Welcome to the Cushman & Wakefield Atlas Outlook 2016,
an update on the International Investment Atlas that reviews
how the market performed last year and, more particularly,
what we should anticipate for the year ahead.
We have examined a series of questions when approaching this publication:
what are the key forces driving and transforming the global market? Who will be
the winners in this volatile environment? How should a subsequent investment
strategy be most advantageously aligned?
Of course, in a highly uncertain but fast changing world, the need for insightful
research is increased – but the task of delivering a robust and well-considered
view is made more difficult. By bringing together expert opinion from across our
capital markets, occupier and research teams around the world, we have sought
to answer this challenge and hope you agree we have delivered a concise but
thoughtful review of the state of the market and the outlook for the year ahead.
Capital Markets Industry Insights - Q1 2016Duff & Phelps
Prospective middle-market issuers are being greeted with robust demand from both traditional private credit investors and crossover public market participants. While monetary policy concerns weighed heavily on market participants for much of the first quarter, the Fed’s more dovish posture of recent weeks has triggered an increase in risk appetite across the credit markets.
Over the March 2016 quarter, 9.2% of all homes resold recorded a gross loss when compared to their previous purchase price.
• Around 1/3 (31.9%) of homes resold for more than double their previous purchase price.
The total value of homes resold at a profit was recorded at $12.9b with the average gross profit recorded at $239,855.
During the second quarter of 2016, acquisitive middle-market issuers capitalized on lenders’ increased risk appetite by entering into attractively priced and structured financings. The dramatic rally in Treasury yields (and other safe haven assets) triggered by the “Brexit” referendum at quarter’s end, augurs well for further improvement in domestic credit market conditions.

The Quarterly Australian Residential Property Market and Economy Report, released May 2016
CoreLogic has just released the Australian Residential Property Market and Economy Report for Q1 2016.
Summary from this month's report
• Combined capital city home values increased by 0.2% in March with value rises recorded in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin while values fell elsewhere
• Over the 12 months to March 2015 it is estimated that there were 340,255 houses and 132,359 units sold nationally
• Capital city rental rates have recorded a -0.2% fall over the past year which is their weakest conditions on record
• The typical capital city home is currently selling after 60 days on the market compared to 53 days a year ago
• Over the past 28 days there were 41,381 new homes listed for sale which is -2.2% lower than a year ago

• Home values increased by 0.9% in January however they were lower over the past 3 months
• House sales have levelled while unit transactions are trending lower
• Rental rates continue to increase at their slowest annual pace on record
• Selling time of homes is seeing a seasonal spike while discounting is also increasing slightly
• Listing values are starting to rise from their seasonal slumber and are higher than a year ago
Capital city dwelling values increase by 1.0% in September
The latest CoreLogic Hedonic Home Value Index reveals further gains across most capital city housing markets last month, taking the current growth phase into its 52nd month.
Selling time of homes has increased while discounting levels are falling
• The typical capital city house is currently selling at 43 days compared to 38 days a year ago while the typical capital city unit takes 40 days to sell compared to 39 days a year ago
• The average level of discount is recorded at 5.6% for houses and 5.3% for units compared to 5.8% for houses and 5.5% for units 12 months ago
• Auction clearance rates have rebounded in 2016 and were above 70% last week, averaging 68.6% so far this year
New listings are higher than they were a year ago while total listings are slightly lower
• Over the past 28 days there were 41,381 new homes listed for sale nationally and 27,073 listed across the capital cities
• New listings are 2.5% higher than they were a year ago nationally and 0.9% higher across the combined capital cities
• There were 241,633 total listings nationally over the past four weeks and 107,199 total capital city listings
• Nationally, total listings are -1.7% lower than a year ago while they are 5.1% higher across the combined capital cities
Australian housing values finished the year 3.0% higher according to data released by @corelogicau today. The growth rate for regional housing values (+6.9%) was more than three times higher than the pace of growth across the capital cities (+2.0%)
• The divergence between dwelling values and income growth occurred against a backdrop of lower mortgage rates, and
• Australian’s generally demonstrate a high elasticity of demand for housing, with lower mortgage rates driving high levels of demand contributing to higher housing values.
CoreLogic head of research Tim Lawless said, “Although housing values were generally slightly positive over the month, the trend has clearly weakened since mid-to-late March, when social distancing policies were implemented and consumer sentiment started to plummet.”
The capital city markets generally showed a weaker performance relative to the regional markets, with the combined capital cities index up 0.2% in April compared with a 0.5% rise across the combined regional markets.

