Hot start but some cooling winds
The only way is up but you
can expect slower growth.
Top dollar: The
view from the
Fairfax family
mansion at Point
Piper, tipped to
go for $100m.
ASTRONGFIRSTHALF
Dr AndrewWilson
Strong market momentum
will ensure a solidstart to
2014, particularly inthe
upper northshore, the inner
west andthe west. The
15 per cent price growthof
last year, however, is clearly
unsustainable, particularly givenfading local
andnational economies andthe prospect of
anoversuppliedlocal investment market.
Incomes andprofit growthremainsubdued,
employment levels are falling andinflation
will keeprising as the dollar falls. All are
headwinds for housing. Price growthin2014
will probably be about half of that recordedin
2013 withmost occurring over the first half.
Dr AndrewWilson is senior economist for the
Fairfax-owned Australian Property Monitors.
CONDITIONSJUSTRIGHT
LisaBradley
After the dramatic
turnaroundof 2013, we
expect slower but still strong
growthinSydney prices this
year of about 9 per cent for
houses and7 per cent for
units. Confidence is highand
interest rates are likely to remainlow,
encouraging home upgraders andinvestors.
The lower Aussie dollar will bring further
increases inexpat andforeignbuyer activity.
First-home buyers will start to pick upagain
inthe secondhalf.
Lisa Bradley is a buyers agent and director of
Finders Keepers.
DOUBLE-DIGITPRICERISES
Louis Christopher
Were pretty bullish. Our
forecast is 15 to 20 per cent
price growthfor Sydney on
the back of very lowstock
levels. Auctionclearance
rates are very high, asking
prices have beenrising fairly
rapidly andhousing finance approvals at the
state level are some of the strongest we have
seenfor some time. The lower Australian
dollar is going to helpthe market as well. Its
almost a perfect trigger of various events
culminating ina strong rise inprices in2014.
Louis Christopher is the managing director of
SQMResearch.
FURTHERINCREASESAHEAD
Hans Kunnen
The scene is set for further house price gains
across Sydney. Interest rates are low,
migrationrates firm, families continue to
growandincomes have risen. Investors are
seeking better yields in
property andthe supply of
newhomes is not keeping
pace withdemand. Assisting
the tone of the market will be
ongoing, modest, economic
growth. However, a soft
labour market is expectedto act as a brake on
demand. Afurther price rise of 5 to 8 per cent
is possible, withlower gains for apartments.
Hans Kunnen is the senior economist at
St George Bank.
MORESUSTAINABLEGROWTH
TimLawless
Althoughwe may see
housing market conditions
start to cool over the coming
year at least at a macro
level it doesnt meanthe
housing market is set for
another correction. Growth
indwelling values will slowto more
sustainable levels, broadly inline withincome
growth.
That said, income growthover the coming
years is likely to be lower thanthe past
decade. The typical gross rental yieldfor a
Sydney house is now3.9 per cent. Yields this
loware likely to act as a disincentive
for investors.
TimLawless is head of RPDatas research and
analytics team.
SOMEUPPERENDMOVEMENT
RodCornish
Investors will still be inthe
market but probably not as
dominant as last year. First
homebuyers may play a
slightly bigger part. With
more owner-occupiers inthe
apartment market, this is
where the first homebuyers may come in. In
the upper end, well see a little bit more
activity andsome fairly moderate growthin
some properties if the share market
continues to showstrength.
Rod Cornish is the head of real estate strategy at
Macquarie Digital.
SERVICEDAPARTMENTSGAINING
HarryTriguboff
Servicedapartments are
becoming more andmore
popular as people start to
understandwhat they are,
andthere is a continuing
demandfor apartments in
areas that are close to the
centre of Sydney.
People have seenthat prices went up
because of lowinterest rates andwe nowhave
more local buyers than before.
Harry Triguboff is the managing director of the
Meriton Group.

Experts are tipping the first half of the year will be the
strongest, writes Carolyn Boyd.
After interest rate cuts jet-fuelledthe
market in2013 andcontributedto house
prices shooting upa stunning 15.1 per cent,
the 2014 market has begunstrongly with
sellers rushing to take advantage of the good
conditions.
The price growthhas prompteda surge of
auctions before Easter andthere were 1630
Saturday auctions scheduledinFebruary,
59 per cent more thanFebruary last year and
15 per cent higher thanthe previous peak of
February 2011, according to figures from
AustralianProperty Monitors.
Finders Keepers buyers agent Lisa Bradley
says theres still plenty of unsatisfieddemand
frombuyers.
The intense competitionfor properties
will ease back a bit later inthe year but prices
will still be going up, so theres no point in
waiting it out if youwant to buy this year, she
says.
