Perth’s median house value fell by 1.9 per cent in May, new figures show, despite the Reserve Bank slashing interest rates.
RP Data-Rismark’s measure of home values showed Perth was one of the worst-performed capital cities in the country as overall prices dropped.
For the quarter, the median house value in Perth is down by 1.2 per cent.
They are down 3.2 per cent in the first five months of the year.
However, the units and apartments sector is defying the gloom of the house market.
The median value of units rose by 1.5 per cent in May to be 6.3 per cent higher in the quarter.
For the year to date, median unit prices in Perth are up by 4.5 per cent.
Nationally, all dwelling prices were down by 1.4 per cent led by a 2.7 per cent drop in Melbourne.
House prices fell by 2.8 per cent in Melbourne, by two per cent in Sydney and by 2.5 per cent in Darwin.
Units, however, defied the overall trend.
Median unit prices were up by 2.2 per cent in Sydney, by 4.7 per cent in Adelaide while in Melbourne they fell by 1.4 per cent. RP research director Tim Lawless said there were growing differences between units and houses, and between premium suburbs and those considered more affordable.
“It is clear that the market is becoming increasingly price point driven,” he said.
Premium dwelling values, he said, are down by 6.1 per cent in the year to April while for those at the more affordable end of the market prices are down by just 1.5 per cent.
Mr Lawless said there were some positive signs, with discounting by sellers falling while there had been a fall in the number of days taking properties to sell.
Financial markets expect the Reserve Bank to use its meeting next Tuesday to cut official interest rates by at least a quarter percentage point.
22.8% a year loss. Might want to hold onto your cash and let the ride finish before getting back on. If the fall speeds up then that might even top 30-40% which would be suicide for the sector you would have years of falls.
HIA has also saying we may be headed into a recession. Coming from the people who are known for nothing but talking the market up this seems odd and ominous.
The rate of fall is what shocks me the most and gives away a crash. It appeared to flat line, then stimulus came in, then flat line again and now free fall. Just like every other crash.
Housing shortage - fail, didn't exist cant use that as an excuse Rates are at all time lows! people are coming back! - fail, 50% drop in approvals in WA as well as who wants a home loan that are not serviceable once rates are back up which we all know can climb well over 15% Lots of jobs - fail, nothing to do with jobs still falling. Rent is skyrocketing! - fail, nothing to do with rent. (almost nothing) I think the next excuse is something along the lines of 'China just did a stimulus! its all good! - fail, stimulus is nothing compared to what they used in 08/09 to delay us. They are directing a small bonus to promote internal consumption as well as promoting internal supply of resources NOT external. They learnt fast that's for sure, no more money for poor Australia. Of course this has resulted in .... BHP stops all upcoming projects' because turns out, they have now started to learn to produce materials themselves and cut out the 'middleman', that is Australia. what else will the bulls say. Hmm there's got to be a supply and demand excuse in there too. Something about market forces. Something about govt debt being different from private. (even though debt is debt regardless of which area takes it on) I think I'm just giving up on reading bull posts since they don't even make any sense at all.

Annualising a monthly price change to show a massive annual price change is just a gimmick. (Up or down)
p.s. Why don't you take a single day where it shows a 0.1% fall and then multiple it by 365 to give 36.5% annualised fall - sounds more sensational?

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.
