million or $1.35 million in one place - that's bedevilled those of us who'd love a taste of the best, for the price of the worst.

"Sydney's highest-priced unit suburbs are basically determined by the location, particularly on the water and the presence of new apartment complexes," says Mathew Tiller, NSW research analyst with PRDnationwide.

"The top ones are always those on the water, close to the harbour or within easy reach of the CBD, shops, transport and places of employment. By comparison, Sydney's lowest-priced suburbs for apartments are usually those not by the water and with nothing particularly special about them."

Tops is Darling Point, where the median is $1.35 million, up by 15.6 per cent from the year before when the March median was $1.16 million.

Next up is Dawes Point, home of the exclusive Walsh Bay development, on the harbour. There, the median price for an apartment in March this year was $1.22 million, up 19 per cent from the year before's median of $1.02 million.

Sydney's third place, according to PRDnationwide figures, is claimed by Point Piper, at $1.2 million, up 23.1 per cent on the previous year; fourth is Milsons Point at $1.04 million, up a staggering 54.1 per cent; then Cabarita, at $800,000, up 4.2 per cent; and Cremorne Point at $765,000, up 1.7 per cent.

Balmain East and Central Coast's Avoca Beach, which are also both in the top 15 highest-priced suburbs for apartments, are doing well too. The median price of units at Avoca Beach rose by an incredible 86 per cent over the past year to reach $720,000 and Balmain East increased by 39.7 per cent to settle at $700,000. "These large fluctuations in the medians are caused by the release of new premium product on the waterfront over a certain period, which raises the median, or by sales of some very good properties," says Tim Lawless, PRDnationwide's research director.

Those kind of prices are in stark contrast to Sydney's cheapest apartment suburbs, which all lie south-west of the city: Carramar (near Villawood) with its median price of $140,000, down 3.1 per cent on the year before; Warwick Farm at $160,000, down 11.1 per cent;

Cabramatta at $170,000, down 8.1 per cent; Lakemba at $174,000, down 5.9 per cent; and then Ambarvale at $185,000 up 10.9 per cent.

Heaviest mortgage pain being felt in outer west

   

March 3, 2008   Sydney Morning Herald


HOUSE prices may be rising in Sydney's desirable eastern and inner-city suburbs, but mortgage stress is causing the most pain in the city's west.

Data from the 2006 census, analysed by the University of NSW's CityFutures Research Centre, show Fairfield and Holroyd are among the least affordable Sydney suburbs because the cost of houses there has risen much faster than incomes.

"Essentially, the rich are getting richer and the poor are stagnating," said CityFuture's researcher, Bill Randolph.

For example, household incomes in Ku-ring-gai went up by $511 per week, 24 per cent higher than the case at the 2001 census. Fairfield's average household income, however, only went up $113 over the same period - a rise of just 13 per cent.

In Kogarah, Ryde, Strathfield and Bankstown, median incomes barely kept up with inflation, rising by only 12 or 13 per cent in the past five years.

The median mortgage repayment in Bankstown in 2006 was 42.1 per cent of the average income, up from 34.3 per cent in 2001 - a difference of 7.8 per cent. In Holroyd, people were paying an average of 9.6 per cent more of the average income on their home loan repayments.

The CityFutures research paper, titled Our Changing City, found that the local government areas with the greatest decline in affordability were Holroyd, Auburn, Fairfield, Blacktown, Canterbury, Bankstown and Wollondilly.

"You have a combination of factors that mean wages [in those areas] have not kept pace. One is the restructuring of the labour market which is putting people into low-wage casual jobs. And those at the very bottom have had 10 years of welfare payments that haven't kept pace," Professor Randolph said.

Investors had been advised to buy in the middle and outer western suburbs during the property boom, which had pushed up prices for lower and middle income people hoping to buy in the traditionally cheaper areas, he said.

"Home affordability is such a big problem, I think the Government seriously needs to think about how to shift investment away from housing as a wealth creator over the long term."

Dr Simon Pinnegar, also from the CityFutures research centre, said rising fuel costs were hurting people in outer suburbs and that increasing the supply of houses might not solve the problem.

"We have got to the stage where even the [new houses] provided on the fringe cannot be afforded by the market. Traditionally people have moved to the 'burbs from the middle suburbs. If they are under stress now then they will find it very difficult to step up," he said.

Mary Perkins, the executive officer of affordable housing advocacy group Shelter NSW, said renting was so expensive, emergency housing funds such as the Commonwealth Supported Accommodation Assistance Program payments - traditionally spent on finding cheap rental accommodation - were being spent on mortgage repayments.

"It was cheaper for the [emergency housing] organisations to pay the mortgages of people in need than for short-term accommodation," she said.

据2008年4月5日《悉尼晨锋报》报道，地产研究机构APM(Australian Property Monitors）最新公布的统计数据显示，今年年一季度，悉尼房产市场最热销地区是内城区。

下北岸（Lower North Shore）地区上市房产的出清率为64％列第一，紧随其后的是悉尼市区以及东区，出清率为62％，内西区的成功售出率则达到60％。

悉尼南区的出清率为45％，严重低于53％的悉尼总体水平。西区的出清率也仅为47％。

其中，Eastwood是悉尼房产最畅销区域，上市的24个房产出清率高达79％，房产中间价达到$780,000元。Annandale列第二，出清率高达77％， 不过仍低于去年同期82％的出清率。










Inners are winners in home sales



April 5, 2008  Sydney Morning Herald


SYDNEY'S inner suburbs were the best-selling house markets during the March quarter.

Agents secured sales for 64 per cent of house listings on the lower North Shore, followed by a 62 per cent clearance rate in the city and eastern suburbs. The inner west scored a 60 per cent success rate.

But with a 45 per cent clearance rate, the southern suburbs seriously underperformed Sydney's overall 54 per cent house clearance rate during the March quarter. So, too, did the west, where vendors managed to sell just 47 per cent of house listings.

Eastwood was among the best performing suburbs with a 79 per cent clearance rate from the 24 house listings at a $780,000 median price.

Annandale ranked as the second-best auction hub with a 77 per cent success rate from its 26 house auction listings.

Annandale's volume was down from the 32 house listings last year when agents secured an 82 per cent success rate, according to Australian Property Monitors data.

Cronulla houses fared poorly, with just two of its 12 house listings being sold at auction. Sylvania Waters, the home suburb of the Reserve Bank governor, Glenn Stevens, secured just a 33 per cent success rate.

Units sold better than houses, with 59 per cent of Sydney apartments sold at auction in the quarter.

In the March quarter last year, 62 per cent of houses were sold and 64 per cent of units were sold.

With 57 auction property listings, Mosman was the busiest suburb for house listings during the quarter, but 11 were withdrawn from auction. There was a $1.5 million median price in Mosman during the quarter.

Mosman agents secured a 54 per cent success rate, compared with a 59 per cent sales rate from 61 listings in the same period last year.
