 Hello all, I have been looking at the luxury real estate market in Australia closely in the past year. I was thinking that the prices will start to fall now but it has not happened yet. In fact, the influx of ex-pats and offshore investors has further increased competition among buyers and the prices are touching the roof. The rising inflation and interest rates have not made any impact on the sector unlike the rest of the housing sector in the country. Billionaires and celebrities are investing in residential properties in Sydney’s suburban areas without any inhibitions. Here is an article that will help you understand this better.  https://www.milliondollarmansions.com.au/blogs/australia-luxury-residential-real-estate-market-update-2022/

The couple is talking in the Kempsey region, about an hour north of Port Macquarie, with the sound of birds chirping in the background.

 House prices in outer Sydney suburbs are holding up the best in the city’s property downturn, new data reveals. Meanwhile, just a handful of suburbs in some premium and inner Sydney pockets recorded house price falls over the year to September as the rest of the city escaped annual price falls. Experts say more suburbs will begin to record annual price declines as the downturn deepens and spreads but the top end of town has been leading the way. Rising interest rates, affordability constraints and inflation were the driving factors of the property downturn, which has Sydney’s house prices falling at their fastest pace in decades.

 Boutique real estate investment manager Marquette Properties has splashed out on another major office building in inner Brisbane with a $104.4 million deal for a Southbank tower developed by Mirvac Group (ASX: MGR). Hard on the heels of the $420 million acquisition of the Blue Tower in the CBD’s ‘golden triangle’, bought in partnership with an Lendlease (ASX: LLC) fund earlier this year, Marquette’s off-market deal for 189 Grey Street gives the Brisbane-based fund a foothold in Brisbane’s most tightly held office precinct. Mirvac offloaded the office building as part of the property giant’s $1.3 billion sell-off of non-core assets announced earlier this year.

 Close to one in five properties in apartment-heavy neighbourhoods such as Ryde and Strathfield in Sydney and the Melbourne CBD and Stonnington are selling at a loss, new figures show. Nervous investors and first home buyers have been turning away from cookie-cutter high-rise towers and choosing boutique unit blocks where possible, mindful of the high-profile cracking Opal Tower and the desire for open space through the pandemic. A wave of new apartment supply in these areas in recent years is leaving some sellers with little choice but to accept less than what they paid.