Throughout inner andmiddle-ring
Sydney, the $750,000to $1.4 millionrange will
againbe the most competitive.
Nevertheless, sellers might be better to
move inthe first half of the year whensales
are expectedto be at their strongest.
Dr AndrewWilson, the senior economist
for AustralianProperty Monitors, says price
growthinSydney shouldbe about half last
year andthe bulk of it will happeninthe first
six months. Just howwell the market will fare
frommidwinter depends oneconomic
performance withpessimismcurrently
outweighing optimism, he says.
We still have some dark clouds onthe
horizoninterms of the medium-termoutlook
for the Sydney housing market. Thats the
local economy andthe national economy . . .
lowwages growthandlowprofits growth.
Angie Zigomanis, senior manager of
residential at researchhouse BISShrapnel,
says while prices growthmight slowthis year
it will continue. There are enoughpressures
there inthe market, there is enoughoptimism
inthe market andinterest rates are low
enoughthat buyers will still be wading inand
purchasing, he says.
Zigomanis predicts growthof 7 per cent to
8 per cent for 2014. Its not anoverly
comfortable level of growthbut not enoughto
trigger any downturninthe market, he says.
The post-Olympic price rises of the early
2000s are still the highwatermark of Sydney
house prices, Wilsonsays. We wont get
near that but certainly its ina very solid
secondplace at the moment.
Interest rates are expectedto remain
steady. The rate-cutting cycle may be over
or close to over. However, most economists
arent expecting official interest rates to rise
during 2014, says TimLawless, headof RP
Datas researchandanalytics team.
Perhaps the most bullishcommentator is
SQMResearchs managing director Louis
Christopher. Hes predicting price rises in
Sydney of 15 to 20per cent andnational
increases of 7 to 11 per cent.
Onthe supply side, theres hardly
anything coming onto the market nowbut we
think in2015, 2016, there will be, Christopher
says.
Laing+Simmons general manager Leanne
Pilkingtonis more bearish. I dont
necessarily expect prices to be doing
anything radical but I still think that there is
going to be a fair bit of activity, she says.
St George Bank senior economist Hans
KunnenandMcGrathEstate Agents chief
JohnMcGrathbothanticipate rises of
5 to 10 per cent this year.
I think were infor a three-year or four-
year growthcycle, McGrathsays. Cycles
are not a 45-degree trajectory, there are
always periods of a pause andthen
occasionally a slight correction. That is just
the natural way a market moves.
RodCornish, the headof real estate
strategy at Macquarie Capital, says a lack of
newdetachedhousing couldsee developers
searching evenmore keenly for infill sites.
We will see more of that andwell see some
industrial areas change . . . into residential
areas to get that newhousing, he says.
Raine &Horne chief executive Angus
Raine is forecasting growthof 5 to 7 per cent.
Therell be pockets across the metropolitan
area that outperformthe average, suchas the

robust lower northshore, inner west and
easternsuburbs markets, says Raine.
Idbe keeping a close eye onthe citys
inner west in2014, withcommuter suburbs
suchas Petersham, Stanmore, DulwichHill
andSummer Hill among the picks, says
Horne. There will be opportunities too in
middle-ring suburbs withthe relatively
affordable St George regionexpectedto draw
interest fromfirst time buyers.
Inthe west, Raine &Horne St Marys is
tipping the values of Mount Druitt houses to
growby 10per cent, thanks to lowinterest
rates andhealthy investment returns.
Inthe northwest, Raine says values in
Bella Vista, Rouse Hill andCastle Hill stand
to profit fromconstructionof the NorthWest
Rail Link. Inouter Sydney, Australands Nigel
Edgar says there have beenstrong landsales
for the past four years.
First-timebuyers
Without government grants for established
property (there is still a $15,000grant if you
buy newor off-the-plan), first-home buyers
appear to have struggledto get into the
housing market. Opinionabout whether first-
home buyers couldenter the housing market
ingreater numbers in2014 is varied.
RPDatas Lawless is not expecting the
situationto change this year. First-home
buyers are at historically lowlevels, andwe
dont see a material improvement infirst-
home buyer penetrationinthe housing
market over 2014 unless there are changes to
grant eligibility or state-level concessions,
he says.
However, APMs Wilsonsays first-home
buyers are starting to trickle back into the
marketplace. After highlevels of first-home
buyers in2011 and2012, it was natural to
expect a pause inactivity, he says.
Upgraders / Downsizers
The surge inthe prices andauctionclearance
rates shouldgive upgraders anddownsizers
who have beensitting ontheir hands the
confidence to take their existing properties to
market, says BISShrapnels Zigomanis.
Because the Sydney market has beenin
the doldrums for quite some time, a lot of
upgraders have been. . . waiting for a better
environment to sell their existing home, he
says.
