QMM STATE-WIDE COMMENTARY

CONFIDENCE SPREADS TO REGIONAL QLD While residential real estate markets south of the border are reportedly coming to, if not already at their peak, Queensland is some way off that point. Sales activity in Southeast Queensland (SEQ) continues to strengthen, while the state’s key regional centres are beginning to reap the benefits of growing confidence across the state. Listing numbers have begun to improve, a sign that vendors are becoming increasingly confident about current selling conditions. However, local agents still report a shortage of supply in some areas and price segments.

Proudly supported by

Average days on market and average vendor discounting have improved markedly in most regions compared to a year ago. These conditions, combined with strong sales activity, have seen SEQ, Toowoomba and Cairns enter a rising house market. Townsville has now joined the Fraser Coast in recovery mode, with Gladstone and Bundaberg also entering a recovery phase. Local agents are reporting Rockhampton is at the bottom of the cycle, while Mackay appears to be stabilising. >p2


REIQ RESEARCH EXPLANATORY NOTES SALES DATA

PRICE POINT GRAPHS

All figures for the most recent quarterly and yearly periods are preliminary only and subject to further revision as additional sales records become available (see Research Methodology online at reiq.com).

All data contained within these graphs represent preliminary sales numbers and are subject to revision as additional sales records become available.

As of the June quarter 2013, all sales data includes "Recent Sales" as advised by real estate agents as well as official records as advised by DNRM. As such comparisons with figures published prior to the June quarter 2013 should be done with caution. A median sale price is derived by arranging a set of sale prices from lowest to highest and then selecting the middle value within this set (ie the 50th percentile, where half of recorded sales were less and half were higher than the median). Only suburbs and regions to record sufficient sales numbers are published. N/A (LGA) Brisbane (SD)

Due to insufficient sales numbers (as at the time of data extraction) no median sale price has been calculated Local Government Area Brisbane Statistical Division which comprises the LGA’s of Brisbane City, Ipswich City, Logan City, Moreton Bay Regional and Redland City

GROSS RENTAL YIELDS

House yields are based upon REIQ median house prices and RTA weighted median weekly rent for houses. Unit yields are based upon REIQ median unit & townhouse prices and RTA weighted median weekly rent for units and townhouses. VACANCY RATES

All figures are based upon all residential rentals as at the end of each quarterly period, as submitted by REIQ accredited agents. A vacancy rate of 3 per cent is generally considered to indicate equilibrium of supply and demand within a rental market. N/A

RENTAL DATA

All median weekly rents are published on a postcode basis, as calculated by the Residential Tenancies Authority, where sufficient data is available. Caution should be exercised when interpreting any median rental price data based upon a relatively small number of new bond lodgements.

At the time of publication, latest information available was for the 12 months ending the month prior to the current period. "Days on Market" is calculated as the average number of days it has taken to sell those properties sold by private treaty sale during the 12 month period. The calculation excludes auction listings and listings where an asking price is not advertised. The days on market calculation uses the contract date on the property compared with the first advertised date. "Vendor Discount" is the average difference between the contract price on a property and the first advertised price. The figure is expressed as a percentage and is an average of all private treaty sales which sold for less than their initial asking price during the last 12 months. Auction listings and listings without an advertised asking price are excluded from the calculation. "Total Listings" is the total unique number of properties that have been advertised for sale and captured by RP Data over the 12 month period. To be included in the count, the listings have to be matched to an actual address. "% Stock on Market" is the percentage of dwellings within the suburb or local government area that have been listed for sale over the past year. Source: CoreLogic RP Data (www.corelogic.com.au)

HOUSE MARKET

REIQ

House sales activity across SEQ continued to improve over the September quarter, with preliminary sales numbers up five per cent across Greater Brisbane. The Gold and Sunshine Coasts recorded an increase of seven and three per cent respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Cairns saw sales volumes for both the house and unit markets increase by more than 30 per cent, with the city also recording the greatest improvement in average vendor discounting outside of SEQ. Toowoomba shared equal honours for the greatest drop in days on market compared to a year ago.

These six regions have now recorded consecutive quarterly increases in sales volumes and with strong increases in their respective median house prices over the year to September. They are clearly beginning to enter the rising segment of the property cycle.

The Fraser Coast on the other hand saw sales activity remain relatively stable over the quarter, a trend seen over the corresponding period last year. All other market indicators, however, point to a recovery in the local house market. The region posted the second greatest improvement in days on market, with houses selling 12 days quicker than they did this time last year.

