Regional resilience

MELBOURNE

median house prices have dipped below $1 million in a year of growth.

The REIV’s September Quarterly Median Report reveals that Melbourne metropolitan house prices fell 7.4 per cent during the quarter to $993,000.

However, across regional Victoria, median prices for both houses and units demonstrated greater resilience, with houses falling just 2.8 per cent to $603,000 and units falling 2.3 per cent to $422,500, this quarter.

Despite Melbourne's drop, many million-dollar suburbs continued to climb quarter-on-quarter, including Williamstown ($1,650,000) with 8.6 per cent growth, Surrey Hills ($2,166,500) with 6.2 per cent growth, Mount Waverley ($1,592,500) with 4.0 per cent growth, Keysborough ($1,010,000) with 3.1 per cent growth and Burwood ($1,400,000) with 1.0 per cent growth.

In regional Victoria, the top towns delivering house price growth during the quarter were Heathcote ($570,000), Morwell ($354,000) and Wodonga ($530,000).

Annual median data reveals Victoria’s property sector has shown solid growth over the past 12 months. Regional Victorian houses and units delivered double-digit annual growth in the 12-month period, with house prices climbing 15.5 per cent. In metropolitan Melbourne, house prices rose 9 per cent since September 2021.

REIV president Andrew Meehan said the September quarter had created attractive buying opportunities for Victorians, while strong longer-term market fundamentals prevail.

“Lower median prices through the September quarter have created new opportunities for Victorians to buy more affordably in Melbourne, particularly in the outer suburbs.

“The upward trends we continue to see in the annual data suggest there is significant long-term confidence underpinning both transaction activity and real estate prices across the state,” said Mr Meehan.

“It is pleasing to see property transactions have not slowed materially, with a high volume of vendors listing their properties and plenty of undeterred buyers. Looking ahead, these factors, combined with the RBA’s lower-than-expected rate rise in October, are an encouraging sign of our real estate market’s long-term health.”