CoreLogic December 2016 Hedonic Home Value Index
Released: Tuesday 3 January, 2017
Capital gains accelerated over the past year, taking the calendar year growth rate to the fastest pace since 2009, according to the December CoreLogic Home Value Index.
• December 2016 saw capital city dwelling values rise by 1.4%, taking the annual capital gain for 2016 to 10.9%
• Capital city house values rose by 11.6% over the past 12 months
Capital city unit values increased by 5.9% over the past 12 months
Apartment approvals plunged by nearly 40% in January (the weakest monthly result in 5 years) comes to the news that first home buyers are making a comeback
The strongest capital city sub-regions were confined to Hobart,
Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide where housing prices are generally
more affordable relative to household incomes (although housing
affordability has rapidly deteriorated across Hobart). Outside of Hobart,
where dwelling values were 8.7% higher over the year, even the best
performing regions returned a relatively mild annual growth rate. Seven
of the top ten sub-regions returned an annual gain of less than 3%. Mr
Lawless said, “Such a soft result amongst the best performing areas
highlights that housing market weakness is broad-based and not just
confined to Sydney and Melbourne.”
North Lakes appeared as one of the most searched suburbs by overseas home buyers of QLD properties such as coming from New Zealand, US, & the UK, according to realestate.com.au report.
Twelve-month data from July 2017 reveal that overseas property searches in Queensland have New Zealand as the top property hunters. Brisbane City emerged as the most searched suburb with 13,951 searches followed by Broadbeach with 9,898.
REA Group said that overseas home buyers would often check Brisbane properties first then widen their search to nearby suburbs. Such is the case of one overseas buyer who found their dream home in Aspley which he said is a place with great weather and affordable properties.
The top ten most searched suburbs are Brisbane City, Surfers Paradise, Noosa Heads, Broadbeach, Mooloolaba, Burleigh Heads, Southport, North Lakes, Caloundra, and Hope Island. Whilst UK and USA follow New Zealand, where most overseas property searchers originate. The REA Group said that European, American, and Canadian buyers are mostly drawn to Queensland’s beach and lifestyle destinations. Brisbane properties are what they would often check first, primarily because they are seeing better value for their money in Brisbane.
Rounding up the ten countries accounting for the most number of searches of the Queensland properties are Hong Kong, Philippines, Canada, Singapore, China, Japan, and South Africa.
According to the Australian Property Market Report for October from realestate.com.au, Brisbane continues to hold up well, despite tough financial conditions. Buyer demand, and rental demand and pricing are all in the green. Offshore buyer demand has seen a big increase which they attribute to the education sector and relative housing affordability.
The report says that Brisbane is gaining the confidence of the market with its better economic outlook and because of that, premium suburbs are benefiting with the subsequent rise in demand. Inner-north’s Grange and the outer south-east suburb of Chandler appeared as the top two in demand suburbs, according to the report.
Among Brisbane metro regions, East enjoys the most increase in demand year-on-year with 9.1%, followed by Brisbane Inner-city (8.2%) and North (5.0%). South and West saw declines in demand, however, year-on-year with -6.1% and -1.6% respectively.
The price growth is seen to continue over the next 12 months as Queensland economic growth will continue to propel the market.
Via Corelogic RPData
2022 was a tumultuous year for Australia’s housing market.
Following outstanding capital growth over 2021 and into early 2022, successive interest rate rises, surging inflation, low consumer sentiment and deteriorating affordability drove a shift in the performance of residential real estate.
Today, we released our annual Best of the Best report; a seminal publication which sums up the country’s annual property performance and provides an outlook for the year ahead.