Nowthat the market has pickedup,
Zigomanis is expecting to see more
movement. Inparticular, there is a level of
pent-upupgrader demand, he says.
Prestigeproperty
After struggling in2013, the prestige market
is tippedfor more actionthis year andsellers
have steppedupto the plate witha rushof
higher pricedhomes being put upfor sale in
February.
Signs of movement beganemerging inthe
lead-upto Christmas insome spots. By the
endof last year we were starting to see more
activity inthe $3 millionandabove price
range, particularly onthe lower northshore
andinthe easternsuburbs, says APMs
Wilson.
Sales are still typically belowwhere they
were three or four years ago but certainly
there was increasedconfidence andbuying
activity.
Wilsonsays confidence is catching.
Cornishis also expecting increasedsales at
the upper endbut says prestige prices arent
likely to improve muchthis year.
Investors
Asurge ininvestor activity was a significant
factor inprices growthin2013, particularly in
the westernsuburbs.
We hadunprecedentedlevels of investors
inthe Sydney market, says Wilson. Were
still seeing very highnumbers of investors
entering the market.
Generally, most experts predict investor
activity will remainstrong this year although
perhaps not at the heights seenin2013.
RPDatas Lawless says the typical gross
rental yieldfor a Sydney house is now
3.9 per cent. Yields this loware likely to act
as a disincentive for investors, particularly
considering the previous highrate of capital
gainandthe prospect that future capital
gains may be lower over the mediumterm,
he says.
Andif Christophers predictions of
15 to 20 per cent price rises for Sydney
housing come to fruition, he says existing
investors are going to have a goodtime.
Its definitely a sellers market andits
going to remainthat way unless we see some
kindof multiple increase ininterest rates,
whichif youlook at the interest rates, it is not
onthe forecast at all, Christopher says.

Demand is fuelling unit approvals, writes Carolyn Boyd.
The rushis onto quenchthe growing thirst
for apartment living witha raft of new
developments inthe pipeline across Sydney.
Were seeing recordnumbers of new
building approvals for high-rise apartments
inSydney, says Dr AndrewWilson, the
senior economist at AustralianProperty
Monitors.
The floodof newstock shouldeasily be
soakedupthoughas the increasing desire
particularly fromempty nesters andyoung
professionals to live closer to infrastructure
andamenities means the unit market will
continue to be popular, Wilsonsays.
We are seeing certainly more owner-
occupiers thanwe have seenpreviously
[buying] into apartments, says RodCornish,
Macquarie Capitals headof real estate
strategy. If youlook back over a decade ago,
literally developers were selling to investors.
KimHawtrey, associate director of
building forecasting at BISShrapnel, says
about 3000newapartments will come online
inthe heart of Sydneys CBDinthe next
three years.
Its a solidnumber but not a patchon
Victoria where oversupply concerns have
beenraisedover the more than7000new
apartments expectedinMelbournes city
centre during the same period.
Across Sydney, 7530apartments are due
for completionin2014, says SamNathan,
director of strategic property consultancy
Charter Keck Cramer.
However, development applications for
newapartments may have already peaked,
Cornishsays.
Its partly because there were
development sites available at the start of this
upswing, he says. Nowa lot of those have
beenusedupor commenced.
Because of the time takento build, it could
be several years before many of the new
apartments nowbeing approvedandsoldoff
the planwill actually be ready to house
people. However, says Wilson, it does reflect
that strong underlying demandfor units in
Sydney.
Angie Zigomanis, senior manager of
residential at BISShrapnel, says while
apartment constructionhas beenupfor the
past couple of years, it is increasing from
way back, its probably still not highenoughto
accommodate populationgrowth.
Leanne Pilkington, general manager of
Laing+Simmons, says zoning changes should
allowfor further development across the city.
Theres also a growing trendfor older
commercial buildings, whichhave passed
their use-by dates as office spaces, to be made
over for apartments. This is creating the
potential for some exciting offerings with
higher ceilings andhistoric touches.
Priceoutlook
Figures fromAustralianProperty Monitors
shows prices grew10.9 per cent in2013 to a
medianof $541,992, belowthe 15.1 per cent
market growthfor houses.
Wilsonis predicting apartment prices will
growat about half of what they didin2013,
due to the uncertainty over the local and
national economy andthe potential of
unemployment ticking up.
DavidMilton, CBREs managing director
of residential projects, says Sydney
apartments shouldrise inprice by 5 per cent
to 7.5 per cent this year. Some areas, like the
CBD, couldpotentially go up10 per cent, he
says. The city [market] is going to get
stronger andstronger.
Buyers agent Lisa Bradley of Finders
Keepers predicts price growthfor
apartments in2014 will be more steady than
spectacular.
