Not all apartment amenities are immediately visible.

Swimming pools, gyms, rooftop terraces and residents' lounges have long featured on buyers' wishlists, but as the way Australians live has changed, so too have the features that make apartment living more convenient.

Increasingly, buyers are placing value on the practical aspects of day-to-day life. Fast internet, EV charging, secure bike storage, flexible workspaces and parcel management are becoming just as relevant as lifestyle amenities, reflecting changing habits and expectations.

Online shopping has been one of the biggest drivers of that shift.

Australians spent a record $82.6 billion shopping online in 2025, with almost one in every four retail dollars now spent digitally, making parcel deliveries a routine part of everyday life rather than an occasional convenience.

For apartment residents, however, receiving those deliveries isn't always straightforward.

Without someone home to accept a parcel, deliveries can be redirected to a nearby Post Office, left in building foyers or common areas, or require building management to temporarily store packages. As apartment living continues to grow across Australia's cities, parcel management has become an increasingly important consideration for both residents and developers.

Australia Post's Parcel Locker network is one response to that shift.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KPZ9j5FRdsQ?si=Qztc1dNP3ZvEIUhb" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Rather than relying on home delivery, eligible parcels can be directed to a nominated Parcel Locker, where they're securely stored until collected. Once a parcel arrives, residents receive a notification through the AusPost app or SMS and can retrieve it using a one-time code or QR code at a time that suits them.

The network has expanded to more than 1,500 locations nationwide, with Parcel Lockers positioned at Post Offices, shopping centres, supermarkets, transport hubs and, increasingly, within or alongside residential developments.

That growing presence reflects a broader change in how apartment buildings are being planned.

Developers are increasingly considering the operational side of apartment living alongside traditional lifestyle amenities. Just as secure mailrooms, bicycle storage and EV charging have become more common inclusions, parcel management is emerging as another feature that supports everyday convenience.

It also helps preserve the arrival experience within a building. Carefully designed lobbies and communal spaces can quickly become cluttered when deliveries accumulate, while secure parcel solutions reduce the likelihood of missed deliveries or parcels being left unattended.

For buyers comparing apartments, these everyday details are becoming part of the decision-making process.

Location, floorplans and finishes remain fundamental, but the features that simplify daily life are carrying greater weight than they once did. As online shopping continues to shape consumer behaviour, secure parcel delivery is increasingly becoming another amenity worth looking for.

Parcel delivery is joining the apartment amenity checklist

Inca Property Group has lodged a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for Dawn, a 53-apartment oceanfront development overlooking Mona Vale Beach.

The proposal, at 35-39 Darley Street East, would replace an existing 18-apartment strata building with a new owner-occupier-focused development comprising 53 two and three-bedroom apartments, including nine affordable built-to-rent residences delivered under the State's infill affordable housing scheme.

Positioned on a 2,679 sqm elevated site around 280 metres from Mona Vale Beach, the development has been designed to maximise panoramic ocean views while responding to the site's sloping topography.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/inca-property-group">Inca Property Group</a> Managing Director Josh Thompson said the State Significant pathway provided greater certainty for projects of this scale.

"This State Significant pathway gives the team real certainty to progress <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/dawn-35-39-darley-street-east-mona-vale-nsw-2103">Dawn</a> through to completion," Thompson said.

"It allows us to acquire a one-off site, design it carefully and deliver the right offering for the suburb, assessed by the NSW Government's planning department."

The project is one of the first developments in the area to be assessed under the NSW Government's Low and Mid-Rise Housing policy, with the site sitting on the edge of the policy's designated inner area.

The proposal includes three basement levels providing 124 car spaces, alongside a range of resident amenities including a swimming pool, gym, sauna, wellness facilities and private plunge pools for selected ground-floor and penthouse apartments.

<img alt="Dawn" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fc1a1daf-0ce4-4f12-9076-b1fa553c7a91" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-21%20at%208.42.11%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4GZ9h.gpNkTljbxyAET8Jfhv51XUamDm" />

Thompson said Dawn had been designed specifically for owner-occupiers and downsizers, a buyer profile that has driven demand across Inca's recent Upper North Shore developments.