Australia's home prices likely rose at a slightly faster pace in August (+1%) compared with July (+0.8%), based on CoreLogic's daily 5 capital city index. Brisbane (inc Gold Coast) prices are up 1.4% with Sydney and Adelaide prices both 1.1% higher.
Adelaide and Perth are the only capital cities at new highs, Brisbane is still below it's high in March 2022 based on this data (which includes the Gold Coast), though on the ground in Brisbane we are seeing data points of new all time highs in our target areas.
CoreLogic Research Director, Tim Lawless, noted the most
substantial reduction in growth has occurred in Sydney.
“After leading the upswing, the monthly pace of growth in Sydney
housing values has halved from a recent high of 1.8% in May to 0.9%
in July. Sydney has also seen a significant rise in the number of
fresh listings added to the market, 9.9% higher than the same time
last year and 18.0% above the previous five-year average. An
increased flow of new listings provides more choice and may be
working to reduce some of the urgency felt among prospective
buyers,” he said.
Brisbane and Adelaide saw the monthly pace of growth
accelerate in July, leading the pace of gains across the capitals
with housing values up 1.4% across both cities. Although the trend
in new listings has risen in these cities, Mr Lawless said the number
remains well below levels from a year ago and the previous five
year average.
Canberra was the only capital city to record a decline in values in
July, down -0.1%, while Hobart values were unchanged.
The slowdown in value growth has mostly been driven by an
easing in gains across the upper quartile of the market.
Brisbane (1.4%)
CoreLogic’s national Home Value Index (HVI) has recorded a third consecutive monthly rise, with the pace of growth accelerating sharply to 1.2% in May.
After finding a floor in February, home values increased 0.6% and 0.5% through March and April respectively.
Sydney continues to lead the recovery trend, posting a 1.8% lift in values over the month, recording the city’s highest monthly gain since September 2021. Since moving through a trough in January, home values have risen by 4.8%, or the equivalent of a $48,390 lift in the median dwelling value.
Brisbane (1.4%) and Perth (1.3%) are the only other capitals to record a monthly gain of more than 1.0%, however, the rise in values was broad-based with the rate of growth accelerating across every capital city last month.
CoreLogic’s Research Director, Tim Lawless, noted the positive trend is a symptom of persistently low levels of available housing supply running up against rising housing demand.
“Advertised listings trended lower through May with roughly 1,800 fewer capital city homes advertised for sale relative to the end of April. Inventory levels are -15.3% lower than they were at the same time last year and -24.4% below the previous five-year average for this time of year,” he said.
“With such a short supply of available housing stock, buyers are becoming more competitive and there’s an element of FOMO creeping into the market. Amid increased competition, auction clearance rates have trended higher, holding at 70% or above over the past three weeks. For private treaty sales, homes are selling faster and with less vendor discounting.”
The trend in regional housing values has also picked up, with the combined regionals index rising half a percent in April, following a 0.2% and 0.1% rise in March and April.
“Although regional home values are trending higher, the rate of gain hasn’t kept pace with the capitals. Over the past three months, growth in the combined capitals index was more than triple the pace of growth seen across the combined regionals at 2.8% and 0.8% respectively,” Mr Lawless said.
“Although advertised housing supply remains tight across regional Australia, demand from net overseas migration is less substantial. ABS data points to around 15% of Australia’s net overseas migration being centered in the regions each year. Additionally, a slowdown in internal migration rates across the regions has helped to ease the demand side pressures on housing.”
Premium housing markets in Sydney continue to lead the recovery trend. After recording a larger drop in values, Sydney’s upper quartile (the most expensive quarter) stands out with the highest rate of growth, gaining 5.6% over the past three months compared with a 2.6% rise in more affordable lower quartile values.
“Buyers targeting the premium sector of the market are still buying at well below peak prices,” Mr Lawless said.
“Although values across more expensive homes are rising more rapidly, ......
January marked a new record for how much and how fast dwelling
values have fallen in Australia. Based on the monthly index, the
national HVI is down -8.9% since peaking in April last year, making this
the largest and fastest decline in values since at least 1980 when
CoreLogic’s records began.
So far, Brisbane (-10.8%*
) and Hobart (-10.8%) have registered the
largest declines on record for those cities. Sydney home values are down
-13.8% and not far from surpassing the 2017-19 drop of -14.9% to set a
new decline record.

The national monthly increase of 1.3% is the slowest rate of growth since January 2021 when values rose 0.9%. The annual increase of 22.2% has added approximately $126,700 to the median value of an Australian home in the last 12 months.
Beyond the headline figure, capital city and regional home values are diversifying as stock levels rise and affordability decreases. Houses continue to outperform units, regional markets and rental growth remain strong and a rise in listings is contributing to a subtle softening in vendor metrics such as days on market and auction clearance rates.
Will it be a hot, warm or cool summer for the market?
Foreign nationals bought up more than $55.8 billion worth of Australian property during the last financial year, down 33% as the pandemic shut the country’s borders.
The Foreign Investment Board’s annual report shows property approvals were down again, having almost halved in the space of just four years.
The report shows Chinese investment was up 16% over the same period, while Queensland is quickly becoming a “top destination” for foreign investment.
According to a variety of reported opinions, it’s Brisbane’s time to shine. The city has seen a stop- start-stagnate property market for close to a decade, with myriad factors (floods, unit oversupply, high unemployment, global pandemic) keeping our values
Our Sunshine State capital is looking even brighter as at the time of writing. While we’ve had our challenges during COVID-19 (particularly in recent weeks when a few dubious border crossings have left our population holding its collective breath……………
“The blowout in rental vacancy rates for the major CBDs suggests a mass exodus of tenants occurred over the course of March and April. This might be attributed to the significant loss in employment in our CBDs plus the drop off in international students,” he said.
Brisbane and Adelaide both saw their CBD vacancy rate double as well, albeit from smaller bases, jumping to 11.3% and 6.6% apiece.
Looking at the capital city markets as a whole, Darwin proved the only exception to rising rates across the board.