Most of the apartment investors in
Sydneys inner-ring suburbs pitchtheir
budgets around$600,000, so competition
will continue to be fierce inthat range,
Bradley says.
Looking further out, JohnMcGrath, head
of McGrathEstate Agents, says there wont
be a huge differentiationbetweenhouses and
units, but I suspect houses may slightly
outpace units interms of capital growthover
three years.
For nowthough, Angus Raine, chief
executive of Raine &Horne, says Sydneys
apartment markets fromentry-level units
to prestige penthouses standto profit from
a weaker Australiandollar. Acheaper local
exchange rate is likely to attract renewed

year against the flowof investors, Zigomanis
says first-home buyer demandis at rock
bottom.
He doesnt anticipate muchchange this
year, saying first-home buyers will not make
a big contributionto the market.
However, Australands general manager of
residential inNSW, Nigel Edgar, says there
has beenstrong interest fromfirst-home
buyers at the more affordable end. At
ClemtonPark Village inCampsie and
Discovery Point at Wolli Creek, at least one in
five buyers is a first-timer, Edgar says.
Theyre newbuildings andso the first-
home buyer stimulus for NSWis clearly
directing first-home buyers, he says.
Theyre buying price-pointedproducts in
general aroundthat $450,000to $500,000
type of price point, where they cansecure it.
If investor interest cools, as many predict
will happenin2014, first-home buyers may
enter the unit market ingreater numbers.
There are some developers not just
targeting investors, a number are also
thinking about what they canpotentially do
for owner-occupiers as well, Cornishsays.
McGrathsays buyers of all ages are
considering apartments because housing for
some people has become unaffordable if not
less affordable.
Also, youre getting a lot of baby boomers
that are sort of moving into a more
containable environment of lower
maintenance andlower costs.
Investors
Inhis 30years inreal estate, Raine says he
has never seeninvestors more dominant.
Some of our offices inwesternSydney are
reporting that investors represent about
80 per cent of buyers, he says.
InParramatta, CrownGroupreports
strong investor interest inits 519-apartment
development Vby Crown, where prices start
from$415 000.
This has beenpopular withlocal
investors who see the growthand
employment potential of Parramatta with
many major corporations suchas Deutsche
Bank withheadquarters there, a
spokeswomansays.
Macquarie Capitals Cornishsays new
developments coming onto the market could
underpininvestor demandas there will be
stock to actually invest in.
The strongest part of the market will
continue to be that $600,000to $900,000
range andinthat price range I think well see
more growth, he says.
As the year progresses, softening yields
affectedby rising unit prices andflattening
rental growthare expectedto dampen
investor demand.
Were expecting a surge innewrental
properties available because of that [past]
investor activity, says APMs Wilson.
The Sydney rental market is not a magic
pudding. You just cant keepthrowing new
listings there andexpect tenants to popup
like mushrooms everywhere.
Raine says he has hadreports of tenants
pushing back onprices. Nevertheless,
investors are expectedto remainquite active.
Lowvacancy rates andgoodrental
income will attract investors, says
Hans Kunnen, the senior economist at
St George Bank.

Softer dollar likely to
bring back expatriates
Five offers: Belle Property Mosman agent Tim Foote sold this five-bedroomhome at 35
Carrington Avenue, Mosman, in December for $11 million.
Theres no shortage of buyers onthe lower
northshore andmany want to demolish50s
and60s properties to buildbigger, more
modernhomes, or renovate older Californian
bungalows.
There are buyers everywhere looking,
says Rawa Norman, of Ray White North-
bridge.
Inthe leafy Willoughby area, Normansays,
Were getting fantastic prices, crazy prices.
Many of Normans buyers are of Chinese
backgroundwho want to buildafresh, and
evenbuyers doing upolder properties are
splurging. People are spending upto
$700,000onrenovations to put anextra
storey on, says Norman.
Artarmon, whichrecorded9.8 per cent
growthinhouse prices last year and7.3 per
cent inunits, has beenparticularly popular
thanks to the reputationof its local school.
Dr AndrewWilson, chief economist for
AustralianProperty Monitors, says values
have beenpushedupfromthe bottom. He
says the lower northshore hadbeenan
underperformer over the past fewyears as
prestige property has beeninthe doldrums
inSydney.
Things couldbe looking upat the premium
endthough: $3 million-plus properties began
to sell towards the endof last year, says
RichardHarding of LJ Hooker Mosman. It
startedafter the election. . . andfinished
strongly inOctober, November, December,
says Harding. I dont think there were price
rises, there was just more stock turning over.
Most buyers of premiumproperties have
beenlocals trading up, althoughHarding
expects that may change slightly in2014.