"The majority of buyers in our recent North Shore projects have been downsizers, and we are learning exactly what this market is looking for. Beyond the location itself, we have included resort-style amenities to deliver a genuine lifestyle offering," Thompson said.

Located within walking distance of Mona Vale Beach, the town centre, Mona Vale Golf Club and the Royal Motor Yacht Club, Dawn represents Inca's first Northern Beaches project following the sell-out of Tara on Park in Waitara and Ellis Residences, currently under construction in St Ives.

Construction will be undertaken by Inca's in-house construction arm, GOP Constructions.

Dawn is the latest major apartment proposal for Mona Vale, with the suburb emerging as one of the key beneficiaries of the NSW Government's new Low and Mid-Rise Housing policy.

New developer One Living, led by industry veteran Joseph Scuderi, recently secured a site on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, where it is planning around 140 apartments.

IPM is also planning its third project in Mona Vale, significantly increasing the scale of its previous developments with an 82-apartment proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/159-167-darley-street-west-mona-vale-nsw-2103">159-167 Darley Street West</a>, opposite Bayview Golf Course and less than 800 metres from Mona Vale town centre.

Seasoned Victorian apartment developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/central-equity">Central Equity</a> has logged more than $400 million in sales in its luxury apartment project Palmera Residences at Northcliffe on the Gold Coast.&nbsp;

Central Equity Director Karl Kutner said the sales result reflected a combination of location, product quality and delivery certainty with the project already under construction by building powerhouse Multiplex.&nbsp;

"Surpassing $400 million in sales since launch is a significant milestone and an outstanding endorsement of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/palmera-residences-gold-coast-18-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Palmera Residences</a>,” he said.&nbsp;

"We believe one of the key reasons for this strong result is the confidence purchasers have in knowing the project is under construction with Multiplex. Buyers are increasingly looking for certainty. They want to know that the project they commit to today will be delivered by an experienced team with a proven track record."&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365782]

Kutner said it was clear there was still high demand for luxury projects that offered certainty of delivery.&nbsp;

“We are in a market where many residential developments have faced delays due to rising construction costs, labour shortages and financing challenges,” said Kutner.&nbsp;

"But having construction underway has provided our buyers with resounding confidence backed by more than 40 years of development delivery by Central Equity combined with construction by one of Australia's most respected construction companies."&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365785]

Central Equity is one of Australia's most experienced privately-owned property developers. Over more than four decades, the company has delivered in excess of 85 residential developments including 10,000 apartments and many thousands of stand alone homes.&nbsp;

Located on Garfield Terrace at Northcliffe, between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, Palmera Residences occupies one of the Gold Coast's most sought after beachside locations. The development has been designed to appeal to owner occupiers seeking premium residences that combine generous living spaces and resort style amenities.&nbsp;

Palmera Residences will feature an exceptional collection of resort style amenities, including two swimming pools: a generously sized family pool with safe shallow zones for relaxed recreation, and a 20 metre lap pool positioned to maximise all day sunlight.&nbsp;

Residents will also enjoy exclusive access to wellness and recreational facilities including a magnesium pool, sauna, yoga studio, expansive fitted gymnasium, resident lounge, outdoor BBQ’s&nbsp;and indoor and outdoor dining areas, together with a dedicated concierge and luxurious hotel inspired entrance foyer.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365767]

A unique feature at Palmera Residences has been designed to enhance the Gold Coast lifestyle which includes both indoor and outdoor gymnasium facilities, together with thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor dining and entertaining areas. A corner café has also been incorporated to provide residents with a destination for their everyday needs.&nbsp;

Kutner said buyer demand had been broad based with purchasers attracted from interstate as well as throughout South East Queensland.&nbsp;

"We're seeing strong interest from owner occupiers, lifestyle buyers and people relocating to the Gold Coast. Many purchasers have been searching for a premium beachside residence where quality, design and delivery are equally important."&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365771]

Kutner said the sales milestone was an important achievement, but the focus remained firmly on delivering an exceptional development.&nbsp;

"While reaching $400 million in sales is an important milestone, our priority remains delivering a project that exceeds purchaser expectations,” he said.&nbsp;

"Palmera Residences has been designed to become one of the Gold Coast's landmark residential addresses, and we look forward to welcoming our purchasers to their new homes."&nbsp;

There are a limited number of residences remaining in selected configurations with pricing from $2,950,000 to $8,950,000. Palmera Residences is also crowned by expansive penthouses with wrap around views.

