QMM STATE-WIDE COMMENTARY

SEQ HOUSE MARKET TAKES THE LEAD Sales activity across Queensland over the June quarter was up across all property types with increases in preliminary sales for house, units and townhouses; and an impressive 37 per cent in vacant land sales.

Proudly supported by

This increase in sales activity was predominantly recorded in the southeastern corner of the state. The Brisbane Local Government Area led the charge with an increase of 19 per cent, closely followed by Logan, which was up 18 per cent. Key sales market indicators also point to Brisbane’s unusually robust winter sales being replicated in a number of real estate markets throughout the State amid increasing demand, sales volumes and prices.

The strongest performing sectors of the Brisbane house market were at opposite ends of the spectrum, with increases in the sub-$350,000 and $1 million price brackets helping the city to its fifth consecutive quarter of growth.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Queensland market update 1

... we are beginning to see markets stabilising in Rockhampton, Gladstone and Mackay.

Million dollar sales in the unit market also strengthened, with preliminary sales numbers across Queensland up around 10 per cent. Some of the best news to emerge is that we are beginning to see markets stabilising in Rockhampton, Gladstone and Mackay. These three regional centres saw their house markets peak between late 2011 and early 2012. However, sales activity has been slowly decreasing ever since - except for a brief spike in sales when the stamp duty exemption for principal places of residence was reinstated in July 2012. Rockhampton is faring best of these three regional centres, with some particularly encouraging signs beginning to emerge at the lower end of its house market. Sales volumes in Gladstone recovered in the June quarter, posting a seven per cent increase. Mackay’s house market recorded the largest decline in sales activity, down 24 per cent compared to the March quarter, while the median house price eased just 2.5 per cent.

UNIT MARKET

Brisbane unit and townhouse sales are rising strongly, with a steady pipeline of townhouse developments contributing to a 20 per cent rise in sales in the June quarter. The Gold Coast saw a strong increase in sales, which rose 10 per cent in the June quarter. The Sunshine Coast market is also on an upward spiral, with sales up 39 per cent in the last 12 months. Noosa posted strong growth, with unit and townhouse sales up 31 per cent. The two standout regions for unit and townhouse sales were Ipswich and Townsville, with sales up 40 per cent and 37 per cent respectively. Unit and townhouse sales rose on the Fraser Coast, with most activity occurring in the $250,000 to $350,000 price bracket, fuelled by strong demand for waterfront properties.

Bundaberg’s unit and townhouse market eased in the June quarter, with conditions also subdued in Gladstone and Mackay. However, sales in Rockhampton rose two per cent, spurred by sales in the $250,000 to $350,000 price bracket. Toowoomba unit sales rose three per cent in the June quarter, with Cairns recording healthy sales growth of 17 per cent. RENTAL MARKET

While SEQ and the tourism centres continue to exhibit tight rental conditions with vacancy rates remaining below the healthy market level of 3.5 per cent, these markets are beginning to show increasing vacancies. Our regional centres continue to struggle, particularly those in the mining areas where FIFO employees have become an increasing trend, meaning significantly reduced demand for local rental properties. Median rents from the RTA continue to soften in the likes of Gladstone, Rockhampton and Mackay. Toowoomba however continues record strong property market conditions both in sales and rentals, with increased investor activity reported. Our tourism centres continue to go from strength to strength and despite increasing activity in their sales markets, their rental markets still remain some of the tightest across the state Gross yields for a number of regions were down in the June quarter on the back of easing median rents. In Brisbane, strong median house price growth relative to stable median rents, saw the overall gross yield fall to 3.7 per cent.

REIQ RESEARCH EXPLANATORY NOTES SALES DATA

PRICE POINT GRAPHS

All figures for the most recent quarterly and yearly periods are preliminary only and subject to further revision as additional sales records become available (see Research Methodology online at reiq.com).

All data contained within these graphs represent preliminary sales numbers and are subject to revision as additional sales records become available.

As of the June quarter 2013, all sales data includes "Recent Sales" as advised by real estate agents as well as official records as advised by DNRM. As such comparisons with figures published prior to the June quarter 2013 should be done with caution. A median sale price is derived by arranging a set of sale prices from lowest to highest and then selecting the middle value within this set (ie the 50th percentile, where half of recorded sales were less and half were higher than the median). Only suburbs and regions to record sufficient sales numbers are published. N/A (LGA) Brisbane (SD)

Due to insufficient sales numbers (as at the time of data extraction) no median sale price has been calculated Local Government Area Brisbane Statistical Division which comprises the LGA’s of Brisbane City, Ipswich City, Logan City, Moreton Bay Regional and Redland City

