- The market appears to be moving in the right direction after remaining flat in February (-0.1%). CoreLogic’s national Home Value Index (HVI) posted the first month-on-month rise since April 2022, up 0.6% in March.
- With a decrease in the availability of new properties and an anticipated rise in demand, it appears that the property market in New South Wales for residential properties will be appealing to investors seeking income returns in 2023.
- Investors and owner-occupiers have always found Western Sydney to be a wise investment option, and we believe that this trend will persist in 2023 despite the market’s weakness. The region benefits from significant infrastructure investment and boasts lower median house prices, which, combined with the growing trend of remote work, have highlighted the appeal of affordable, spacious homes with backyards as highly desirable and viable long-term investments.
- Some evidence, including data from leasing agents, indicates that retail vacancies in the major central business district and many well-regarded suburban strips have declined in recent months.