Construction certainty and strong buyer demand drive major sales result for luxury Gold Coast development

Palmera Residences fly out the door as sales pass $400 million

National property developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields</a> has appointed BINAH as its construction partner for Quartet, its new Brisbane apartment development in the undersupplied suburb of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/milton-qld-4064">Milton</a>.

Located just two kilometres from the Brisbane CBD and moments from key 2032 Olympic precincts, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/quartet-milton-33-manning-street-milton-qld-4064">Quartet</a> will deliver 131 one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments priced from $1 million to $4.2 million, combining elevated design with a wellness-focused lifestyle offering.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=368000]

Goldfields’ Chief Executive Officer, Lachlan Thompson, said the appointment of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/binah-constructions">BINAH</a> marked an important milestone for the project.&nbsp;

“Bringing BINAH on board as our construction partner will allow us to bring our vision for Quartet forward with a team that has a proven track record of delivering high-quality residential projects,” Thompson said.&nbsp;

“We’ve taken a considered approach to progressing the site because we wanted to deliver the whole package. Buyers ultimately back great developers, great projects and great builders, and with Quartet, we’ve made sure all three line up.

“People want certainty, they want to know the project will be built, that the homes will be delivered as promised, and that the developer stands behind the quality of what they create. That’s something Goldfields has built its reputation on over many years.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=367993]

BINAH’s Managing Director, Khalil Hafza, said the company was proud to be partnering with Goldfields to deliver Quartet.&nbsp;

“Quartet is an exciting project to bring to life, particularly given the level of detail in the residences and the extensive rooftop amenity planned for the building,” Mr Hafza said.&nbsp;

“Our focus is on delivering a high-quality build that brings that design vision to life and creates homes residents will enjoy for many years.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=367999]

The facilities at Quartet have been feared towards the roof, with a&nbsp;25 metre lap pool, spa, sauna and cold plunge, and a communal barbecue area and alfresco.

Town planning was designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> and brought to life by Melbourne-based architecture firm Cera Stribley.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/cera-stribley">Cera Stribley</a> Co-Founder and Managing Principal, Dom Cerantonio, said the project responds to both its riverside setting and Brisbane’s evolving urban character.&nbsp;

“Quartet has been designed to sit comfortably within its riverside context, offering a refined take on urban living through well-planned, generously proportioned residences that will stand the test of time,” Mr Cerantonio said.&nbsp;

“An emphasis on natural light, natural textures and carefully selected finishes from timber and marble to premium appliances, creates calm, considered interiors designed for comfort and long-term liveability.”&nbsp;

Construction of Quartet will commence in July 2026, with completion anticipated in Q4 2028.

Goldfields appoints BINAH for Quartet apartments in Milton

The first partnership between national developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/fortis">Fortis</a> and Adelaide-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/otello">Otello</a> has made a strong start, with the pair securing $21 million in unconditional sales at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/one-four-four-hutt-adelaide-144-hutt-street-adelaide-sa-5000">One Four Four Hutt</a>&nbsp;on the edge of the Adelaide CBD.

Over a third of apartments have been snapped up in the boutique 44-apartment project on the corner of Hutt Stret and Wakefield Road. Local downsizers and owner-occupiers wanting to remain in Adelaide's tightly-held southeast quarter have been the most prominent purchasers.

