G'day #ArcaniteCommunity! Let’s talk about affordability—yes, it still exists (kind of)! While the housing crisis has made homeownership feel like a pipe dream for many Aussies, there are still suburbs across Australia where everyday buyers can find properties within reach, even on average incomes. A recent analysis highlighted 16 standout suburbs where affordability meets potential. These suburbs aren’t just affordable—they’re poised for growth in 2025, offering a chance to secure value in a challenging market. Sydney In Sydney’s notoriously expensive market, gems like Berkeley Vale, Springwood, and Bangor offer a rare blend of affordability and lifestyle appeal. Bangor’s median price may sit just over $1 million, but there are still two-bedroom townhouses priced below $900,000. Melbourne Known for its recent price corrections, Melbourne has great picks like Viewbank, Montrose, and Tecoma. These leafy suburbs offer detached family homes starting at around $750,000, with some nestled in idyllic locations near the Dandenong Ranges. Brisbane In Brisbane, Ferny Hills, Runcorn, and Bellbowrie stand out for their family-friendly vibes and affordability. Even on the Gold Coast, Pacific Pines continues to offer value, with median house prices still under $950,000. Adelaide Adelaide keeps things competitive with suburbs like Hawthorndene, Gulfview Heights, and Banksia Park, where median prices range from $700,000 to $900,000. These areas combine charm and accessibility, giving buyers great entry points. Perth Despite a property boom, Perth still holds promise in Hamersley, Maida Vale, and Kingsley, where the median house prices hover around the low $800,000s. These suburbs remain top picks for families seeking value and community. Keep your eyes peeled out there mates! #AffordableLiving #HousingCrisisSolutions #RealEstateAustralia #SuburbSpotlight #MarketTrends2025 #PropertyPotential #ArcaniteInsights

Morning #ArcaniteCommunity. Predictions have been turned upside down, and the housing crisis continues to challenge both buyers and sellers alike. Let’s take a closer look at the five big misses that experts had in 2024—and what it all means for the year ahead. 1. Interest Rates Were Supposed to Fall 2024 kicked off with hopes that interest rate cuts were around the corner, but those hopes were dashed as rates held steady. The cash rate stubbornly stayed high, putting pressure on borrowers and sidelining buyers. Many who planned to enter the market or refinance had to rethink their budgets as affordability worsened. 2. Inflation Would Cool Faster Inflation didn’t ease as quickly as expected, with services inflation and rising wages keeping it higher for longer. While relief finally came later in the year with a dip to 2.8%, it wasn’t enough to make housing more affordable in the short term. The prolonged squeeze left buyers juggling their options, with higher borrowing costs cutting into purchasing power. 3. Melbourne’s Market Recovery Faltered While other cities rebounded, Melbourne struggled to gain traction. Median house prices fell by 1.5% last quarter and are now 6.3% below their peak. Add in land tax changes and oversupply in the unit market, and Melbourne buyers found themselves spoiled for choice—at discounted prices. 4. The Mortgage Cliff Was Overhyped The feared "mortgage cliff" turned out to be more of a gradual slope. Fixed-rate borrowers navigated the transition to higher rates better than expected, and distressed sales remained limited. However, many are still adjusting to the reality of significantly higher repayments—a factor keeping market activity cautious. 5. Smaller Capitals Would Lose Steam Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth defied predictions and outperformed, boasting double-digit price growth thanks to affordability, strong local economies, and interstate migration. These markets demonstrated resilience and remain hotspots for savvy developers and investors looking to capitalize on high demand. What are your predictions for 2025?

As Aussies prepare for the festive season, homeowners are bracing for a tough Christmas with no sign of interest rate relief. The RBA has held the cash rate steady at 4.35%, marking another year of rising mortgage repayments and stretched budgets. Since the rate hike cycle began in May 2022, the average variable interest rate for new home loans has skyrocketed from 2.61% to 6.27%. For a $600,000 mortgage, that means an extra $1,297 a month—or a whopping $15,564 a year. A recent survey found that 86% of homeowners rank their mortgage as their most stressful debt, a stark reminder of how unaffordable housing has become. The silver lining? Inflation is back within the RBA’s target range at 2.8%, opening the door for potential rate cuts in 2025. But when that relief might come is still up in the air. It’s clear housing costs will be a major focus in the lead-up to the next federal election. What do you mates think?