Withthe Australiandollar softening, there
couldbe more expat buyers coming back in,
he says.
TimFoote, of Belle Property Mosmanand
Neutral Bay, says 2013 deliveredrecord
November andDecember periods for his
agency. The final quarter was particularly
strong right across the board, he says.
Foote solda five-bedroomhome with
north-facing deepwater frontage at 35 Car-
ringtonAvenue inDecember for $11 million.
We hadfive offers onthat, he says. To get
that level of genuine buying andthe desire to
purchase at that price point was pretty
strong.
There couldbe more growthto come, says
buyers agent Lisa Bradley, of Finders Keep-
ers. Mosmanprice growthstill has some
catching upto do andshouldsee stronger
recovery this year, particularly aroundthe
$2 millionto $3 millionrange. Other strong
performers in2014 are likely to be Cremorne,
NaremburnandGreenwich, says Bradley.
Foote is predicting more premiumprop-
erty will come onthe market nowthat owners
are seeing that the market is good.
InNorthSydney, a raft of newapartments
will helpbreathe life into the heart of the
precinct, says DuncanGrady, principal of
Raine &Horne NorthSydney. Grady estim-
ates that inthe NorthSydney hub there are
nearly 1000apartments under construction,
or inthe pipeline.
Grady says buyer interest has beenexcep-
tional, withall projects nearly fully sold
before completion.
Raine &Horne chief Angus Raine says the
lower northshore apartment market enjoyed
a bullish2013. We expect this momentumto
carry into 2014 withgrowthbetween6 and
10 per cent, he says.
InSt Leonards, Raine says first timers are
still making their presence felt because of low
interest rates. Its still possible to acquire a
modernstudio apartment inSt Leonards for
$400,000, whichis withinthe budgets of first-
time buyers, he says. They face competition
frominvestors who canrent suchproperties
out for $450a week.

Plenty of
buyers but
no stock
Hot property: 23 Kareela Road Chatswood
sold last September through Shead
Property for $1,555,000 $455,000 above
the reserve and well above the previous
street record of $1.39 million.
The upper northshore was one of the star
performers last year, says Dr AndrewWilson,
the senior economist for AustralianProperty
Monitors.
The biggest price movements for houses in
2013 were inEast Lindfield, Asquith, Waitara,
Gordon, Pymble and Wahroonga.
Muchof the growthwas drivenby
changeover buyers.
The strengthinthe upper northshore was
certainly the $1 millionto $2 millionprice
range, Wilson says.
IanClarke, principal at Belle Property
Pymble, says in2013 every monthkept
surpassing the previous month andthe 2014
market also looks strong.
Or as Mark Blake, director of Luschwitz
Real Estate, puts it, this year has begunwith
bloody goodbuyers out there andno stock.
No one is feeling the pinchfromall of the
rest of the drama inthe economy, he says.
Investors have beenactive andfirst-home
buyers have beenlooking but many times
they are being beateninthe market,
Clarke says.
Buyers agent Lisa Bradley of Finders
Keepers says school catchment areas will
continue to be at the forefront of the upper
northshore market.
In2014, Roseville, East Lindfieldand
Killara shouldsee muchbetter growthinthe
$2 million-plus range, she says.
Inapartments, newofferings at Gordon
have provenparticularly popular, says Kate
Wexlar, principal of RichardsonandWrench
Gordon/Pymble.
Gordonhas a trainconnectionthat appeals
to professionals working inthe city, she says.
The busiest area onthe upper northshore
last year was Chatswood, where 527
properties changedhands, figures from
AustralianProperty Monitors reveal.
HughONeill, principal andresidential
sales manager of SheadProperty Chatswood,
says 2014 has pickedupas it left off, plus
some.
Its really strong at the moment. Were
seeing big numbers throughopens, not much
stock aroundandsome prices that are really,
really surprising, he says.
ONeill says hes regularly seeing 30or 40
people throughviewings.
Inquieter times youmight get 10or 15, so
its certainly over double.
SheadProperty sells anevensplit of
houses andunits inthe Chatswoodarea and
ONeill is seeing strong interest across all
prices ranges fromolder one-bedroomunits
that start at about $550,000to premium
homes pricedfrom$2 millionto $3.5 million.
Astrong desire frommainlandChinese
buyers to buy inthe ChatswoodCBDand
immediate fringe is creating a slight two-
speedmarket though. Outside of that, its
still pretty strong but the demographic is
slightly different, ONeill says.
Ross Cooper, groupsales manager of
Chadwick Real Estate, markets properties
fromCastle Cove to St Ives Chase.
He says hes seenstrong demandfor family
homes pricedfrom$1 millionto about
$1.5 million.