The DKO-designed, mixed-use development is one of the few new apartment projects in the precinct, an area where new housing supply has remained limited despite continued demand from buyers wanting to stay close to the CBD, Victoria Park and Adelaide's established east-end amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151233 project_image_fid=375378]

Fortis Head of Development SA Arthur Dendrinos said the early sales reflected both the strength of the local owner-occupier market and confidence in the Hutt Street location.

"The level of early commitment reflects the confidence local buyers have in the Hutt Street precinct," Dendrinos said.

"Many purchasers are long-term east-end residents who love the area and want to stay connected to the neighbourhood. They recognise the value of a well-designed, well-located development.

"Our partnership with Otello has been central to this success, and the number of unconditional sales at this stage only strengthens our confidence in the South Australian market."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151233 project_image_fid=375379]

Otello Director Daniel Harris said the sales result also highlighted the lack of new apartment opportunities within the Hutt Street precinct.

"One Four Four Hutt has clearly resonated with buyers, with strong early sales reflecting both the appeal of the Hutt Street corridor and the lifestyle on offer," Harris said.

"The activated ground-floor retail has also been a key drawcard, with purchasers responding to the vision of a more vibrant and connected streetscape, not just the residences themselves."

One Four Four Hutt will deliver 44 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, alongside a collection of penthouses, above a ground-floor retail offering designed to further activate the Hutt Street precinct.

Construction is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of this year, with completion anticipated in 2028.

Fortis Head of Development SA Arthur Dendrinos said the early sales reflected both the strength of the local owner-occupier market and confidence in the Hutt Street location.

House Price Growth

<html><body>
EXPERT OBSERVER
Over the weekend I spoke to crowds of people with their heads crammed full of media misinformation.
The number one point of discussion was the general perception that prices are falling across Australia, thanks to simplistic analysis and inaccurate headlines.
In reality, the latest monthly price report from CoreLogic (the source of most articles and headlines on prices) tells us that there are 14 major market jurisdictions across Australia (eight capital cities and six state regional areas) – and nine of the 14 have price levels higher than last year.
I see plenty of potential for buyers to find locations where prices are rising or are on the cusp of a growth phase.
How do you find them? Here are four markers that provides clues to future price growth …
1 The underlying local economy is rising
In 2011 when the government changed in New South Wales, the state ranked as one of the weakest economies in the nation, according to CommSec’s State of the States report.
But with proactive governance and increased spending on infrastructure, NSW rose steadily up the rankings to eventually become the nation’s strongest economy. Out of that came the Sydney property boom.
There was a similar story in Tasmania. Traditionally Tasmania has ranked as our weakest economy but, following a major change of state government in 2014, the state rose up the national rankings, eventually reaching its current position of No.4, ahead of Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.
The marked improvement in the state economy gave rise to the growth in the Hobart property market, now the strongest among the capital cities for price growth.
The linkages between capital city property markets and the underlying state economy are undeniably strong.
So where does this marker point us for the next growth markets among the capital cities?
There are definite signs of improvement in the economies of Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland.
This, along with other indicators, suggests better growth in the property markets in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane.
2 Demand has risen but prices haven’t moved much - yet
Three capital cities stand out for this reason: Perth, Canberra and Adelaide.
There has been significant uplift in sales activity in Perth, as the underlying state economy improves.
Canberra sales activity is rising steadily also, and Adelaide currently has one of the most active markets among the capital cities.
When demand rises, prices tend to follow. One major forecaster has tipped Canberra to lead on price growth in the next 2-3 years. I think the national capital will definitely be a contender, but so will Perth and Adelaide.
3 Rents have risen strongly, but prices haven’t moved much - yet
Before Sydney prices started to rise, we saw a couple of years of strong growth in residential rentals. Before house prices started to move in Hobart, it was noticeable that vacancies were extremely low and that rents were rising. Prices followed.
So where are those conditions most evident right now in capital city Australia? The clear answer is Canberra, where vacancies are below 1% and residential rents have risen strongly in the past year or so, according to SQM Research data.
We’re also observing significant improvement in the Perth rental market, with vacancies declining and leasing activity rising.
4 Prices overall haven’t moved much, but the Top End has had strong growth
Sydney’s growth cycle started at the Top End and rippled out over time. In Melbourne, the up-cycle began in the millionaire suburbs and gravitated from there to the middle ring and more recently to the outer ring suburbs.
This is a common pattern in property cycles. And right now there are three capital cities where the million-dollar suburbs have had double-digit price growth in the past year, but the market overall has not had big price growth.
Those three cities are Perth, Adelaide and Canberra.
Where do all these markers point us?
Put all those indicators together and they point to strong price growth in the near future in three capital cities:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">Canberra: the underlying economy ranks third in the nation, it has the highest average incomes and lowest unemployment, vacancies are low and the rental growth is the highest in the nation, sales activity (demand) is increasing and the Top End prices have risen strongly.</li>
<li class="li1">Adelaide: the state economy is improving and has big growth drivers in the system, vacancies are below average, demand is rising, yields are strong and Top End prices have risen at above-average rates.</li>
<li class="li1">Perth: the state economy is recovering, vacancies are falling, rental activity is rising, sales activity is steadily improving and Top End prices have recorded double-digit annual growth in many of the millionaire suburbs.</li>
</ul>
Brisbane will get on board if the signals of an improving state economy and the promise of big spending on infrastructure actually come to pass.