Morning #ProjectMarketers. This crazy crisis on housing affordability is not stopping any time soon, and new research is shedding light on just how deeply this issue is affecting everyday Aussies—and the findings are sobering. A recent nationwide study reveals skyrocketing concern over housing affordability and supply. Two-thirds of Australians rank the cost of living as their top issue, with housing now following closely behind, rising from a fringe concern to a central worry for one in four voters. Key Insights on the Crisis: 1. Housing Affordability: A staggering 90% of respondents agree that affordability is a critical challenge. 2. Housing Shortage: 85% believe there simply aren’t enough homes to meet demand. 3. Impact on Quality of Life: 7 in 10 Australians say the housing crisis is directly affecting their community. Over the past year: ✅One-third of Australians have sacrificed essentials like food or medicine to cover housing costs. ✅Nearly 40% have struggled to pay rent or their mortgage. ✅Among renters hoping to buy, 68% believe homeownership is out of reach for at least the next five years. The demand for homes is undeniable, but supply remains the bottleneck. For developers, this signals an urgent need to fast-track projects, particularly affordable housing options. Agents, on the other hand, can seize the opportunity to guide clients through creative housing solutions, such as regional moves or multi-dwelling properties. With 65% of Australians believing the federal government holds the key to addressing this crisis, pressure is mounting for immediate action. Solutions like speeding up approvals, reducing construction costs, and investing in infrastructure are vital to solving this issue. But do you think the current effort we're putting in is enough to have this turned around or is this part of a bigger, underlying crisis?

Evening #RealEstateAustralia. It’s no secret that Australia’s housing crisis has been driving city dwellers to explore opportunities beyond the urban sprawl. Regional Australia is seeing a wave of movement, with the latest data showing migration to the regions is now 80% higher than pre-pandemic levels. The appeal? Affordability, lifestyle upgrades, and promising growth. A fresh report highlights this trend, with regional hotspots like Maitland (NSW), Queenscliffe (VIC), and Wangaratta (VIC) emerging as favourites for city movers. Maitland, in particular, is thriving thanks to its growing infrastructure, industrial developments, and proximity to Newcastle—a city poised for international airport expansion in 2025. Across the east coast, regional New South Wales leads with 36% of net inflows, followed by Victoria (30%) and Queensland (24%). Even smaller communities like Bunbury (WA) and Scenic Rim (QLD) are catching the attention of buyers seeking value and lifestyle benefits. But here’s the kicker: the influx is outpacing regional housing supply, which means these areas need infrastructure, services, and, most importantly, housing. Any insights on how can you position your projects to capture this momentum?

Arvo #ProjectMarketers. Despite a cooling in price growth this year, forecasts suggest a divided year ahead, with prices expected to stabilize in the first half before picking up once interest rates ease. Here's what you need to know: The Price Trajectory National median house prices in capital cities are predicted to rise by 5–7% by the end of 2025, hitting $1.213 million. Perth is projected to lead with an 8–10% surge, nearing the $1M milestone. Meanwhile, Sydney and Melbourne are set to experience modest recovery, but the affordability gap between the two cities will widen to 60%. Affordability Struggles Persist Five capital cities—Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Canberra—are expected to cross the $1M median price mark. For everyday Australians, that figure feels more daunting than ever. And while price growth is anticipated, it won’t be as explosive as the FOMO-fuelled surges of previous years, thanks to persistent affordability issues. Interest Rates: The Waiting Game The Reserve Bank is predicted to begin cutting rates mid-2025, but we’re unlikely to see a dramatic drop. Analysts expect mortgage rates to hover between 5–6.5%, making this next upswing in property prices more restrained. For buyers, this signals a better chance to transact before markets heat up further. What’s Driving Growth? Population growth and tight rental markets have been major drivers, particularly in Perth and Adelaide, which have some of the lowest vacancy rates in the country. However, the landscape is shifting. Rental market pressure is stabilizing, and FOMO isn’t expected to dominate like it did during the low-rate boom. Let’s be real—2025 isn’t going to be a year of runaway growth, but it’s shaping up to be a pivotal period of stability and opportunity. What do you think mates?