Overwhelmingly, (72 percent) of respondents, felt that NSW would be the hardest hit.
Short Term residential rental properties, like AIRBNB and holiday homes, are in the firing line, whilst high cashflow and diversified rooming houses on fixed-term leases are highlighted as the most resilient.
Respondents said the peak COVID-19 impact would be felt between the 3 to 12-month mark from mid-March 2020

Dwelling values rose by 1.1% over the month of December and by 4.0% over the quarter to finish out 2019 on a positive note according to the CoreLogic national home value index. This result represents the fastest rate of national dwelling value growth over any three month period since November 2009. Darwin was the only region amongst the capital cities and ‘rest-of-state’ areas to record a fall in values over the month, with a -0.5% decline
The CoreLogic Home Value Index results for October out today confirm a 1.2% rise in national dwelling values over the month, delivering the fourth straight month of rising values.
The October result was the largest month-on-month gain in the national index since May 2015. The recent gains come after a broad-based decline in housing values, with the national index declining 8.4% between October 2017 and June 2019. The positive October result takes national dwelling values 2.9% off their June 2019 floor, however values remain 5.7% below their peak, highlighting that despite the recent gains, home values are at a similar level to where they were three years ago.
According to CoreLogic research director Tim Lawless, the stronger rebound in Melbourne and Sydney can be attributed to a blend of factors; tighter labour market conditions and stronger population growth relative to the other capitals, coupled with the stimulatory effect of the lowest mortgage rates since the 1950’s, and improved access to credit.

It’s our largest asset class.
Australia’s housing
market is worth an
estimated $6.5 trillion.
That’s almost three times the value of Australia’s
combined superannuation funds, just over four times
the overall market capitalisation of stocks traded on
the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and roughly
four times greater than the nation’s economic
output over the past year. With real estate such a
valuable and popular asset class, it’s no wonder that
conversation often turns to the residential property
market and its performance.
Since capital city housing markets commenced their
growth cycle back in June 2012, the value of a typical
dwelling has increased by a total of 32 per cent.
The annual pace of growth peaked in July 2015 at
11.1 per cent and has since moderated back to 7.6
per cent as at the end of February 2016 as housing
market conditions taper back to more sustainable
levels of growth.
There is a great deal of diversity across Australia’s
housing markets, from regional markets where
mining and resources are a key driver of market
conditions, to rural markets reliant on agriculture,
coastal markets that are dependent on lifestyle
and tourism factors and of course the capital
cities and major regional cities that act as primary
employment hubs and service centres. The rate of
capital gain, market activity and rental returns vary
substantially from region to region.

Capital city home
values have increased
by 7.6% over the past
twelve months.
Focusing on the capital city markets, the diversity of
performance can be seen in the below graph which
tracks the change in dwelling values over the twelve
months ending February 2016. Over the twelve
month period, capital gains have been strongest in
Australia’s second largest capital city, Melbourne,
where the typical home is now worth 11.1 per cent
more than what it was a year ago. Sydney’s housing
market was previously the strongest for capital
gains, but the annual growth trend has reduced from
a recent peak of 18.4 per cent in July last year to the
current annual growth rate of 9.5 per cent.
At the other end of the spectrum are the cities
where values have softened over the past year. In
stark contrast to Melbourne and Sydney’s housing
markets, dwelling values are down by 2.9 per cent
in Darwin 3.1 per cent in Perth over the past twelve
months.
In regional markets we have seen a slowdown in
those areas closely associated with the mining
sector. Mining towns have provided some spectacular
capital gains for home owners over the past decade,
however these areas are now showing their inherent
volatility with a downturn in both dwelling values and
rents as the resources related infrastructure boom
winds down and commodity prices soften.
In contrast to the resources sector, lifestyle markets
around the country appear to be moving out of
a long correction phase. The lower Australian
dollar is enticing overseas and domestic tourists
back which in turn should support jobs growth
in hospitality, retail and support roles in markets
associated with holiday makers. Housing demand
for lifestyle properties and holiday homes is also
on the rise which is likely to fuel a further recovery
across Australia’s lifestyle housing markets. These
markets have seen very little growth in values since
the financial crisis with the weak world economic
conditions and high Australian dollar stifling demand
in many of these regions.