Most potential buyers are northshore
families upgrading to a bigger home or
moving for schooling. Andwhile theres been
a rushof buyers, vendor numbers have stayed
steady, pushing upthe competitionfor each
property.
APMs Wilsonis expecting a strong first
half of the year for the upper northshore and
says that, shouldthe general economy slow
later in2014, buying activity may also soften.
Ina lot of ways it is a more traditional
suburbanenvironment . . . [and] the drivers
there are not as linkedto the type of
residential preference changes that are
happening inthe inner west, Wilsonsays.
They are more a factor of increased
confidence inchangeover buyers.
As such, if changeover buyers beginto feel
less confident, they may defer their buying
decisions. Nevertheless, the area still has
quite strong prospects, Wilsonsays.

Renovators get busy,
pushing up prices
Growth potential: This five-bedroomhome at 961 Barrenjoey Road, PalmBeach, sold for
$7 million last September through LJ Hooker PalmBeach.
The hammers andsaws are getting a workout
onthe northernbeaches as buying and
remodelling older properties takes off onthe
back of a much-welcome recovery insales.
There is a lot of renovating, says Century
21 Dee Why principal Brett Read. Theres
not so muchknockdownandrebuilding
most buyers are stretchedjust to buy a prop-
erty andmost do it witha viewto renovate
slowly over time as they canaffordit.
Ashortage of properties under $1 million
has agents onthe northernbeaches wishing
for more supply.
Anything under $1 millionis attracting a
lot of attention, says Read. There are just
not enoughto satisfy the buyer demand.
FromManly to PalmBeachthats really the
case.
DavidMackay, principal of LJ Hooker Ava-
lon, agrees. The bottomendof the market up
to aroundthat $1.2 millionmark is very, very
hot, he says. Buyers who fall inlove witha
property inthat price range might needto
move fast. What were seeing unfortunately
is gazumping, says Mackay. Andthere are
also many buyers wanting to seal a deal
before auction. In. . . . previous years, we just
havent experiencedthat, says Mackay.
First homebuyers onthe northernbeaches
are thinonthe ground. Century 21s Read
says directing first homebuyer grants to new
property has really causedthis.
Newunit blocks are fairly scarce andthe
ones that are being built tendto be out of the
price range of the first homebuyers, Read
says. Evenfor a one-bedroomyoucouldbe
paying close to $600,000.
But theres goodnews for investors. The
rental market out here is very strong as
soonas we get something we lease it straight
away, says Mackay. Its a turnaroundfrom
years gone by whenthere was a glut of
property onthe market.
Its little surprise that investors have been
snapping upapartments. The investors are
back inforce like I have not experiencedsince
03, says Michael Clarke of Clarke + Humel.
InManly andFreshwater, where there is a
changing of the guardas older residents
move out, blank canvas renovators
delights andtop-notcharchitecturally
designedhomes are bothpopular.
People who work incredibly hard. . . are
preparedto pay topdollar for something
where they canjust move straight inandput
their bags down, says Clarke.
Innewproperty, developers Denwol Group
andOakstandProperty Grouphave released
the secondstage of their Spring Cove offering
inManly. It has 17 houses pricedbetween
$4.35 millionand$5.75 million, andland
between$2 millionand$3.25 million.
Raine &Horne chief Angus Raine says Dee
Why, Freshwater andCollaroy shouldbenefit
frominvestors chasing older two-bedroom
units in2014. It remains possible to earn
close to 5 per cent gross yields for entry level
apartments typically 1960s-built apart-
ments, whichstart fromaround$525,000.
McGrathEstate Agents chief executive
JohnMcGrathis tipping growthfor Palm
Beachin2014. The rest of Sydney is kindof
10per cent where it was pre-GFC, andyet
that area is probably still 30per cent below,
he says. We will start to see some growthat
last.
As PalmBeachis a summer market that
rise couldcome towards the endof 2014,
McGrathsays.

Agents
frantic for
more sellers
On track: An artists impressions of a section of the $8.3 billion North West Rail Link, which is expected to lift values in Rouse Hill.
Agents innorth-west Sydney are desperately
trying to convince more home owners to sell.
Were certainly wearing our shoes out
banging ondoors . . . to convince people it is
time to put their homes onthe market, says
BenJobberns of GuardianRealty. We would
love another three homes for every one that
we have got onthe market because we have
the buyers for them.
He says 2013 finishedwitha rushwith
buyers looking for homes aroundCastle Hill,
Glenhaven, Cherrybrok andDural. Larger
landholders inthe BaulkhamHills Shire are
rushing to take advantage of recent planning
changes allowing 10-hectare landholdings to
be subdividedinto a rural cluster of upto five
community title lots.