... key regional centres are beginning to reap the benefits of growing confidence across the state.

Mackay and Gladstone both recorded strong sales activity for the quarter, however both regions are still seeing a softening in median house prices. Local agents in Gladstone report that the residential sales market is normalising following an exceptionally high volume of activity in the past few years. UNIT MARKET

Unit and townhouse markets across SEQ and many other parts of the state continue to improve. While overall preliminary sales numbers were up across all price points, the strongest increase in sales was recorded in the sub$250,000 (up 20 per cent) and million-dollar plus price point (up 21 per cent). Greater Brisbane’s unit market outperformed house sales, with volumes up 11 per cent over the quarter on the back of strong results in the Logan and Ipswich regions. The Cairns unit market performed very strongly over the September quarter, with unit sales in the sub-$250,000 recording the highest increase in buyer activity. This contributed to the region’s drop in median sale price for that period. Toowoomba also continues to record strong sales activity, with volumes up 21 per cent on the June quarter and the median sale price posting a healthy 2.5 per cent increase over the same period.

RENTAL MARKET

The REIQ’s latest Residential Rental Survey, conducted at the end of September, found vacancy levels remain relatively steady across most parts of the state. Only four of the 16 major regions recorded a significant change in vacancy levels. Outside Queensland’s resource centres, rental conditions remain tight across all other major regional centres. The Sunshine Coast again posted the State’s tightest vacancy rate of one per cent at the end of September. Latest figures from the RTA also point to some movements in median weekly rents. This is in line with trends showing varying demand and supply levels across the state. Median rents in Gladstone and Mackay continue to ease, while continued tight conditions seen in many other parts of the state are yet to convert into any significant increases in median weekly rents. The total number of new bonds lodged across Queensland was up over the September quarter. Local agents in many areas say this is a popular time of year for people to relocate, most notably for work or school reasons prior to the Christmas-New Year period.

BRISBANE MARKET UPDATES

BRISBANE CITY

Over the September quarter the Brisbane City local government area (LGA) once again recorded an increase in sales activity. It also saw strong growth in its annual median sale prices for both houses and units compared to a year ago. The capital city is firmly moving into a rising market, with strong volumes recorded across all price points. The strong price growth seen in the Sydney and Melbourne residential property markets puts Brisbane in a healthy position to reap the benefits of increased interstate investment. Investors and home buyers alike are looking north of the border for more affordable housing options in a capital city that has some capital growth still to come.

BRISBANE CITY HOUSE SALES (p) JUN 14

Brisbane remains the fastest selling major region with an average of 57 days over the year to August, while the rate of average vendor discounting over the period also remains the lowest for the state at 5.5 per cent. According to local agents listings are still hard to come by in some areas, particularly in the sub-$500,000 bracket. This was evident in the price point results for the quarter which saw the sub-$350,000 and sub-$500,000 segments record only small increases in preliminary sales volumes, while healthy increases were seen in the upper two price points. A further indicator that the Brisbane house market is getting into full swing is that the increase in sales activity is not concentrated in any one pocket or zone from the CBD. Strong growth in sales volumes over the quarter was recorded in the likes of Mount Gravatt East, Woolloongabba, Carseldine and Salisbury. UNIT MARKET

Brisbane’s unit market also continues to perform strongly, with sales volumes up seven per cent over the September quarter. The median sale price was relatively steady over the quarter, however the annual median was up a healthy five per cent compared to a year ago and up 9.1 per cent compared to five years ago. According to local agents, there is strong activity in the new unit and townhouse market across the city, with a number of new developments still coming onto the market. These include high rise units in inner Brisbane, to townhouse complexes scattered across the middle-toouter suburbs. Similar to the house market, activity at the affordable end of the market wasn’t as strong as sales in the upper price points.

HOUSE MARKET

Brisbane’s house market continues to lead the rest of the state out of the recovery stage, with sales volumes continuing to grow along with strengthening buyer demand. This is evident in the continued improvement in average days on market and average vendor discounting, both of which have edged down since the end of June.

