Prestige by LJ Hooker Solutions Gold Coast - Autumn 2023 edition

Fears that the downward slide in property prices could accelerate as a result of continued hikes in mortgage rates might not be as justified as many think, a new Domain report on the influence of interest rates on property prices suggests.

Instead, in the longer term, the prospect of greater population growth could well have a bigger influence in propping up prices, says its author, Domain chief of research and economics Dr Nicola Powell.

Domain’s research found that when the mortgage rate rises by 1 per cent, Australia’s house prices fall by 1.34 per cent over a quarter.

However, when the population of Australia increases by 1 per cent, long-term cumulative house prices increase by 8.18 per cent.

Powell says this suggests that, over time, changes in population are more impactful to property market movements than mortgage rates.

“It’s one of those positive aspects in terms of drivers of the housing market,” she says. “An increase in demand affects prices moving forward, and the Australian economy was built on high levels of overseas migration.

“There’s clearly a government commitment to significant levels of population growth now, with an increased quota for permanent migration and particularly for skilled migrants, and there’s a certain expectation about their income and their demand for homes.”

Demographer Mark McCrindle predicts our population growth, usually over 1.5 per cent a year since 2006, will recover very rapidly from the COVID low due to government policies to lift caps and encourage skilled migrants and overseas students.

“If it hits 1.1 per cent now, that means an increase of 290,000 extra people as the population base increases, and I’ll think we’ll get up to 390,000 a year, and break 400,000 a year quickly,” McCrindle says.

“That means over a million people in three years, which will mean a significant lift in demand for housing against supply. That’s where we’ll see price rises coming back into the property market.”

While movements in house prices are the end result of a complex mix of many factors, Powell says it “seems unlikely that mortgage rate increases alone could tank the property market”.