5. Autumn 2016 Buyer’s Guide 3
There were 476,630 house and unit sales nationally, over the
twelve months to February 2016. That’s slightly lower (-4.0%)
than the same period last year.
The slip in transaction numbers over the year can
be attributed to slower transaction numbers across
both the unit and house market. It’s important to
note that the transaction numbers outlined below
may see some revision higher as off the plan sales
settle down the track.
The largest falls in market activity are centered
in the Northern Territory and Western Australia
where migration rates have slowed substantially
and housing markets have softened. Transaction
numbers are showing a milder slowdown in New
South Wales and Victoria as housing market
conditions move through the peak of their growth
cycles.
The markets where transaction numbers have
accelerated over the year have generally
underperformed over the cycle to date and are now
showing signs of improving housing market demand.
While transaction numbers are slightly lower than a
year ago on a national basis, listing numbers have
started to move higher. CoreLogic RP Data estimates
the total number of homes advertised for sale is
currently 2.7 per cent higher than a year ago across
the capital cities but 1.7 per cent lower nationally.
The cities where market conditions have softened
(Perth and Darwin) are showing a rising trend in
advertised stock levels while listing numbers in
Sydney and Adelaide are also starting to rise.
We’re seeing lower
turnover in NSW,
and less demand

With the number of homes available for sale starting to rise from their low base, buyers now have more choice
and vendors are finding their homes are taking longer sell and in turn are also becoming more flexible in their
price expectations.
The moderation in housing market conditions has also been reflected in lower clearance rates, however the
average clearance rate bounced from the high 50 per cent range in December 2016 to be higher than 70 per
cent in February 2016.

Questions
and Answers
? What’s a median value?
CoreLogic RP Data estimates the value of virtually every residential property each week (and each day
for our daily index!). The median value is simply the median, or middle estimated value of houses or units
within the specified region. Before calculating the median value we filter out value estimates that we aren’t
confident about and haven’t reported a median statistic where there were fewer than fifty valid valuation
estimates within the suburb and ten sales over the year. A median value measure tends to provide a much
more reliable and stable reading about the typical value of a house or unit within a region compared with
a median sale price which is based on only those homes that have sold within the specified region over a
given period.
? What is the vendor discount?
Monitoring property advertisements is a core part of CoreLogic RP Data’s business. We gather listings data
from online and print media, match the listings against our property ownership database, de-duplicate the
listings and count them for our stock on market measurements. Apart from tracking the advertising history
of any home that has been listed for sale, a useful bi-product of this data is to work out what the difference
is between the original asking price on a property compared with the ultimate selling price (ie the contract
price). The vendor discount is simply this difference expressed as a percentage. For example, if a house was
originally advertised for sale at $500,000 and eventually it sold for $480,000, the vendor discount would be
4 per cent. Note that we don’t calculate a vendor discount figure if there is fewer than ten observations of a
listing and sale pair over the period and auction sales are excluded from the calculation.
? What about time on market?
Our time on market statistics are calculated in a similar way to the vendor discount. Time on market, or the
median selling time of a house or unit, provides an indication about how long a property takes to sell within
the specified region. A faster selling time implies a fairly hot market while a longer days on market figure
would normally indicate sedate market conditions. Note that we don’t calculate a time on market figure if
there is fewer than ten observations of a listing and sale pair over the period and auction sales are excluded
from the calculation.

? What is the median asking rent?
This figure provides an indication about the typical weekly rents being offered within the region. Asking rents
are derived from rental listings. Where there are fewer than ten observed rental advertisements over the
period, a rental statistic has not been calculated.
? What’s the gross rental yield?
The gross rental yield is calculated by dividing the annualised advertised rental price of a property by its
estimated value. The yield is ‘gross’ as it does not take into account any expenses associated with the rental
income such as the commission to the property manager, interest costs on the mortgage or maintenance
on the property. A net yield can be calculated on individual properties by subtracting any costs from the
annualised rental estimate on the property then dividing the net rent by the total purchase price.