At the time of publication, latest information available was for the 12 months ending the month prior to the current period. "Days on Market" is calculated as the average number of days it has taken to sell those properties sold by private treaty sale during the 12 month period. The calculation excludes auction listings and listings where an asking price is not advertised. The days on market calculation uses the contract date on the property compared with the first advertised date. "Vendor Discount" is the average difference between the contract price on a property and the first advertised price. The figure is expressed as a percentage and is an average of all private treaty sales which sold for less than their initial asking price during the last 12 months. Auction listings and listings without an advertised asking price are excluded from the calculation. "Total Listings" is the total unique number of properties that have been advertised for sale and captured by RP Data over the 12 month period. To be included in the count, the listings have to be matched to an actual address. "% Stock on Market" is the percentage of dwellings within the suburb or local government area that have been listed for sale over the past year. Source: RP Data (www.rpdata.com.au)

JUNE QUARTER 2014

BRISBANE MARKET UPDATES

BRISBANE CITY Over the June quarter 2014, the Brisbane residential property market recorded a strong increase in sales activity for a second year running. With June quarter sales numbers typically declining and buyer and vendor activity at its lowest during the cooler months of the year, these results are strong indicators of continued growth in Brisbane’s housing market.

BRISBANE CITY HOUSE SALES (p) MAR 14

1401

In Brisbane’s house market, it was the sub-$350,000 price bracket that was the star performer, up 48 per cent, with the million-dollar-plus price bracket coming second, up 43 per cent. In sales volumes terms however, the $500,000plus bracket continues to account for the majority of sales (about 60 per cent) and was up 30 per cent compared to the March quarter. Brisbane’s overall median house sale price was up 2.7 per cent to $575,000. Since holding steady over the previous few years, Brisbane’s median house price has been trending upwards for five consecutive quarters now, with this June quarter being the second strongest increase to date. Days on market for houses are down from an average 90 twelve months ago to 59 for the year ending May, making the Brisbane house market the fastest selling of all major regions. Top performing suburbs were mixed with the likes of Camp Hill, Paddington and Inala topping the list with over 20 extra house sales compared to the March quarter. Demand for prestige property isn’t limited to the riverside suburbs, with acreage sales seeing the suburbs of Burbank and Chandler break the million dollar mark. Only five suburbs in Brisbane recorded a median over $1 million for the year ending June. UNIT MARKET

Brisbane’s unit and townhouse market, which typically lags the house market by around six months, has now joined the rising market with preliminary sales numbers up 20 per cent over the June quarter. Strong sales activity was recorded in the $350,000-plus and sub-$250,000 price points, which were both up around 30 per cent, while the million-dollar-plus market saw 45 preliminary sales recorded, up from 30 during the March quarter. While the inner city apartment market has attracted a lot of attention, top sales activity over the year to June was largely found outside of inner Brisbane with eight out of the ten top performing suburbs located in the middle to outer ring suburbs.

BRISBANE MARKET UPDATES

GREATER BRISBANE

Heading into Spring, the greater Brisbane area looks set to build on the strong sales momentum of the June quarter. There were increases in both house and unit sales volumes in greater Brisbane, with shorter days on market compared to a year ago. Median sales price growth varied across the region, with some sectors of the market recording growth. Others recorded easing median sale prices on the back of increased activity at the affordable end of the market. HOUSE MARKET

Over the June quarter 2014 the Brisbane statistical division recorded 2.2 per cent growth in its median house price to $470,000, driven by strong sales on the city’s outskirts. Ipswich, Logan and Moreton Bay all recorded increased sales activity, with Redland also posting healthy sales activity. Redland recorded a solid increase in the median house price, with median sale price growth in the remaining areas of greater Brisbane subdued. However, increased buyer confidence is resulting in stock that had been sitting on the market for some time starting to be taken up. First home buyer and investor activity has reportedly been improving in Moreton Bay as progress continues on the new Rail Line, amid ongoing development of the North Lakes residential and commercial precincts. Five of the top ten increases in preliminary sales for the June quarter were posted in Moreton Bay: in North Lakes, Kallangur, Deception Bay, Morayfield and Redland Bay. In Ipswich many agents are experiencing large sale volumes, creating a shortage of stock. However local agents expect sales to increase heading towards 2015, buoyed by demand from interstate investors in search of higher rental yields. Eagleby in Logan recorded a strong rise in sales and solid price growth in the June Quarter.

