SNAPSHOT 2021 PROPERTY WRAP AND WHERE ARE WE HEADING IN 2022

Loosening Covid-19 restrictions helped retail sales bounce 10.1% above pre-pandemic levels.

The breakneck industrial sector momentum shows no sign of slowing after stay-at-home shopping during the pandemic skyrocketed warehouse values.

Despite all the difficulties Covid19 threw at us, Australia’s housing markets experienced a once in a generation boom in property prices in 2021.

Over the past year, Sydney house prices have risen over 25.3%, Melbourne 15.1% and Brisbane 27.4%. In short, what we’ve seen is the highest 12-month growth rates since 1989.

Many experts and analysts are predicting property values to keep rising in 2022, but not everywhere and not to the same extent as they have over the last two years.

What are the banks saying? NAB has forecast a 4.9% lift in property values in 2022.

The CBA expects house prices to rise 7% next year & Westpac expects an 8% rise.

The talk is that house prices probably won’t go down until interest rates go up (which are linked to money markets and the cash rate).

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) says it won’t lift the cash rate until inflation reaches 2 – 3% target range. But some analysts are betting the cash rate will rise in 2023 rather than the forecast of 2024.

What about Omicron? If the full impact of Omicron is realised, some experts are saying house prices could potentially rise in the double digits again in 2022.

Testimonial:

“Our family is incredibly grateful to John and Mia for their endless support through the process of selling our family home. They were able to provide expert advice every step of the way including interviewing and selecting an agent, managing pre-inspections and recommendations for contractors, options for furniture removal, storage and styling, cleaning, and presentation, with a clear focus on achieving the best result on auction day. They built a relationship with the agents to strategize on marketing and managing potential buyers. John and Mia seamlessly handled every task in a professional and positive manner. They are experienced, knowledgeable, and willing to take on any task to help our family. Thank you!” – Emma K.