Four key markers for property investors of future price growth

<html><body>
Australia has some very strong property markets right now.
But if you rely on mainstream media for information, you’re unlikely to know about them.
Most of our media originates in Sydney and Melbourne and those two places are obsessed with themselves. Writers would rather tell us about the decline in the two biggest cities than the strongly-rising markets elsewhere.
They also commit the cardinal sin of generalising and treating Australia as a single market. So you’ll be seeing headlines like “Property prices fall across Australia” which means the national average, according to one heavily-featured source, is in the negative, dragged down by Sydney’s correction.
If we hear about anywhere other than Sydney and Melbourne, it will be confirmation that Hobart is the No.1 capital city market on speed of sale, price growth and low vacancies (but no longer the cheapest of the capital cities, Hobart having overtaken depressed Darwin).
But Hobart is not the strongest market in the nation. The locations competing for that title are all in regional Australia, that large place largely forgotten by economists, journalists and investors.
If you’re a property investor looking for the next growth possibility and you’re not considering the regions, then you’re missing opportunities to buy affordably in areas with strong yields and great potential for growth.
I would venture that, right now, the three strongest market jurisdictions in Australian real estate are:-
<ol class="ol1">
<li class="li1">Regional New South Wales</li>
<li class="li1">Regional Victoria</li>
<li class="li1">Regional Tasmania</li>
</ol>
The common denominator here is this: as the capital city markets in those states wind down, their regional markets are cranking up.
This is a regular pattern in real estate cycles. The growth cycle starts, often, in the inner-city areas of the capital cities, then ripples out through the middle ring to the outer ring over 3-4 years – and the growth eventually ripples beyond the capital city to regional areas nearby.
Regional markets are not totally reliant on their capital cities for growth – many are strong economies in their own right and will show growth regardless of what’s happening in the big city. 
But there’s no doubt that some of their momentum comes from events in the capital – and the closer they are geographically to the big city, the more likely it is that they will catch the growth wave.
Some regional markets close to Sydney and Melbourne got on their growth paths quite early and have already reached their peaks. That’s true of Geelong just outside Melbourne and also for Wollongong and the Central Coast near Sydney. Newcastle, arguably the strongest market in Australia right now, is also well advanced in its cycle.
But most of the regional markets are just getting started. So, if you’re an investor looking for growth possibilities at attractive prices, these places should be considered.
Regional NSW
Many Newcastle suburbs have grown their median house prices by more than 20 percent in the past year. Now that growth surge is rippling out to nearby areas, like the Lake Macquarie LGA and the towns of the Hunter Valley.
But growth markets are spread across regional NSW. Having recently analysed the latest batch of quarterly sales figures, I’ve found 38 local government areas in regional NSW with locations where sales activity is upwardly mobile.
They include major regional centres like Albury, Dubbo, Orange, Tamworth and Wagga Wagga (pictured top) - and also small towns unlikely to ever trouble the minds of city investors, like Cootamundra, Inverell, Kempsey and Tumut.
Regional Victoria
The rise of the Geelong market is widely know. It’s been the market leader in Victoria for the past 12-18 months, generally out-performing Melbourne. Some of the cheaper suburbs of Geelong have had growth above 20 percent in the past year.
But now Geelong has been overtaken by Ballarat, which is attracting lots of attention from Melbourne buyers and others. And, just lately, Bendigo has decided to challenge.
Ballarat and Bendigo each has its own character but some factors in common, such as strong economies, growing populations, major infrastructure spending, good links to the state capital and lots of affordable homes. They’re both worth a look.
The main towns in Cardinia Shire, namely Pakenham and Officer, have had exceptional growth recently. Pakenham’s median is up 20% and Officer has grown almost 30%.
Many other regional centres are rising, including Shepparton, Warragul and Bass Coast towns like Wonthaggi.
Regional Tasmania
Hobart’s market has been barrelling along for the past two years and more recently Launceston joined the party. But now smaller centres have sparked to life, notably up in the north of the state, including Devonport, Ulverstone, Burnie and Latrobe.
I’m not suggesting you should rush out and buy in these places – but to be aware of the trend.
It’s not true that “the property boom is over”, nor is it true that “Australian property prices are falling”. There are green shoots popping up in many different places – it’s just that many of them are in regional Australia, so you’re unlikely to hear much about them from mainstream media.

