Many of Australia\u2019s regional cities have supply-demand ratios which are currently more favourable for property investors than the big profile capital cities.
\nA couple of years ago, from ongoing analysis of the construction industry\u2019s intentions, Propertyology<\/a> formed the view that there was a period of suppressed price growth ahead for most major cities. Consequently, we turned our focus to a few lesser known locations with better potential for investors.
\nA more controlled housing supply pipeline and very affordable property are partly why our buyer\u2019s agents have been actively investing in several regional cities<\/a> for a while now.
\nOne of the biggest misconceptions about the recent property boom is that there\u2019s a severe housing shortage. The evidence says that population growth over the last few years is consistent with historical trends while residential construction has been at record levels.
\nPropertyology\u2019s analysis of official residential dwelling construction and population data over two separate three-year periods suggests that Australia\u2019s biggest cities are approaching a tipping point.
\nOver the past three calendar years, 676,067 new residential dwellings were approved compared to 461,383 for the three years ending 2008. Australia\u2019s population growth over each of those three-year blocks was 1.063 million and 1.164 million, respectively.
\nIn other words, Australia\u2019s population growth was about 100,000 less however, we approved 200,000 more dwellings.<\/p>\n

\"supply<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Strong house price growth in Sydney and Melbourne over the last four years was due to a number of factors, but a lack of supply was not one of them. While vested interest groups and some segments of the community will be quick to disagree with me, the evidence does not support their statements.
\nFor instance, comparing new supply and population growth of 2016 to 2008 when Sydney\u2019s median house price only increased by 0.6 per cent, population growth was the same but more than twice as many new dwellings were supplied in 2016.<\/p>\n

\"supply<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Sydney and Melbourne\u2019s stronger economy – and consumer sentiment which comes with it \u2013 at a time of record low interest rates \u2013 has created increased buyer activity to levels over and above the underlying demand of population growth. The record high volumes of housing supply will flow through to much lower rates of price growth as confidence wanes from housing affordability concerns and tighter credit policy.
\nWe only need to look at cities like Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth to see what can happen when consumer sentiment isn\u2019t as strong while supply levels are high.
\nIf there was a such a dire shortage of housing, rents would be increasing significantly every time a lease expired however, the evidence suggests nominal movement in rents for five years.<\/p>\n

\"growth<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Since 2013, there has been a distinct trend in Australia’s bigger cities for apartment construction. Ten years ago, 3 out of 10 properties approved in Australia were apartments, whereas today it is 1 out of 2.
\nDuring the 2016 calendar year, 80 per cent of new dwellings approved in Canberra were apartments \u2013 it was 70 per cent in Sydney, 58 per cent in Brisbane, and 54 per cent in Melbourne.
\nIt was only 13 per cent in Hobart where housing supply volumes maintained its status quo over the past few years while factors on the demand side of the equation have improved.
\nOut of all of the capital cities, the official data suggests that Hobart will have the tightest level of supply over the next few years. For capital growth and rental yield, Hobart was Australia\u2019s best performed capital city for the year ending June 2017 and Propertyology\u2019s research suggests it\u2019s likely to hold this mantle for a while yet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Supply<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

There are several regional cities across the country where the housing supply pipeline is significantly tighter than most capital cities. With very affordable entry prices and strong yields, the annual holding costs are negligible. Taking advantage of such opportunities<\/a> has meant that some of our investors have been able to comfortably afford to buy 2, 3 or even 4 investment properties.
\n\u2018Big city\u2019 is far from a magic formula for \u2018best investment\u2019. To the contrary, 78 per cent of Australia\u2019s record building approval volumes in the last three years were concentrated in our capital cities \u2013 home to 65 per cent of our population.