BRISBANE MARKET UPDATES

GREATER BRISBANE

While Brisbane City’s residential market continues to strengthen, so too do the outer lying areas of Greater Brisbane. Buyers are looking to the outer areas for affordability reasons but also for lifestyle reasons. Redland City is leading the way with the strongest growth in median sale prices compared to five years ago, while Logan and Moreton Bay are leading the way in terms of sales activity. Ipswich is a tad behind the three other regions, but it too is moving into a rising market with preliminary sales volumes also improving over the quarter. Many of the outer lying areas are seeing improved infrastructure projects going ahead, such as the Kippa-Ring rail extension in Redcliffe, which will continue to support the increasing population in the region. And while interstate migration sits at historical lows, many market commentators are tipping this will turn around on the back of increasing house prices in Sydney and Melbourne. HOUSE MARKET

For example, Redlands unitsHOUSE are averaging QUEENSLAND MARKETS 5.3 per cent, compared to 5.7 per cent for house September Qtr 2014sales. Overall sales volumes are trending upwards and Logan Brisbane City leading theSDway,RISING with an increase of 41 per cent over FALLING Toowoomba the quarter and a healthy 4.8 per cent increase in median Gold Coast sale price. Sunsine Coast Cairns

Over the September quarter, all LGAs within the Brisbane surrounds recorded an increase in preliminary sales numbers. Median house prices remained relatively stable or softened in some areas due to an increase in activity at the affordable end of the market.

Over the year to September, the Ipswich unit market was the star performer with an increase of 14.6 per cent compared to the previous year and up 9.8 per cent Fraser Coast RECOVERING STABILISING compared to five years ago. Townsville

Preliminary sales numbers in the sub-$350,000 and sub-$500,000 price points were up 10 and nine per cent respectively, while the upper two price points saw only marginal increases since the end of June.

With affordability a key driver of tenant demand, the Source: REIQ Greater Brisbane rental market continues to see strong tenant enquiry as more look to the outer suburbs to achieve cheaper rent or more for their money.

Average days on market and average vendor discounting for the greater Brisbane area both improved slightly over the three months to September. Redland was the fastest selling region with an average of just 70 days. Market conditions are leaning more in favour of sellers in Moreton Bay, where the average vendor discount is 5.4 per cent, up from 6.8 per cent 12 months ago.

As a result, vacancy levels have tightened further with the Brisbane Statistical Division recording a drop of 0.3 percentage points to two per cent at the end of September. It has now returned to the same level recorded at the end of September last year.

Despite recording the longest days on market and vendor discount for the greater Brisbane area, the Ipswich property market is set to be vastly benefited from improved infrastructure. These include rail upgrades for the Southwest rail transport corridor identified by the new Brisbane City Plan. UNIT MARKET

The unit and townhouse market for the Brisbane surrounds is still somewhat behind the house market, with days on market up around the 100-day mark. Average vendor discounting in some regions is better than that those for house sales.

Bundaberg Rockhampton

The vacancy level for the greater Brisbane area, excluding the Brisbane City LGA, also returned to that recorded 12 months ago, to a 1.7 per cent vacancy rate. Ipswich and Logan both recorded the largest drop in its vacancy rate, down 1.4 percentage points compared to the end of June, placing both regions into tight market conditions. Over the September quarter, median weekly rents from the RTA show modest changes across the Greater Brisbane regions, with the exception of two bedroom flats in Redland, which saw an increase of $35 to $310 per week.

SEPTEMBER QUARTER 2014

15


REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES

GOLD COAST The Gold Coast real estate market is firmly into a new growth phase as the city’s economy gathers strength on the back of major infrastructure projects and an improving tourism market.

However, sale volumes in the $500,000-plus price bracket were down 5.8 per cent in the three months to September, with million-dollar plus sales also picking up on much smaller volumes.

The light rail project linking Southport to Broadbeach has delivered an important boost to the tourist centre, with the Pacific Fair Shopping Centre upgrade and preparations for the 2018 Commonwealth Games also contributing to a more positive economic outlook.

Some suburbs recorded impressive price growth over the quarter, however, such as Runaway Bay (40.1 per cent), Clear Island Waters (22.2 per cent), and Paradise Point (13.3 per cent).

House sale volumes on the Gold Coast rose seven per cent in the three months to September, with unit sales also increasing by five per cent. During the same period, acreage sales were up four per cent. Houses are selling quicker on the Gold Coast, with average days on market down to 72 days in the September quarter, compared to 96 days 12 months earlier. Average vendor discounting on the Gold Coast Coast is also trending downwards, currently sitting at six per cent in September 2013, compared to 11.6 per cent in September 2004. HOUSE MARKET

The northern rim of the Gold Coast is recording strong sales volumes, as are a number of hinterland suburbs. Both contributed to the region’s impressive rise in sales in the September quarter. Those to record the biggest increase in quarterly sales included Upper Coomera (116 per cent), Helensvale (63 per cent) and Robina (63 per cent).