The property rebound is on: Pete Wargent

Property prices are expected to rise across multiple markets in 2021, according to ME’s head of home loans, Andrew Bartolo. 

He expects a resilient housing market that has weathered the economic pressures of COVID-19 together with lower interest rates will give homebuyers and investors’ confidence.  

According to a ME survey of 1,500 households conducted this month, 46 percent of owner occupiers expect the value of their dwelling to increase during 2021.

Only 5 percent anticipate a decline reflecting a substantial change from six-month prior when only 22 percent expected dwelling prices to rise and 25 percent expected them to decline.

Sentiment among those intending to buy or sell in the next 12 months will likely be "two-speed," he expects.

"Many will be looking to buy or sell as soon as possible, while others may delay their move until they feel more confident about their own personal finances and/or the economy.”

Buyer activity is expected to be up year on year due to so much of 2020 being affected by lockdowns and buyers and sellers waiting to see. 

“More investors will re-emerge in 2021 in search of income and capital growth.

"Record low interest rates will drive momentum across the market.

“Strong first home buyer activity will also continue, after a brief dip in property prices.

"Historically low interest rates, stamp duty exemptions, government grants and the absence of foreign investors will continue to propel first home buyers into action.”

He expects early 2021 is expected to be a bumper property season that will rival the traditional spring frenzy as buyers respond to a late surge in auction listings. 

“Topping the property trends in 2021 is the desire for ‘urban village’ living, related to the significant increase of professionals working from home," he noted.

“While there are still many challenges including unemployment, job insecurity and lower immigration, we’re seeing some positive signs: improved consumer confidence, stronger auction clearance rates, more transactions, and falling loan deferrals – generally considered proof of a healthier market."

National house values grew a further 0.7 per cent over March, however growth tailed off toward the end of the month due to the economic impact of COVID-19, CoreLogic found.
It was the lowest monthly gain since the market began to bounce back in July last year.
The housing market began to soften however towards the end of the month, with social distancing and a move to online auctions taking its toll on consumer confidence.
In a shock turnaround, CoreLogic's monthly Hedonic Home Value Index found Darwin to be the best performer over the month, with dwelling values jumping two per cent, although they remain -5.6 per cent down annually.
Only Hobart (-0.2 per cent) saw dwelling values decline over March.
Sydney confirmed its status as the nation's best performing real estate market with a +1.1 per cent rise in dwelling values, pulling away from Melbourne who saw a more modest +0.4 per cent.

