House sales jump 32% as prices fall
November 23, 2005
Sydney home owners have given up on the market improving in the near future, and have accepted that if they want to sell they will have to reduce their prices, new property figures show.
The median house price in Sydney fell 1.5 per cent in the September quarter to $520,000, but the number of sales increased 32 per cent, according to figures by the Real Estate Institute of NSW published yesterday.
John Wakefield, managing director of the property research company CPM Research, said the figures proved vendors were lowering their prices and buyers were re-entering the market.
"Vendors are becoming more realistic - they're accepting lower prices, and in some areas the median price has gone down fairly significantly."
In Botany, Hurstville and Rockdale the median house price fell more than 5 per cent in the three months to September.
Median house prices in Mosman, Sydney's most expensive suburb, experienced the sharpest drop, 16 per cent.
In the past year house prices in Holroyd, Hurstville, Mosman, Rockdale and Woollahra have fallen more than 10 per cent on average.
But Mr Wakefield said prices needed to drop even further.
'There's a natural tendency to not lower prices, but that can only be sustained for so long … Vendors are finding it very difficult to adjust to lower prices, partly because a lot of them bought three to four years ago, and for so long there was an expectation that prices would continue to go up every year."
Mr Wakefield added that he expected house prices to continue to fall next year.
Rod Cornish, head of property research at Macquarie Bank, agreed that the number of sales had risen because vendors had started to discount properties.
" eople have got a bit more confidence in purchasing because prices have come off a bit. But they have also waited a long time to purchase. We're two years into this downturn and people have waited a long time to buy."
The rise in the volume of sales was "reasonably significant" for Sydney, but the market faced a volatile few months and would not stabilise for another year, Mr Cornish said.
The president of the Real Estate Institute of NSW, Rowen Kelly, said the latest figures were good news for the industry.
"We have returned to a buyers' market in NSW, which will continue on the back of soft prices generated by the increasing range of property becoming available."
The influx of buyers was also partly due to the abolition of the vendor duty this year, Mr Kelly added. |