Impersonally already working with
18 landowners. AndI amonly one of many
here, Jobberns says.
While the process canbe long andcostly
for landholders, Jobberns expects the
subdivisions will create anextra 40-60blocks
of landover the next fewyears. We have
never hadanything like that inthe
community; it will change the face of
acreage, he says.
At Pennant Hills, agent Chris Khoudair of
Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills says his
agency soldnearly everything it listedin2013.
It was actually a recordyear for us in
number of sales andturnover, he says.
Auctions arent the normfor Khoudair, but
there has beensucha rushof buyers he has
beenadvising vendors to consider going
under the hammer.
It was just unbelievable, Khoudair says.
Youlist a property andyouhave got four or
five different buyers in.
He says the bulk of his sales are for four-
bedroomhomes pricedfrom$1 millionto
$1.25 million, reasonably close to the
train station. Mostly they buy themandthen
renovate themindue course, Khoudair says.
First-home buyers are spending $600,000
to $800,000inPennant Hills, he says.
Andalthoughnewhousing estates are
oftenmarketedto first timers, Dr Andrew
Wilson, the senior economist for Australian
Property Monitors, says changeover buyers
are snapping themup. Theyre looking for
that outer suburbanlifestyle inthe leafy, hilly
semi-rural environment that the north-west
offers. he says.
The $8.3 billionNorth West Rail Link will
start to benefit areas including Kellyville,
Rouse Hill andCastle Hill, McGrathReal
Estate chief JohnMcGrath says. Those
areas are fabulous areas, but it has beena
little bit hardto commute inandout of the
city.
Demandalong the rail corridor shouldpick
upas the reality of the NorthWest Rail Link
finally sinks in, says St George Bank chief
economist Hans Kunnen.
Raine &Horne chief Angus Raine is
predicting the rail line will pushupRouse Hill
prices by 6 to 8 per cent in2014. Although
this couldbe conservative if demandfor
property inthe regioncontinues to outstrip
supply, he says.
AroundEpping, a surge inlistings at the
endof 2013 ledto anunexpectedslower
patch.
We still soldeverything inDecember . . .
but it was hardwork, says Betty Ocklander
of Better Homes Realty.
Everyone hadsort of throwntheir houses
onthe market andwednever seenso much
stock inyears.
However, things seemto have pickedup
again. One of the mainreasons people come
here is because of our schools they are
chasing schools withgoodrankings,
Ocklander says.

Buoyant apartment
market set to fly
Red-hot Redfern: The suburbs house price record was smashed last June with the sale
of the late artist Brenda Humbles home at 27 Chelsea Street for $2.58 million, $300,000
over the reserve.
House andunit prices inall but a handful of
city andeast suburbs grewin2013, some
surging aheadby more than25 per cent.
Medianhouse prices in24 suburbs, ledby
Clovelly, Bondi Beach, Rose Bay, Roseberry
andDouble Bay recordeddouble digit
growth. There were only two suburbs
Bronte andKensington where house prices
didnot rise.
Inapartments, medianprices in19 suburbs
grewby more than10 per cent, withincreases
of more than25 per cent inLittle Bay, Point
Piper, Dawes Point andMillers Point.
Raine &Horne chief Angus Raine says in
2014 the apartment market between
$600,000and$1 millionis set to fly.
Suburbs suchas Double Bay, Rose Bay,
Vaucluse, Dover Heights, Bondi Beach, North
Bondi, Tamarama andBronte couldjump
around10per cent this year, Raine says.
At the other endof the scale premium
properties over $3 million conditions have
not beenso buoyant. However, Dr Andrew
Wilson, the senior economist at Australian
Property Monitors, sees a more positive year
for prestige property. I dont think it will get
back to those previous price peaks but I still
think it will be a growthyear overall, Wilson
says.
BresicWhitney director Shannan Whitney
has seenmore inquiry for higher-pricedprop-
erty but off a very sluggishbase.
Raine cautions that homes above $3 mil-
lionneedto be pricedappropriately to sell.
Overall, the city andeast market was cer-
tainly busier in2013 the volume of houses
andunits soldjumpedto 10,910, a stark
improvement fromthe 8863 tradedin2012
andhigher than2011 when10,197 properties
changedhands.
The year endedona highnote, too. It is
probably the first year for a while that we
have seenmost of the stock generally
cleared, says Whitney.
The lure of inner-city living will strengthen
as Sydneys populationgrows, says St George
Bank senior economist Hans Kunnen. Prices
will continue to climb steadily, he says.
Young families are already edging ever-
closer to the CBD, buying informer no-go
areas inRedfern, Chippendale andDarling-
ton. That part of townis very hot, says
agent Poh Ling Ee, of Ee Real Estate. Inthe
past, lots of people wouldnt live inRedfern.
