The latest property clock is out. Being that I'm isolated in my own little PERTH world, I tend to agree that we are at the bottom of the market. How long we sit here for is anyone's guess though...
I don't put any faith in that clock. They have Sydney in a rising market and the NSW Central Coast at the peak of the market. The NSW Central Coast peaks about 9-12 months AFTER Sydney (ripple effect) if history is anything to go by.
Yes like when they had Brisbane at rising market for a few months and then put it down at start of recovery again the next month. Which was fair enough. Brisbane had some good growth but there is still a long period of steady growth ahead imo to catch us up to the long run relative average.
That is because things are retracting. Just as the outliers peak later, they also decline first. When demand is weaker the nucleus is the safe bet.
Same as Melbourne being further across the market then Sydney. If Sydney is still rising then Melbourne would still be rising to. If Sydney was at the peak I can understand Melbourne might be in rising or reaching the peak. Then again I live in Melbourne so maybe I am just biased .
