【Interest rate cut in Australia】 Good news from Australia: the central bank’s rate cut brings new opportunities to the Brisbane real estate market

According to the latest data from Domain, an authoritative real estate platform in Australia, it is expected that by 2025, the price growth of stratified units in major Australian cities will exceed that of detached houses. Nicola Powell, head of economics and research at Domain, pointed out that this trend will bring new trends to the real estate market, especially for new buyers who are interested in buying a home, because the prices of stratified units (Apartments) and garden villas (Townhouses) are still relatively attractive to buyers.

Powell noted: “Historically, former houses have generally outperformed strata units in terms of capital growth. However, nothing is absolute and by 2025, we expect strata units in Brisbane, Australia, to outperform houses, which is a rare occurrence.” According to Domain’s year-end summary report, house prices in Brisbane are expected to rise by 5% to 7%, while strata unit prices will rise by 7% to 9%. This makes Brisbane one of the only major cities where strata unit values ​​will grow faster than houses, while strata unit and house values ​​in other cities will grow at similar rates.

Powell analysis points out that this trend will make strata units more attractive for shopping, especially for young buyers to enter the market more convenient. For first-time homebuyers, this will provide opportunities for capital growth and help open their investment path in the real estate market. In contrast, as the price of detached houses continues to rise, the pressure on first-time homebuyers to buy detached houses is gradually increasing. Therefore, it is expected that the growth trend of strata unit values ​​will encourage more people to consider strata units as the first choice for entering the real estate market.

In the past, the Australian real estate market preferred detached houses, reflecting the desire for traditional detached houses and land. However, with the economic pressure and changes in population structure, stratified units have gradually become the mainstream choice. In addition, some buyers have also begun to choose townhouses to replace independent houses with land.
