FROM OUR CEO On behalf of McGrath Projects, please find enclosed our monthly showcase of new and off-the-plan apartments and town homes. Over the past year, whilst living with COVID-19, we have necessarily been asked to give consideration to the way we conduct our daily personal and professional lives. With the new trend of working from home gaining ground to both safeguard our communities when needed, and maintain our work productivity, we are also changing the way we think about our current living space and also what we desire going forward. The ambition for many is to create an environment that can seamlessly accommodate the need for daily family living and an efficient workday environment, that allows the whole household to leverage the many benefits of remote working. This COVID-19 driven change in client preference has caused developers to be proactive, and seek to amend where possible future apartment design to be in many cases larger to accommodate a combined work/living environment and be inclusive of the latest technological/environmental design features. On a somewhat more emotional note, we have also evidenced an increased demand from prospective off the plan buyers for apartments which have been designed to be pet friendly and accommodate a furry friend, as they have proven to be an enrichment to many spending an increased amount of time at home as opposed to an office elsewhere. Whether you are with or without Fido or Felix by your side, please take time to enjoy the monthly report and please stay safe. Sincerely
Eddie Law CEO McGrath Estate Agents

A MILLION DOLLAR MEDIAN HAS CREATED WEALTH FOR MANY HOMEOWNERS
6
INSIGHTS FROM JOHN MCGRATH REGIONAL VICTORIA Regional Victoria now has 11 house markets in the millionaires’ club, with 5 newcomers led by Jan Juc near Geelong with a median house price of $1,321,185 (up 38% from $954,495 in May 2020).
Back in the 1980s when I began my career in property, Australian entrepreneurs of the time aspired to become millionaires. That was what it meant to be successful in those days. As it turns out, you didn’t need to ‘make it big’ in business to achieve this goal. All you needed to do was buy a house!
Making up the rest of the top 5 were the house markets of four other Geelong suburbs - Queenscliff, Torquay, Newtown and Ocean Grove.
Latest figures from CoreLogic show there are now 801 suburbs on the East Coast with median house or apartment values above $1 million. This includes an extraordinary 188 new suburbs that have breached the million mark over the past 12 months (to May 2021).
Connewarre, also in Geelong, is the No 1 million dollar market of regional Victoria with a median house value of $1,671,374. BRISBANE There are now 51 suburbs across Brisbane with a median house value of at least $1 million, with 22 newcomers led by Ashgrove with a median house value of $1,207,524 (up 25% from $969,877 over the year).
A million dollar median means the owners of typical properties in each of these suburbs are either millionaires already (home paid off) or on their way (paying off a home loan). HERE ARE THE MILLION DOLLAR MARKETS OF THE EAST COAST.
The rest of the top 5 were also house markets in the inner city, namely Norman Park, Seven Hills, Toowong and Red Hill.
SYDNEY In Sydney, there are now 419 suburbs with a million dollar house price or apartment price, which is almost half of Sydney’s 900 suburbs. The split is 340 house markets to 79 apartment markets with a million dollar median.
Teneriffe is Brisbane’s inner city is the top million dollar market with a median house value of $2,063,937. REGIONAL QUEENSLAND Queensland is the only state where the combined regional areas have a similar number of million dollar markets to the capital city.
In the year to May 2021, 54 new suburbs breached the $1 million median, led by the house market of North Avoca on the Central Coast with a median value of $1,466,568 (up 48% from $991,507 in May 2020).
There are now 46 suburbs across regional Queensland with a median house or apartment value of at least $1 million, driven largely by the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast areas.
Making up the rest of the top 5 (in order of median price) were the house markets of four other Central Coast suburbs Copacabana, Bensville, Wamberal and St Huberts Island.
There are 25 newcomers, led by Buddina on the Sunshine Coast with a median house value of $1,283,111 (up 31% from $978,041 a year ago).
Bellevue Hill in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs is the top million dollar market with a median house price of $7,616,288.
Making up the rest of the top 5 were the house markets of Palm Beach (Gold Coast), Alexandra Headland (Sunshine Coast), Burleigh Heads (Gold Coast) and Tallebudgera (Gold Coast).
REGIONAL NSW In regional NSW, 55 suburbs (53 house markets and two apartment markets) now have million dollar medians. There are 30 newcomers, led by Lennox Head in the Richmond-Tweed region of the NSW North Coast with a median house value of $1,402,024 (up 42% from $990,798 in May 2020).
The No 1 million dollar market of regional Queensland is Sunshine Beach with a median house value of $1,924,577.
