Property price falls tipped for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane by 2020 in BIS Oxford Economics report

It’s crunch time for Australia’s booming property markets. New forecasts expect Sydney property prices will fall in the next two years, while Brisbane and Melbourne will quickly come off the boil.

All Australian capital city markets are expected to weaken in the 2017-18 financial year as most tip into oversupply, according to forecasts in BIS Oxford Economics’ Residential Property Prospects 2017 to 2020 report.

In Sydney, median house and apartment prices are expected to fall 4 per cent by 2020. In Brisbane, house prices will increase 7 per cent, while unit prices will fall 7 per cent.

In Melbourne, there is predicted to be growth for houses of 5 per cent over the same time period, but apartments prices would fall 4 per cent.

BIS Oxford Economics senior manager Angie Zigomanis said one driving factor was the falling away of investor demand over the next 12 months due to a tightening in lending.

But this isn’t the first time the researchers have forecasted price falls for Sydney and a moderation for Melbourne.

In a 2015-2018 report, they predicted Sydney house prices would fall 4 per cent over 2016-17 and 2017-18, and Melbourne house prices would grow 5 per cent over 2015-16 followed by a “small fall” in the following two years. This was later revised to modest growth in the 2016-2019 report.

The latest Domain Group data shows Sydney and Melbourne house prices up 13.1 per cent and 15.2 per cent in the year to March 2017 respectively.

Any slowing was yet to be seen by Sydney-based EPS Property Search buyers’ agent Patrick Bright who said home buyers were strong on the lower north shore.

“I’m not seeing the market dropping off in the inner ring – there’s still good interest and we’re still seeing some stupid prices being paid,” Mr Bright said.

He said there was plenty of activity from both upsizers and downsizers in the market, as well as first-home buyers in the $1 million to $1.5 million bracket buying with parental help.

Selective. Worst case scenario a 1% drop per annum?! It doesn't work that way, we all know it will be either exponential growth or exponential declines there will be no inbetween.

It did work that way last time. Sydney prices fall by a few percent when the last boom ended in 2003, and then stagnated for nearly a decade.

Consumer protection laws extended to small businesses. Banks not permitted to repossess due to non-monetary defaults (for example, a fall in the property value).

2003 was not a recession or any other form of economical downturn. Prices detached from wages from 1996 to 2001 where they became seriously unaffordable at 10x+ income. They remained seriously unaffordable since so banks and governments pushed hard to get home owners to buy investment properties, build their retirement using their PPOR.

Credit standards dropped significantly from 2003 onwards and the credit bubble started to inflate and has kept inflating since.

Cheap and easy credit, it is that simple Shadow.

There's a bit more to it than that Chris. Credit is cheap and easy in Japan. In Perth too for that matter. Yet house prices have been going backwards for a long time.

The bi product of cheap and easy credit, a consequence not realised in certain capitals yet but it is a matter of time, unless you believe the whole east coast is exempt from the basic laws of economics?

Yep- Japanese learnt their lesson about cheap credit and irrational exuberance.

WA's economy is rooted.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
