According to the latest BIS Shrapnel report Residential Prospects 2015-2018, house prices will start to fall in 2016 – 2017, as affordability declines and coincides with the threat of rising interest rates. They suggest the three year outlook for Sydney does not justify the current level of frenzied spending and that the median Sydney house price by June 2018, will only be 2% higher than it is today, still under the $1 million mark.
The Financial Review reports that AMP Capital chief economist, Shane Oliver is in agreeance: “The real risk for property is in 2017 when the Reserve Bank starts raising rates and then you will see prices come off 5 –10%, particularly in Sydney”. However, Brisbane apartment prices are set to be higher in June 2018 than they are today. Brisbane is the only capital city flagged in the BIS Shrapnel report, to experience apartment price rises in the next three year period. In fact, a median house price growth of 7% for the next year and 13% over the forecast 3 year period. Improvement in affordability in Brisbane will spur stronger growth, whereas Sydney and Melbourne will decrease due to the worsening affordability.