UNIT MARKET

The Gold Coast unit and townhouse market recorded a five per cent increase in sale volumes in the three months to September. Median unit prices on the Gold Coast eased 2.9 per cent during this period to $340,000. While units priced up to $500,000 saw an increase in sales, volumes in the $500,000-plus price bracket were down. Local agents say there are still good opportunities in the high rise market, with many properties being quickly picked off by investors. In the past month, investor activity in the apartment/unit market has reportedly been very strong. Sales volumes were also up in the luxury end of the market, with 59 apartments priced upwards of $1 million changing hands, up from 36 in the June quarter. Suburbs to record strong price growth over the quarter included Coolangatta (25.7 per cent) and Coombabah (15.6 per cent). RENTAL MARKET

According to local agents this sales growth has been underpinned by job-creating developments in the region and a return of confidence in the tourism market.

According to the REIQ’s latest rental survey, rental conditions on the Gold Coast remain tight amid a shortage of supply.

Despite rising sales volumes, median house prices on the Gold Coast eased 3.9 per cent to $495,000 in the three months to September. This is the result of higher sale volumes as the lower end of the market and a fall in the number of $500,000-plus sales.

The Gold Coast recorded a vacancy rate of 1.9 per cent at the end of September, with median weekly rents remaining stable over the September quarter.

REIQ’S price point data confirms this, with the highest number of preliminary sales numbers recorded in the $350,000-plus bracket. Sales also rose slightly in the $250,000-plus price bracket.

16 QUEENSLAND MARKET MONITOR

Local agents say the higher rental yields available on the Gold Coast are attracting an increasing number of interstate investors. It’s hoped increased investor activity will add to the supply of available rental stock.

SUNSHINE COAST

Sunshine Coast real estate performed strongly in the September quarter, keeping up the momentum which has been gathering since the local market entered its recovery phase in late 2013. The regional economy is going from strength to strength, with major infrastructure projects such as the new Sunshine Coast University Hospital delivering ongoing jobs and employment opportunities. Agents report that the thriving local economy is driving demand and confidence in real estate on the coastal strip. In contrast to earlier in the year, this buoyant sentiment is also penetrating into the hinterland region. Average days on market continue to fall in the Sunshine Coast region, including Noosa – sitting at 90 days in the September quarter, compared to 110 days 12 months earlier. Average vendor discounting in the Sunshine Coast region is also trending downwards, from 9.2 per cent in September 2013 to 5.6 per cent 12 months later. HOUSE MARKET

Noosa was the star performer in the region for house sales in the September quarter, with sales activity up an impressive 13 per cent. Sales volumes were also up in the broader Sunshine Coast LGA, rising 3 per cent in the three months to September. Median house prices in the Sunshine Coast LGA were up 1.2 per cent to $473,500 in the three months to September, while Noosa’s median house price was $522,500 in the three months to September. Local agents say there is very healthy demand for housing in the majority of suburbs on the Sunshine Coast, with the prestige sector of the market showing particularly strong signs of recovery. REIQ’S price point data confirms this, with the highest number of preliminary sales numbers recorded in the $350,000-plus bracket. Increased sales activity, however, was most prominent in the $500,000-plus bracket with an additional 26 preliminary sales recorded in the September quarter. Turnover was also up in the $1 million-plus sector of the market, with 43 properties changing hands – up from 37 in the June quarter. Top performing suburbs to record impressive median price growth in the three months to September included Mooloolaba (16.8 per cent), Wurtulla (8.5 per cent ) and Glass House Mountains (8.4 per cent). UNIT MARKET

Noosa also outperformed the greater Sunshine Coast region in the unit and townhouse market, with an impressive 9.4 per cent increase bringing the median unit price to $395,000 in the three months to September. In the September quarter, sales activity in Noosa rose by five per cent with sales volumes up strongly in Kings Beach (36 per cent), Mooloolaba (33 per cent) and Mount

Coolum (27 per cent). Local agents say first home buyers and downsizers are becoming more active in the unit market and they expect to see a steady increase in this sector of the market heading into 2015. Across the Sunshine Coast region, including Noosa, sales activity was up across most price points, with the affordable end of the market performing continuing to perform well. Unit sale volumes were strongest in the $350,000-plus price bracket, rising 10 per cent in the three months to September. RENTAL MARKET

