15.01.2022 Global property investments to grow, China interest in Sydney, Melbourne to rise. Global investments in properties are not expected to wane in 2016, with Sydney and Melbourne retaining their positions as the investment destinations of choice in Asia Pacific, a survey by the Asian Association for Investors in Non-listed Real Estate Vehicles (ANREV) has shown. According to its Investment Intentions Survey for 2016, global investors have expressed an intention to invest about $...US57.9 billion ($82.4 billion) in properties globally, a number similar to last year. The average investor is targeting an allocation of about 10.3 per cent of their investment budget in property, just ahead of last year's allocation of 9.4 per cent. Pension funds are the main investors and will be more aggressive in their investments than insurance companies, another big property investor. More than half surveyed by ANREV said they would increase their investments in property in the next two years and are looking at investing in Europe first, then in the US followed by Asia Pacific. In Asia Pacific, Sydney and Melbourne are the hot favourites as investment destinations. FOR THE FULL ARTICLE CLICK THE LINK BELOW:

08.01.2022 Prestige property leads house price falls. Sydney property prices fell for the second consecutive month and the top end fell fastest, dropping 2.3 per cent in December, the CoreLogic RP Data Home Value Index shows. Overall Sydney prices fell 1.2 per cent but price rises in Melbourne and Perth kept the overall national dwelling prices over the month flat. ... Perth was the surprise package recovering 2.3 per cent. "It's only a month, we won't see consistent rises in Perth. Values there are still down over the quarter and year to date. I expect to see the 2.3 per cent increase get clawed back over the next quarter," Corelogic RP Data head of research Tim Lawless said. FULL REPORT AT THE LINK BELOW:

05.01.2022 Mining downturn unseats speculators in Pilbara’s real estate market. The latest property snapshot for the Pilbara region in Western Australia’s north-west shows how big its real estate downturn is, with the mining mecca of Port Hedland’s average advertised house sale price the lowest since December 2006. Karratha’s too has fallen from $897,380 at its peak in the March 2013 quarter, to a low at the September 2015 quarter of $484,134, a drop of more than $400,000 in two years. ... Domain chief economist Dr Andrew Wilson said the end of the mining boom has driven prices down right across the state, including Perth, but the north-west is at the very epicentre of the market shakeout. He said while other parts of Australia have also seen big downturns associated with mining Mackay and Gladstone in the Queensland coalfields, for example their decline has been tempered by their broader housing markets not as dependent on mining and housing supply has increased with new residential area. In the Pilbara however, where mining is a more singular driver, the very limited number of properties were snapped up early by management companies and there was no drive to increase housing supply long-term. I think what occurred is because of the widespread notoriety of extraordinary well-publicised cases three or four years ago, of tin shacks getting a million dollars, we saw speculators move in and it wasn’t really reflective of a natural housing market dynamic, Wilson said. It was more about a commodity that was scarce and spectators taking advantage of that. He described the result as a casino market where speculators could make a profit depending on when they got out. However these latest figures show the music has well and truly stopped and some speculators have no chair left to sit on. Peard Real Estate Group chief executive officer Peter Peard said the company investigated the Pilbara market in 2011 and 2012 but recognised it was totally unsustainable. He says many investors had failed to undertake independent research to determine if the property spruikers’ claims of getting rich-quick had any substance. It’s a cautionary lesson for both investors and regulators, he said.

03.01.2022 Yields Fall As Office Blocks Prove Popular Investment Location. Strong demand for Australian office real estate has helped push yields down to multi-year lows in numerous capital cities over the December quarter. According to the latest Australia Office MarketView report from CBRE, 2015 saw $14.9 billion invested in Australian office real estate, well above the 10-year average of $9 billion.... That level of interest has resulted in yields from office blocks compressing to an Australian-wide mark of 6.1%, with Melbourne and Sydney recording significant declines. According to the report, yields from office blocks in Melbourne fell by 0.32% to a record low of 5.9% over the quarter. Yields from office blocks have not been that low in the Victorian capital since 2007.
