HOUSE PRICES DEFY RESERVE BANK’S BIG CALL: REIA
The Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) President, Mr Hayden Groves said their latest Real Estate Market Facts, powered by Managed, has found that Australian housing prices fell over the June quarter as rising interest rates and inflation impacted affordability but not all cities and regions are experiencing price contractions.

“Combined, the June quarter of 2022 saw a decline in the weighted average capital city median price for both houses and other dwellings across the Australian residential property market. The weighted average capital city median price decreased by 1.8% for houses and 0.6% for other dwellings.

“The weighted average median house price for the eight capital cities fell to $1,012,230 over the quarter. The median house price increased in Brisbane, Adelaide and Darwin remained stable in Perth and declined in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart. Increases ranged from 0.4% in Darwin to 2.6% in Adelaide.

“This defies the Reserve Bank’s recent comments on potential house price falls and simply demonstrates 2022 market conditions are the adjustment ‘we had to have’.

“At a median sale price of $1,552,015, Sydney’s median house price continues to be the highest amongst the capital cities, 53.3% above the national median.

“At $530,000, Perth offers great value with the lowest median house price across Australian capital cities, 47.6% lower than the national median. Over the 12 months to the June quarter, the weighted average capital city median house price increased by 9.2%. Whilst a significant gain, this is the lowest annual increase since the December quarter 2020.”

According to Mr Groves, the weighted average median price for other dwellings for the eight capital cities dipped to $651,142, a quarterly fall of 0.6%. Over the quarter, the median price for other dwellings rose in Brisbane, remained stable in Adelaide, Canberra and Darwin and declined in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Hobart.

“At $790,983, Sydney’s median price for other dwellings continues to be the highest amongst the capital cities, 21.5% higher than the national median. At $410,000 Perth has the lowest median price for other dwellings across Australian capital cities, 37.0% lower than the national median.

“Over the 12 months to the end of June, 2022 the weighted average capital city median price for other dwellings increased by one percentage point.” he said.

Mr Groves said rents increased sharply after a period of relative stability with the weighted average median rent for 3-bedroom houses in the eight capital cities inflating to $506 per week, a quarterly rise of 3.6%.

Home buyers still being misled by underquoting, despite falling prices

KEY POINTS
Complaints about underquoting have declined in the cooling property market.
However, the proportion of fines resulting from those complaints has increased.
More homes are selling in range of advertised guides as prices fall, but industry figures warn deliberate underquoting is still occurring.

The days of homes for sale routinely soaring above price guides may be over, but buyers are still wasting time and money on properties they cannot afford as illegal underquoting continues.

NSW Fair Trading received 51 underquoting related complaints in the first six months of this year, and issued 40 penalties totalling $88,000. That resulted in a total of 133 complaints and 96 fines last financial year.

Fewer homes may be soaring well above price guides, but underquoting is still occurring, industry figures warn.

By comparison, there were 200 complaints and 55 fines over the 2020-21 financial year.

Complaints have fallen across the state amid the declining property market as reduced buyer demand sees more homes sell closer to and even below advertised prices, however, buying experts warn deliberate underquoting is still a concern and the figures show the proportion of fines to complaints has increased.

Underquoting occurs when an agent advertises a price guide below the reasonable estimated price they provide in their agreement with the sellers. The estimate can be a single price or in a 10 per cent range, and must be based on factors like recent comparable sales and market conditions.

Sydney buyer’s agent Paul Mulligan, of Mulligan Property Acquisitions, said underquoting was still occurring at a similar rate, wasting the time and money of prospective buyers.

“You have people looking at $3 million properties on a $2 million or so budget, through no fault of their own. They’re spending money on building and pest inspections for a home they were never really in the running for,” he said.

Mulligan said unique or prestige homes could soar above expectations occasionally, but standard properties should not be selling hundreds of thousands of dollars above guides.

The days of homes routinely soaring above price guides may be over, but underquoting is still wasting the time and money of house hunters.

• Comes as interest rates are expected to increase tomorrow
• Although prices have declined, affordability remains a concern
• The NSW government received close to $1 billion in stamp duty in July alone, figures show
With interest rates expected to rise again tomorrow, what is going to happen to the property market in Sydney this month?
The Reserve Bank (RBA) is poised to lift the cash rate again tomorrow for the fifth consecutive month. This is despite just a year ago the central bank was adamant the cash rate wouldn’t rise from the record-low level of 0.1% until 2024.
Now, the cash rate is 1.85%, and is expected to rise by 50 basis points tomorrow.
“There remains a desire among consumers for greater certainty around the current rate rise cycle,” said Tim McKibbin, the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales (REINSW) CEO.
After peaking at around $1.7 million earlier this year, asking house prices have been on the decline, according to SQM Research.

RBA keeps options open for September
By Kate Aubrey
19 August 2022

While the central bank went hard on its third consecutive 50-bp hike – without considering another option – the August minutes reveal it is not set “on a pre-set path”.
The Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) released its August monetary policy meeting minutes (16 August), which revealed the board decided to increase the cash rate by 50 bps, with no indication of increasing the cash rate by an alternative amount.
At its monetary policy meeting on Tuesday (2 August) the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) board decided to increase the cash rate by 50 bps, taking the cash rate to 1.85 per cent.
It marked the first time the central bank had increased the cash rate in three consecutive 50-bp hikes (following June and July’s 50-bp hike), continuing the rising rate cycle that started in May.
The latest minutes revealed the board’s decision boiled down to high inflation, around 7–10 per cent, “the resilient economy” and the tight labour market, which mirror the central bank’s justification for raising the interest rate in previous months.
The minutes stated inflation was now expected to “peak later and higher” than previously thought, with a further pass-through in cost pressures of 10–15 per cent in retail, gas and electricity prices.
However, fewer options appear to be on the table since June, where the board had weighed up a 25-bp or 50-bp, or July when “members considered the possibility of raising interest rates by 25bp or 50bp”.

While the central bank went hard on its third consecutive 50-bp hike – without considering another option – the August minutes reveal it was “not on a pre-set path”.
