What’s Happened in Autumn?

Geelong’s property market is in the first year of
a three-year boom as new projects and our
attractive lifestyle impact the region’s economy.

Values have grown faster than any
regional area in the nation as new data
shows more evidence that prices are
softening in the big capital cities.

Outside of the capital cities, Geelong tops the list for strongest
property growth over the past 12 months, where dwelling
values are up 10 per cent to $533,555. But why are we seeing
such a substantial growth rate in Geelong you ask?

The scale of migration of Melbourne homebuyers to Geelong
has been revealed as nearly 7000 people moved to Corio Bay
last financial year.

Australian Bureau of Statistics data for internal migration
trends found Geelong was the third-most popular regional
destination for residents escaping their nearest Australian
capital city. “There are multiple reasons why we’re seeing more people move to new
locations, however it’s generally for
more affordable housing or because
they’re looking for a sea
change/tree change.”

The trend is revealed as a new
report from CoreLogic shows
Geelong house prices were
experiencing a faster rate of annual
growth than Melbourne in the first
quarter of 2018.

Median House Prices – City of Greater Geelong

In the Geelong property market, we are seeing a 10% rise per annum on median
household prices.
The median house price in the City of Greater Geelong was $520,000 in the March
2018 quarter, an increase of 3.0% from the previous quarter and an annual increase of
13.0%.

Industry professionals have said and statistics
have shown to expect more of the same rapid
growth in 2019 as market fundamentals remain
stable, like record low interest rates, a short
supply of quality homes and Geelong’s white-
collar revival drawing more professionals to the
city.