The harbour capital has seen its dwelling values rise +3.9 per cent over the quarter and +13 per cent annually, followed by Melbourne's +2.9 per cent quarterly rise and +12 per cent annual growth.
Sydney's March value rise was spread evenly across houses and units, whereas Melbourne's houses (+0.7 per cent) outperformed units (+0.1 per cent).
CoreLogic head of research Tim Lawless said, “Although Australia’s housing markets have begun to enter a period of disruption, they are coming from strong foundations.”
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/4/1/CoreLogic%20March%2031%20index.jpg" alt=""> CoreLogic's March 2020 value index. Source: CoreLogic
He said that recent trends in the market have become less relevant as we move into a period of unprecedented uncertainty which is likely to impact further on household confidence and drag Australia’s economy into a recession for the first time in almost 30 years.

“The housing market won’t be immune to a drop in sentiment and weaker economy, however the extent of the impact on dwelling values remains highly uncertain", Lawless suggested.
"Capital growth trends will be contingent on how long it takes to contain the virus, and whether additional constraints on business or personal activity are introduced.”
Lawless says he is expecting the number of sales to fall dramatically over the coming months due to a decline in consumer confidence, a rising jobless rate and more cautious lending practices.

"Restrictions on open homes and on-site auctions will compound the slowdown in buyer activity, as would any future policy announcements related to peripheral services such as building and pest inspections, conveyancing and furniture removals", Lawless said.
“Considering the temporary nature of this crisis, along with unprecedented levels of government stimulus, leniency from lenders for distressed borrowers and record low interest rates, housing values are likely to more be insulated than sales activity.
“The extent of any fall in housing values is impossible to fathom without first understanding the length of time this health and economic crisis persists. Arguably, the longer it takes to contain the virus and bring economic operations back to normal, the higher the downside risk to housing values.”

March sees last gasp property price rise, but growth tails off: CoreLogic

<html><body>
Every capital city apart from Darwin saw dwelling values rise over February, according to CoreLogic's Hedonic Home Value Index.
The national index is now just 1.2 per cent below its 2017 peak before prices started to decline.
CoreLogic's head of research Tim Lawless said at the current rate of growth, the national index is likely to reach a new nominal high over the next two months.

Sydney and Melbourne's drastic turnaround continued.
The two biggest capital city markets now in double digit annual returns since the market peaked in mid-2017.
The harbour capital was the best performer over the quarter (+4.6%), ahead of Melbourne (+3.9%).
Both markets have primarily been driven by the turnaround in the housing market.
Sydney house values over the quarter are 5.4% higher, compared to 2.9% in units. It's the same story in Melbourne, houses up 4.5%, units 2.7%.
In fact Melbourne was the most recent capital to stage a nominal recovery, with housing values surpassing the September 2017 peak last month. 
Melbourne has joined with Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart and Adelaide where housing values are also tracking at record highs.

“The primary factors driving this rebound remain in place and include an extremely low cost of debt and improved borrowing capacity," Lawless said.
"However, considering the sluggish pace of household income growth, housing affordability is eroding rapidly which is likely to see some parts of the market become less active.”
The most expensive end of the market has seen the strongest performance, following the larger correction, however Lawless suggests "structural factors may also be at play".
He said this includes a rise in borrowing capacity following changes to serviceability assessment from APRA in July 2019 and the dominance of owner occupier buyers (rather than investors) through the recovery phase to date.”
“With lenders favouring ‘high quality’ borrowers, buyers with a large deposit and low level of debt relative to their incomes, are likely to be those who receive the lowest mortgage rates - another factor that could be supporting demand at the more expensive end of the market.”

