City home prices dropped more than a full percentage point in January, retreating for a second month in three, as floods in Queensland and Victoria deterred buyers.
National city home values slumped 1.6 per cent, seasonally adjusted, to $465,000 after rising 0.2 per cent in December, according to RP Data-Rismark figures. Outside of cities, they declined 1.2 per cent in the month.
The 1.6 per cent decline was the largest since 2005 when the index began, said RP Data's research director Tim Lawless.

House prices in Brisbane slumped 2.3 per cent in the three months to January, while they fell 1.9 per cent in Melbourne over that period. The prices also fell 3.8 per cent in Canberra, 1.4 per cent in Sydney and 2.6 per cent in Perth. Hobart bucked the trend, rising 0.6 per cent over the three-month period.
“The volume of sale transactions in January is normally much lower than other months due to the seasonality of the market,” Mr Lawless said. “This year the downturn in activity has been compounded by the spate of natural disasters experienced around the country.”
Auction clearance rates, a gauge of demand for new housing, have sunk to the 60 per cent level in recent weeks in Melbourne after hovering near 80 per cent in the first half of last year.
"We have had no value growth at all since May 2010 across the combined capitals and since January 2010 in the regions outside the capital cities,” said Mr Lawless.
The monthly house price drop for January compares with an increase of 0.2 per cent in December and a drop of 0.2 per cent.
Clearance rates
Sydney's clearance rate was 65 per cent last weekend, up from 60.3 per cent the week before, according to Fairfax-owned Australian Property Monitors. In Melbourne, however, the clearance rate slowed to 65.2 per cent last weekend, from 70.1 per cent the previous week.
Property analysts also note that an increasing number of sales are occuring by private negotiation rather than auction.
Despite the slowing demand for houses at auction, housing affordability remains an issue for many. Besides the steep median dwelling price at $465,000, buyers may also have to face higher interest rates later this year even as concerns about the global economy and the health of Australia's recovery linger.
“The RBA is deliberately seeking to temper activity in the household sector in order to make room for Australia’s resources boom," said Rismark joint managing directors Ben Skilbeck. "All interest rate and exchange rate sensitive sectors of the economy are feeling the pinch."
"If commodity prices collapse and the resources story unwinds care of, say, China slowing down, the RBA is likely to reduce interest rates and seek to stimulate demand in the household and consumer sectors,” said Mr Skilbeck.
The RBA will announce the interest rate setting for March tomorrow at 230pm, east coast summer time. The official cash rate has been at 4.75 per cent since November. |
