Australian home prices have undergone wild fluctuations in recent years, with major cities like Sydney and Melbourne leading the charge and hitting historical high.
HSBC’s latest forecast for this year put property price gains of 8% to 12% for Sydney, and 10% to 14% for Melbourne. This promising outlook, coupled with the recent sharp decline in both the Australian currency and the interest rates, points to an opportune time to take a serious look at Australia, and in particular, Melbourne.
Why Melbourne?
Authoritative studies have confirmed Melbourne’s enviable status as the world’s most liveable city for 7 years in a row. There has been a constant addition of people, numbering some 120,000 per annum into this increasingly popular Victorian capital city.
For the property market, the vacancy rate in major cities has always been low. Li points out that the property price of Melbourne is merely around 70% of that of Sydney and the rental yield of Melbourne is higher than Sydney.