UNIT MARKET

Unit and townhouse sales in Greater Brisbane picked up from where they left off in the March Quarter, rising 18 per cent to the end of the June quarter. Ipswich and Redland recorded the strongest increases in unit and townhouse sales in the quarter, up 40 per cent and 19 per cent respectively. Over the quarter, Brendale and Beenleigh recorded double digit sales growth, with Cleveland, Birkdale and Ormiston in Redlands also recording healthy increases. Bundamba in Ipswich also recorded solid sales volumes. New townhouse complexes at Goodna have contributed to the overall median sale price for the Ipswich council area, which was up 26 per cent over the quarter. The greatest volume of sales activity occurred in the $250,000 to $350,000 price bracket during the June quarter, with more buyers also entering the market at the sub-$250,000 mark. RENTAL MARKET

The vacancy rate for the Brisbane Statistical Division eased to 2.3 per cent at the end of June, compared to 1.9 per cent at the end of March. In the outer-lying suburbs of Greater Brisbane, vacancy rates have also softened in Ipswich and Logan, to more healthy market conditions. Moreton Bay and Redland City, however, continue to record tight vacancy levels, with agents in these areas reporting more demand than supply. Agents in the Moreton Bay area are seeing increased investor activity, with some NRAS developments being in strong demand. The latest figures from the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) also show a decline in the total number of bonds lodged during the June quarter across three bedroom houses, two bedroom units and three bedroom townhouses compared to the previous quarter. Steady pipelines of new developments, which are said to be attracting renewed interest from interstate investors, are expected to increase the supply of rental stock over the coming months.

Local agents report the 2018 Commonwealth Games is driving renewed interest in the market from local, interstate and overseas investors, with a number of Asian airlines also increasing the number of direct flights to the Gold Coast. HOUSE MARKET

The housing market in all price brackets is performing well, with stock remaining tight and demand solid. Sale volumes have increased across most areas of the market with the medium price of houses increasing by 7.5 per cent in the year to June 2014. Gold Coast housing picked up where it left off in the March quarter, recording consistent sales activity and solid price growth. Preliminary sales activity in Surfers Paradise were up nine per cent over the June quarter. Hinterland suburbs Nerang and Mudgeeraba were among the other star performers to post healthy sales increases, along with Molendinar and Robina. Jacob’s Well, Yatala and Upper Coomera on the northern tip of the Gold Coast also recorded steady sales increases in the June quarter. The strongest sales activity occurred in the $500,000-plus price bracket, with the prestige end of the market priced upwards of $1 million also performing strongly. Auctions are also said to be getting more competitive, with many properties selling above their reserve price in another sign that confidence is returning to the marketplace. The acreage sector is also on the rise, with preliminary sales for the June quarter up seven per cent on the back of strong prestige sales. Agents report that buyers in all sectors remain price sensitive but they remain confident of steady price growth going forward, without any large upward spikes.

Gold Coast real estate continues to gain momentum with investors returning to the market as a result of low interest rates, low vacancy rates and improvements in the local economy. Local agents report that investors see the Gold Coast as a good value alternative to interstate markets, which have been recording double digit price growth. Demand continues to be strong for properties in suburbs surrounding the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct. The new Gold Coast light rail system is also delivering an important economic boost, as investors grow more confident about the city’s long term prospects.

The Gold Coast recorded a drop in its vacancy rate in the June quarter, down 0.5 percentage points to 1.7 per cent – a result not seen since December 2012. Local agents report the tight vacancy rate is driven by strong economic development which is increasing competition for rental properties. They report that vacancies are being snapped up quickly by tenants, which is making rental properties more attractive to investors.

Over the June quarter, sales activity was also up in the unit and townhouse market, most notably in the $250,000 to $350,000 price bracket.

Unit sales were dominated by resales in a unit complex on the Esplanade, with a top sale of $600,000 - the highest sale for the suburb over the year along with another unit sold on Torquay Rd.

BUNDABERG The Bundaberg real estate market is recording solid activity in its housing sector, while there has been an easing in unit and townhouse sales. This is producing something of a two-tier effect, with local agents saying interstate investors are becoming increasingly active in the unit and townhouse category. Confidence is returning to the market, as evidenced by lower average days on market and relatively steady vendor discounting. Buyer competition is said to be increasing and there’s a growing sense of optimism that the market is on the verge of an upswing heading into the spring selling season. The local economy is also set to benefit from important new infrastructure including a new natural gas pipeline expected to create around 100 new full-time jobs, a boost in tourism for Lady Musgrave Island with a new plan allowing for extra tour operators and an upgrade to tourist facilities at Mon Repos Turtle Centre.

Average vendor discounting over the year in Bundaberg was down to seven per cent, compared to 9.7 per cent a year ago. Over the same period, average days on market in Bundaberg fell from 96 to 83. UNIT MARKET

Bundaberg’s unit and townhouse market saw a drop in sales activity in the June quarter, however the median sale price for units saw a strong increase of 14.1 per cent to $267,000, driven by some upper end sales. Sales volumes in the $250,000 to $350,000 sector were relatively steady, with local agents reporting increasing interest from interstate investors seeking higher yields. Meanwhile sales volumes in the sub-$250,000 segment of the market were down significantly, contributing to the overall increase in the region’s median sale price. While average vendor discounting has improved over the year, average days on market have increased to 125 days over the year to May.

