The year began with stable interest rates, hinting at a potential recovery in property prices. However, hopes were dashed when the cash rate increased by 25 basis points in November 2023, significantly reducing buyer demand just as some stability in borrowing capacity had emerged.
This led to a continuous decline in auction clearance rates throughout the year, which remained well below historical averages.
Regardless of these setbacks, Melbourne experienced robust interstate migration, which buoyed demand in early 2024, despite the economic impacts of earlier rate hikes. Early in the new year, auction clearance rates saw a notable uptick, even with an increase in available properties.
Many buyers who postponed purchases in 2023 returned with larger down payments to secure homes before market conditions potentially deepened.
Additionally, there was a noticeable shift in buyer preferences towards units, particularly in the lower end of the market segment. This shift drove up demand and prices for units, contrasting with the challenges faced by the broader housing market.
Demand for new homes continued to falter due to various factors including the end of government incentives like the HomeBuilder Scheme, successive cash rate increases, and ongoing challenges in the construction sector.
Labour costs remained a significant driver of high building expenses, despite some stabilisation in material costs. The supply of new land remained restricted to avoid oversupply, which could further depress property prices.
To stimulate demand, developers continued to offer incentives and rebates ranging from 5% to 10% of the headline price, particularly for lots that had been on the market for an extended period.
In Q1 2024, Melbourne’s median lot price slightly decreased to $384,350, excluding incentives and rebates.