Sydney and Melbourne drive national house values up 1.1 per cent in February: CoreLogic

<html><body>
Sydney house prices could make their way back above their 2017 peak next year, according to a new report by SQM Research.
Christopher's Housing Boom and Bust Report 2020 forecasts Sydney prices to grow between 10 per cent and 14 per cent, if factors in the most likely scenario come to fruition.
Their base scenario forecasts are built on if there are no further rate cuts in 2020, that the economy recovers and there is no APRA intervention until at least late 2020.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/11/14/SQM%20sceanrio%20forecasts.jpg" alt="">
Sydney house prices dropped peak to trough around 15 per cent since late 2017, with the slowdown coming to an end in June.
Since then, according to CoreLogic, there have been 5.3 per cent gains over the last four months. 
“The Sydney and Melbourne housing markets have recorded a sharp turnaround in the 2nd half of 2019 following on from the surprise result of the Federal Election, interest rate cuts, the loosening of credit restrictions and ongoing strong population growth rates," SQM Research boss Louis Christopher says.
"These factors are expected to drive the national housing market into 2020. In a close call, APRA is expected to not immediately intervene despite the strong price rises."
Christopher suggests however that long term, Sydney and Melbourne markets look vulnerable and forever reliant on cheap credit.
""Sydney and Melbourne are rising from an overvalued point," Christopher says.
"Housing debt, while falling compared to GDP over 2019, is still very high.
"Better value can definitely found elsewhere such as Perth and Brisbane”, Christopher added. 
Melbourne house prices are forecast to <a href="/expert-insights/buying/melbourne-house-prices-tipped-to-rise-by-up-to-15-per-cent-sqm-research">see up to 15 per cent growth</a>.

Sydney house prices could jump 14 per cent in 2020: SQM Research

Sydney and Melbourne have continued their resurgence over September, jostling for the best performing capital.
They both saw dwelling values rise 1.7 per cent, taking Sydney's quarter value rise to 3.5 per cent, slightly higher than Melbourne's 3.4 per cent.
Last month <a href="/expert-insights/buying/sydney-and-melbourne-house-and-apartment-prices-power-ahead-in-august-corelogic">both saw 1.6 per cent gains</a>.
National dwelling values were up 0.9 per cent,

The two major capital city markets are now the best performers over the quarter, dating back to July, the <a href="/news/perth-downturn-continues-but-sydney-and-melbourne-carry-on-resurgence-corelogic">first month they recorded value gains</a> after over 18 months of declines.
Canberra was a strong performer with one per cent gains over September after recording 0.8 per cent gains last month.
Brisbane's dwelling values rose slightly to continue its steady quarterly performance.
In Adelaide dwelling values held firm over September, however Darwin, Hobart and Perth all saw declines.
Hobart's -0.4 per cent declines were the biggest surprise having secured 0.5 per cent gains last month. Darwin recovered slightly from a -1.2 per cent decline in August to just -0.2 per cent in September.
Perth's property market has gone from bad to worse. They are now -1.9 per cent down over the quarter and nine per cent annually. The -0.8 per cent declines added to the -0.5 per cent drop in values last month.
The bounce back in Sydney and Melbourne continues to be driven by houses which rose 1.9 per cent over September.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/10/1/Capitals%20house%20and%20unit%20September.jpg" alt="">
Sydney's median house price is now back over $900,000. It was the biggest value jump for Sydney houses in over two years.
Melbourne's median house price is $729,000.
Units both still cleared one per cent, with Melbourne's units performing the stronger over the month, equalling Sydney's 3.3 per cent gains over the quarter.
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
CoreLogic head of research Tim Lawless said buyers in Sydney and Melbourne still have time to take advantage of the big declines they saw over 2018.
“Although housing values are now consistently tracking higher, at least at a macro-level, the national index remains 6.8% below the October 2017 peak, indicating that buyers still have some time to take advantage of improved housing affordability before values return to record highs," Lawless said.
House values remain 11.9% below their July 2017 peak in Sydney and 7.9% below Melbourne’s November 2017 peak.
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
Lawless believes that the strong rebound in Sydney and Melbourne housing markets relative to other regions, can be attributed to a variety of factors. 
While all regions are benefitting from low mortgage rates and improved access to credit, economic and demographic conditions in New South Wales and Victoria continue to outperform most areas of the country. 
"Population growth is higher, unemployment is lower and jobs growth is stronger, providing a solid platform for housing demand.”