Making up the rest of the top 5 were the house markets of Skennars Head (Richmond-Tweed) and three Illawarra region suburbs - Kiama Heights, Gerringong and Kiama.
AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY There are 27 million dollar suburbs in the ACT, with 17 newcomers led by Hughes in Canberra’s Woden district with a median house price of $1,363,733 (up 41% from $965,290 in May 2020).
Byron Bay, also in the Richmond-Tweed, is the state’s No 1 regional million dollar market with a median house value of $2,343,546.
Making up the rest of the top 5 were the house markets of fellow Woden districts Farrer, Curtin and Isaacs, followed by Weetangera in the Belconnen district.
MELBOURNE In Melbourne, there are now 184 house markets and 8 apartment markets with median prices above $1 million.
Griffith is the ACT’s No 1 million dollar market with a median house price of $2,198,510. **
There are 35 new million dollar suburbs, led by Mount Macedon in the city’s north-west with a median house price of $1,319,881 (up 37% from $961,495 a year ago).
CoreLogic says the proportion of national sales above $1 million hit a record high of 16.6% in the year to March 2021.
Making up the rest of the top 5 were the house markets of four Mornington Peninsula suburbs -’ Blairgowrie, Somers, St Andrews Beach and Balnarring.
While we can’t ignore the affordability issues that this creates for younger generations of buyers, it is worth noting that a growing proportion of home wealth is being passed down not so much via inheritance, as we’re all living longer, but through the bank of mum and dad, where parents use their own home equity to part-fund their child’s first purchase.
Brighton is Melbourne’s No 1 million dollar market with a median house price of $3,316,986. 7
THE MARKET
EXPECTATIONS VERSE REALITY 8
I’ve spent 30 years working in the property industry and I’ve never seen a market quite like this. A year ago - as the world faced a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic and unprecedented global economic uncertainty - no one could have predicted the high demand for Sydney property we’re seeing today.
those targets. Part of the problem is they’re still counting apartments in the mix and that market has seen a dramatic fall in sales and sites starts. Recently, we’ve had another spanner thrown into the works. The powers that be within the State Government have decided there will be no more re-zoning in the North West until the flood issues are addressed. It feels like the Government has deferred decision-making back onto local councils.
Record low interest rates, combined with the Federal Government’s HomeBuilder scheme, meant the desire for vacant land, especially from first home buyers, in and around Sydney hit new highs in 2020. In March, when COVID-19 became a reality for Australians, we saw demand all but dry up. By June, however, the announcement of HomeBuilder saw land sales soar. The promise of $25,000 (then $15,000 from January 1, 2021) to help Australians build their new dream home was just too good to pass up.
THE MARKET
OPINION FROM TROY TURNER - MCGRATH LAND
What we’re left with is the reality that availability of new land in the North West of Sydney (home to the city’s main growth corridor in recent years) has nearly dried up. There are areas like Vineyard and into the Hawkesbury that are available but around Marsden Park North and Schofields West, which were about to be rezoned, have been potentially pushed back for three to five years.
Applications for HomeBuilder may have closed in mid-April 2021, but with dwelling prices rising at their fasted pace in 32 years and a significant undersupply of established stock across Sydney, the option of building a new home remains an attractive choice for house hunters. The fact that so many buyers are ready to open their chequebooks is great news for the building and construction industry (and the economy as a whole) but Sydney is facing a huge property problem - there just isn’t enough rezoned and serviceable land to go around.
With the North West’s land supply severely hampered, and very little to come on in the West, the South West is shaping up to be the main player for available land and it will probably be that way for the next 10 years. Unfortunately that’s not enough to feed the appetite of Sydney buyers, not to mention the huge number of new Australians expected to arrive down under once borders open up. Annually, Australia issues approximately 140,000 permanent visas (and the recipients mainly settle in Sydney and traditionally build new homes) and I believe that number could rise as the Federal Government plays post-pandemic population catch up. Ultimately, it’s time the NSW government gets to work on building more infrastructure (not just for Western Sydney Airport) and rezones more land to get to market as soon as possible.