According to the REIQ’s latest rental survey, the Sunshine Coast has the lowest vacancy rate of any major region in the state. Sitting at just one per cent, the vacancy rate on the Sunshine Coast LGA is the result of strong tenant demand driven by the strong employment opportunities in the region. The Noosa Council area saw its vacancy rate ease tighten to 1.2 per cent in the three months to September. Local agents are hopeful increased investor activity will help to tackle the current shortage of rental stock in both LGAs.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES

SALES MARKET - HOUSES

FRASER COAST CONTINUED In saying that, a recovery is not far away given the average vendor discounting rate has improved by 1.9 percentage points compared to the same time last year – the best improvement of all regional unit markets. Average days on market are also continuing to come down. RENTAL MARKET

The Fraser Coast rental market, driven by steady population growth, continues to improve with vacancy rates at the end of September tightening to 2.1 per cent. This drop was attributed to a tightening of vacancies in Maryborough, where the vacancy rate dropped from 3.2 to 2.4 per cent over the three months to September. Hervey Bay remained unchanged at 1.9 per cent. Local agents say the tightening in the rental market is the result of a shortage of available UNITS properties relative to demand. An increase in the number of sales of former investment properties to owner occupiers and increased TOOWOOMBA UNIT SALES (p) migration to the area are other contributing factors. JUN 14 from62 the

SEP 14

According to figures RTA, the Fraser Coast region recorded modest increases in median weekly rents over 43 the September 38quarter, 36with vacancy levels also remaining tight since the end of June. Given the relative affordability of house and unit sale prices in the18region, current gross 14 7 third 5 rental yields for houses on the Fraser Coast is the highest of all major regional centres. <$250,000

Bundaberg real estate is on the verge of a renaissance as buyers grow more confident amid improving market sentiment and a local economy starting to show green shoots of recovery.

According to the REIQ’s price point data, sub-$350,000 sales were up 30 per cent in the September quarter, with sales relatively steady in the $350,000-plus and $500,000plus price brackets.

Investors and first home buyers are playing an increasingly active role in the local real estate market as a series of key economic development projects get underway in the city.

Some suburbs recorded impressive price growth over the quarter, including Bundaberg North (7.6 per cent), Norville (6.4 per cent) and Walkervale (six per cent).

An expansion of the Port of Bundaberg and the increased presence of a number of major retailers are fuelling hopes of renewed population growth as the city continues to rebound from the 2013 floods.

UNIT MARKET

HOUSE MARKET

House sales volumes in Bundaberg were up an impressive 19 per cent in the September quarter, the third highest of any Queensland regional centre. There was also double digit growth in acreage sales (10 per cent) and unit and townhouse sales (13 per cent). Average days on market crept up slightly in the September quarter to 89 days but they are still lower than the corresponding period last year. Average vendor discounting was also slightly up at 7.6 per cent in the three months to September, a full two percentage points lower compared to September 2013. Despite rising sales volumes, median house prices in Bundaberg eased 5.3 per cent to $268,995 in the three months to September. This easing trend is the result of a rising volume of sales at the lower end of the market, particularly in the sub $350,000 price bracket. Local agents confirm buyers are most active in the sub-$350,000 price bracket, with first home buyers and investors eyeing potential capital growth.

Bundaberg’s unit and townhouse market recorded a 13 per cent increase in sale volumes in the three months to September. The strongest growth in sale volumes was at the lower end of the market, with sales more than doubling in the sub$250,000 price bracket. Sale volumes in the $250,000-plus price brackets recorded modest increases, however the concentration of activity at the lower end of the market saw median unit prices ease 12.1 per cent to $235,000. RENTAL MARKET

According to the REIQ’s latest rental survey, Bundaberg has one of the stronger rental markets in regional Queensland. The survey shows the local rental market has moved into healthy conditions with a vacancy rate of 2.9 per cent, down one point from the previous quarter. Local agents say an oversupply of rental properties is starting to clear amid expectations of better investor returns in an improving market heading into 2015.

ROCKHAMPTON Rockhampton’s real estate market is set to enter the recovery phase, with a potential upswing in the rural sector expected to feed into the broader economy. Local agents are increasingly confident about the future prospets of the local real estate market if, as expected, the imminent export of LNG from Central Queensland helps to spark a wider regional economic recovery. HOUSE MARKET

House sale volumes rose steadily in the September quarter along with unit and townhouse sales. Acreage sales recorded double digit growth of 11 per cent. Average days on market crept up slightly in the September quarter to 88 days but they are still lower than the corresponding period last year. Average vendor discounting was relatively steady at 7.9 per cent in HOUSES the three months to September and still almost two percentage points lower compared to September 2013. TOOWOOMBA HOUSE SALES (p)

Sale volumes increased six per cent in Rockhampton in JUN 14 SEP 14 the three months to September, with the median sale price easing 3.6294 per 296 cent to $305,000.

