NAB report predicts house prices to weaken


The latest forecast from the National Australian Bank is for house prices to weaken over the next two years. The NAB Residential Property Survey shows the housing market losing steam with price increases of around 1.5 per cent nationally, although an average of 4 per cent in the capital cities. Regionally prices in Victoria will grow the most (2.2 per cent) followed by Queensland (2.1 per cent) and New South Wales (1.5 per cent). In South Australia and the Northern Territories there will be little change while Western Australia is predicted to see a fall in prices of 0.2 per cent. All capital cities are forecast to see increased prices; Brisbane (5.7 per cent), Sydney (4.1 per cent), Melbourne (2.7 per cent),  Adelaide (2.1 per cent) and Perth (1.8 per cent). The report expects purchases of new property by foreign buyers to be around 15 per cent, roughly in line with the last two quarters. Apartments continue to be the most popular choice for foreign buyers. The NAB report also shows weakness in the rental market. For investors, rent expectations are for national growth of 0.8 per cent although Queensland and Victoria will fare better.