The recently released State of The Land 2021 report by the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA), showed that Sydney recorded a 52 per cent uptick in lots released to market across 2020. Sydney was also the only city to record substantive growth during the year with a 6 per cent increase to $1285 per square metre - a figure that has continued to rise since the UDIA report was published in March. On the surface those numbers shed a positive light on a sector that could have otherwise slumped during a global health crisis, but when you dig a little deeper the cracks begin to show. When COVID hit last year, the first people many developers put off were those driving development and rezoning applications simply because no one really knew how long the pandemic was going to last, or what the severity would be. Fast-forward to June 2020 when HomeBuilder came in and buyers discovered that all land bought under the scheme had to be registered by December and the race was on. All that did was pull forward sales - that would have occurred naturally over the following 12 to 18 months - into a very short six-month period. As a result, we’ve now got a massive lag between available land that's both serviceable and zoned for building to begin this year and into 2022. According to Planning NSW’s current Sydney Housing Supply Forecast (the State Government’s estimate on where, when and how many new homes are likely to be completed in Sydney over the next five years) 132,800 to 171,200 new dwellings could be built between now and the 2024/25 financial year. I believe they’re just not going to hit

EXHANGE TO SETTLEMENT
HOW HAS COVID CHANGED THE WAY NEW DEVELOPMENTS WILL BE DESIGNED? COVID-19 has changed the way we live, work, shop, socialise and interact with the world around us. But what does all this mean for the future of home design? How might property developers look to modify their floorplans and developments to better suit the changing needs of buyers?
While we don’t expect to see the total square meterage of a property change, we are seeing architects and developers making the space work harder to balance living, working and relaxing. They are incorporating a range of enhancements to create multiple functions and zones from a single floor plan. Some examples of changes to the floor plan we are seeing include:
Here is a look at some of the trends the McGrath Projects team have been working closely on with developers to implement in their floorplans, especially since the onset of COVID-19.
• • • • • •
FLEXIBLE INTERIOR LAYOUT The work from home trend is most likely here to stay. While there is an expectation and a desire to return to the office to connect with our work colleagues, there is also an appreciation for the work life benefits working from home can offer.
•
Sliding doors Moving walls Multipurpose rooms Efficient use of storage space Acoustic separation Fold-out, wall mounted, or retractable ceilingsuspended beds Multifunctional foldable wall-mounted shelf tables
Even smaller one-bedroom apartments are set to be reimagined by minimising any wasted space, in turn maximising liveable versatility, with increased natural light and outdoor space.
As a result, McGrath Projects are seeing an increasing demand for flexible interiors and space-related features. Buyers are increasingly looking for spaces that can change as their needs change. Spaces that give them flexibility to have open plan living, but also the option to close off areas for meetings, work and privacy.

EXCHANGE TO SETTLEMENT
SANITISED TRANSITION ZONES
INCREASING DEMAND FOR PET FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENTS
A popular trend across many parts of the world is to have a transition zone at the entrance of a property, where shoes can be stored, coats hung, hands sanitised, and surfaces can be cleaned easily.
As we all know Aussies love their pets, but according to a new study by Pawshake , over the COVID period, pets have become a source of strength for many of us. In fact, 69% said pets helped them deal with loneliness and 56% said it helped them maintain a healthy routine.
In addition, a desire to reduce contact with surfaces in the public spaces of a building has led to some developers starting to incorporate contactless elevator buttons, door handles and sensor taps or toilet switches in shared bathrooms in large households.
So, what does this mean for new property developments? According to McGrath Projects, we are seeing many wouldbe buyers making a decision on whether to purchase a property off the plan based on whether it will allow pets and if so, are there restrictions around the type of animal and its size?
We may see this trend appear in floor and building plans moving forward. CONTACTLESS AND SECURE DROP OFF
From a developer’s perspective we expect to see more pet friendly properties being marketed with flexibility and consideration given to a range of animal breeds and sizes.
Due to lockdowns and people’s need and desire to stay COVID-Safe, we have seen a phenomenal rise in online shopping and food order deliveries.
A FINAL WORD
According to Australia Post, online purchases grew 57% year on year during COVID, with an additional 1 million households shopping online each month compared to 2019 .
COVID-19 has unequivocally changed the way we want to live. As a result, many architects and developers are modifying home designs, and our broader living environments, to better meet demand and to keep us safe. We expect to see our housing needs evolve and change over the next few years as we redefine how we want to live in a post COVID-19 world.
Similarly, meal delivery services such as Uber Eats and Menulog, supercharged by a nationwide lockdown, experienced rapid growth during 2020 with a 19% increase in orders year on year. What this means is there is growing demand for contactless and purpose-built secure package delivery and storage rooms in apartment buildings. Many existing apartment developments are having to retro fit these options into their buildings which is proving a challenge, but for new developments we expect to see contactless and secure delivery as a standard feature. We also expect to see demand growing for 24-hour concierge services in higher end, premier developments.
