Lower density housing has continued to outpace higher density housing for capital gains. Nationally, house values were 3.0% higher over the month while unit values were up a more modest 1.9%.

• Given that is the case, is there any sign that units are showing sustained growth?
• Is that likely to see an increase in unit stock – particularly new stock – onto the market?
• We have seen stellar auction results in recent weeks – even with increased auction numbers. Is any one sector of the market clearing at a faster rate?
• Are we seeing the same market dynamics play out in the rental markets – the variation between cap cities and regions?
• With the cost of buying increasing are rental returns keeping pace and what is the likely future outlook for renters?