There were also small increases in the $350,000-plus and $500,000-plus price brackets. Some suburbs including Norman Gardens (13.7 per cent) and Wandal (5.3 per cent) recorded impressive price growth in the three months to September. UNIT MARKET

Rockhampton unit and townhouse sales recorded a solid increase in volume in the September quarter, rising eight per cent. Median unit prices held relatively steady at $415,000, with local agents reporting buyer interest by far the strongest around this price point. Sales in the $250,000-$350,000 price bracket held steady, with sub-$250,000 and $500,000-plus sales also registering healthy growth. ROCKHAMPTON & LIVINGSTONE HOUSE SALES (p) JUN 14 153

RENTAL MARKET

Rockhampton’s sluggish rental market is showing signs of improvement heading into 2015. According to the REIQ’s latest rental survey, the residential vacancy rate in Rockhampton was 4.1 per cent in the September quarter – down from 4.8 per cent the previous quarter. Local agents say the oversupply of rental stock is clearing and there are no significant additions to the local market due to come online in the near future. They say it’s still largely a renters market and haven’t ruled out the possible return to a more healthy rental market in 2015.

Average days on market crept up slightly in the September quarter to 96, with average vendor discounting also slightly up at 9.1 per cent. While the median sale price in Mackay eased one per cent in the September quarter to $391,000, some suburbs recorded impressive growth in this period. The median house price in North Mackay was up an impressive of 20.4 per cent to $494,000 in the three months to September. 30 QUEENSLAND MARKET MONITOR

Unit sales numbers in Mackay recorded growth in the September quarter, recording healthy increases in all price brackets, particularly in the $250,000-$350,000 price point. Sales in the sub-$250,000 price bracket nearly doubled, with the $350,000-plus sector of the market also recording encouraging growth. The median unit price eased 1.3 per cent , reflecting the higher volume of transactions at the middle-to-lower end of the market. Average days on market and average vendor discounting in the Mackay unit market however are down compared to a year ago, signalling the bottom of the market is yet to be reached. RENTAL MARKET

According to the REIQ’s latest rental survey, Mackay has the weakest rental market in Queensland – largely the result of challenging economic conditions caused by the mining investment downturn. The survey shows a rental vacancy rate of 8.4 per cent in the September quarter, up from 6.8 per cent in the previous quarter. Local agents say Self-Managed Super Fund investment has come to a standstill, with rents on some properties plunging by up to 50 per cent. They say the lower returns are making properties far more attractive to renters amid hopes that increased affordability will lead to renewed population growth and economic development in 2015.

Although the September quarter saw a drop in sales volumes for the Townsville unit and townhouse market, the overall trend in sales activity is on the way up. The previous quarter saw bumper activity and quicker selling times. Average vendor discounting for unit sales also improved compared to 12 months ago. The drop off in activity was recorded across all price points, however not all suburbs saw a decline. The suburbs of North Ward, Rosslea and South Townsville all performed well over the quarter, recording a slight increase in sales volumes.

According to local property managers surveyed, there continues to be an oversupply in the region. Tenant demand remains weak on the back of poor employment opportunities, with many leaving the area in search of work. NRAS developments are said to be contributing to the oversupply, however analysis of bonds held by the RTA shows they only contribute around 3 per cent to the rental supply. Four stages of NRAS have now been completed, with the fifth and final stage said to have been postponed indefinitely. Given the soft market conditions, median weekly rents from the RTA continue to come down, and they are at levels not seen in more than five years.

RENTAL MARKET

In Cairns, local agents report increased investor activity, however with strong tenant demand in play, the region's vacancy rate tightened slightly. Over the three months to September, the vacancy rate was down 0.2 percentage points to 1.8 per cent. The Cairns rental market continues to benefit from improving local conditions, with employment opportunities reportedly bringing more people to the area. The region recorded modest increases in median weekly rents over the September quarter, according to figures released by the RTA. Current gross yields also remain relatively strong, with house rentals remaining steady at 4.8 per cent. An easing median unit price saw unit gross yields go up to 6.9 per cent – the highest of all major centres. According to local agents, more investors are being attracted to Cairns, which will ensure rental stock can keep pace with current levels of demand.