HOUSE MARKET

RENTAL MARKET

Bundaberg’s median house price recorded a 5.4 per cent increase in the June quarter to $284,000, despite a small drop in sales activity. There was a strong increase in sales in the $350,000 to $500,000 price bracket, with preliminary sales numbers nearly double that recorded during the March quarter.

In Bundaberg, the three months to June saw vacancy rates improve slightly, although market conditions are still weak. Vacancy levels are at four per cent, local agents reporting faltering tenant demand. According to local agents, investors are still active with the strongest interest reportedly for NRAS properties.

Sales volumes were down around 10 per cent in the sub$350,000 price point, however it still accounted for the majority of house sales for the region.

Median weekly rents from the RTA for three bedroom houses remained unchanged at $285 compared to a year ago, while two bedroom flats were down $5 to $225 per week over the same period.

Top performing suburbs include Norville, Bargara, Millbank and Kalkie, which recorded increases in quarterly sales activity, along with steady results in Bundaberg North, Walkervale and Elliot Heads.

ROCKHAMPTON Like other Queensland resource centres, the Rockhampton property market over the June quarter saw stabilising conditions. The recent announcement of the Adani mine acquisition north of Clermont is bringing much needed confidence to the region, with local agents reporting the Rockhampton property market has finally found its feet. Over the June quarter there was steady sales activity at the lower end of the market and with improving vacancy rates, the outlook going into 2015 is becoming more positive. Average vendor discounting is down and properties are selling quicker, reflected by improving average days on market figures. HOUSE MARKET

House sales in Rockhampton declined over the June quarter, however there are positive signs beginning to emerge at the lower end of the market. There was a solid increase in sales in the sub-$350,000 price bracket, with 153 properties changing TOOWOOMBA HOUSE SALES (p)hands, seeing the overall median sale price remaining MAR 14 JUN 14 relatively steady at $316,500. 294 288

Allenstown and West Rockhampton were the best 184 performers, with both suburbs 163 recording an increase in sales volumes over the June quarter.

Agents are reporting that the softening of prices has made properties more attractive to first home buyers who are very active at the moment. While there is some investment activity, owner occupiers are the main buyers and more upgraders are beginning to enter the market. Average vendor discounting over the year in Rockhampton was down to 7.7 per cent, compared to 9.8 per cent a year ago. Over the same period, average days on market in Rockhampton have fallen from 98 to 91. UNIT MARKET

The Rockhampton unit and townhouse market continues to show signs of recovery, with preliminary sales figures up two per cent at the end of the June quarter. Sales activity was strongest in the $250,000 to $350,000 price bracket, with steady activity in the $350,000-plus price bracket also.

REGIONAL MARKET UPDATES

SALES MARKET - HOUSES

ROCKHAMPTON CONTINUED

SUBURB

Agents report that while there is some investment activity, owner occupiers are the main buyers, with more upgraders also starting to enter the market. Premium sale prices achieved within a number of new unit complexes along the river in the Rockhampton CBD have contributed to the significant increase in the region’s median unit and townhouse sale price, up 45.2 per cent on the March quarter. This change to the unit and townhouse market in Rockhampton has contributed to the strong result over the year to June and compared to five years ago. RENTAL MARKET

Rockhampton’s rental market is facing challenging conditions, with most vacancies on the market for more than four weeks. However, the overall vacancy rate for the new Rockhampton council area has seen an improvement since the end of March, down 0.8 percentage points to 4.8 per cent at the end of June. Local agents expect investment in units and townhouses to increase amid the prospect of tightening vacancy rates. With the high vacancy levels experienced for a year now, median weekly rents have come down significantly with three bedrooms down $50 to $300 per week and two bedroom flats down $30 to $240 per week, compared to the June quarter last year.

RENTAL MARKET

In Mackay similar conditions to Gladstone exist in its rental market, however median rents have only come back around $80 across the three main rental property types. Vacancy rates at the end of June on the other hand have improved, down 0.7 percentage points to 6.8 per cent – however this remains the highest level for all major regional centres. With employment levels down significantly in the Bowen Basin, local agents say the rental market has been impacted. Similar to Gladstone, investor activity has reportedly dropped off. Building approvals are reportedly down, which is said to be good news for the rental market. With limited new stock set to come onto the market, it’s expected the existing supply will be slowly absorbed over time.