Buyers agent Lisa Bradley of Finders Keep-
ers says Rosebery, too, will benefit from
young families wanting analternative to the
inner east andinner west. Further east,
Bradley says, Paddington, Double Bay and
Bondi are likely to garner more buyer atten-
tion.
Pauline Goodyer, of Goodyer Real Estate,
expects there to be strong competitionthis
year betweenupsizers anddownsizers for
semis upto $1.5 million. We are going to see
tight supply, she says.
More large homes shouldalso come onto
the market as vendors move to realise capit-
al growth, says Goodyer. Andthe buyers of
those couldbe expats keeping aneye onAus-
tralias currency.
Were seeing movement, says Goodyer.
Theyre ready to buy now. Weve got expats
coming fromthe UK, coming fromEurope
andthe Americas.
Theres also strong interest fromHong
Kong andChina, says Goodyer.
InSurry Hills, agents say the controversial
future tramline along Devonshire Street isnt
affecting prices but has encouragedsome
owners to sell.
Further out, inKingsford, Goodyer says,
the tramline will inject excellent growth
potential as the university suburb will
become hugely accessible to trendy inner
city suburbs.
Bradley says the influx of apartments at
Central Park inChippendale will attract both
local investors andforeignbuyers.

Newmillion-dollar
suburbs go gangbusters
Booming Balmain: This five-bedroomhome at 6 Adolphus Street, Balmain, sold at
auction for $3.45 million in December through Cobden & Hayson.
Abooming 30suburbs inthe inner west
recordeddouble-digit growthlast year and
home prices soaredmore than20per cent in
eight suburbs: Birchgrove, Rhodes, Rodd
Point, StrathfieldSouth, NorthStrathfield,
Balmain, LewishamandForest Lodge.
The inner west has beenthe star
performer for the last couple of years, says
Dr AndrewWilson, the senior economist at
AustralianProperty Monitors.
Theres very strong changeover buyer
activity, particularly inthe $1 million-
$2 millionprice range.
The inner west last year joinedthe
million-dollar club as far as medianhouse
prices are concerned, Wilsonsays. It joins
the lower northshore, the northernbeaches
andthe easternsuburbs.
McGrathEstate Agents chief John
McGrathsays the inner west has become the
neweasternsuburbs for many people.
Theyve foundthe inner west as being a
fabulous lifestyle andclose to the city, he
says. It continues for us to be anarea that
will outperform.
2013 price growthwas exceptional.
While we dont anticipate growthof this
magnitude in2014, 8 per cent to 10 per cent
for houses insome suburbs, particularly
those closer to the citys fringe, are
achievable, Raine says.
InAnnandale andBalmain, many of the
buyers were fromout of the area. Every
secondperson. . . has soldtheir property
outside of the market, Belle Property agent
Robert Clarke says.
There is growing interest fromthe north
shore but the strongest movement is couples
fromNorthBondi andRandwick coming with
young families because they cant afford the
east. Fully renovatedhouses are popular with
this time-poor group. They are buying
something they canwalk into andhang their
pictures, Clarke says.
After his best final quarter infive years, he
is hoping more vendors will emerge in2014.
Last year was really limitedwiththe amount
of stock. Were hoping to get a more fluid
amount of stock coming through.
InNewtown, medianhouse prices
increased13.9 per cent to $900,000andunit
prices jumped16 per cent to $512,500.
Youve got the hospital andthe university, so
there are always people going andbuying in
that area, says PohLing Ee of Ee Real Estate.
It is close to the city and. . . youve got things
to do day andnight.
Further out, Roger Agha, of Devine Real
Estate, says families are looking to Concord,
where medianhouse prices grew18.6 per
cent to $1,225,000last year. It offers more
value for money whenyoure comparing it to
the other inner westernsuburbs . . . where the
landsizes are a lot smaller, Agha says. You
have great schools throughout the area witha
diverse mix of people.
InCroydon, older-style apartments are
appealing to first-home buyers andinvestors.
The percentage buying their first home
wouldprobably be a good60 per cent, Agha
says. Raine says escalating house prices in
the inner west will pushmore buyers into
apartments, meaning unit price growthof
5 to 10 per cent is very achievable for inner
fringe suburbs in 2014.
Lisa Bradley, of Finders Keepers, says the
light-rail extensionhas spurredspectacular
growthinDulwichHill andareas within
10 minutes walk of the other newstations
will continue to attract premiumpricing.
Another infrastructure development may
soonhave aneffect, too. Althoughthe inner-
west stage of the plannedWestConnex
motorway is still many years away, buyers
may start to become wary of locations along
its route, Bradley says.

ON SUNDAY
with market analysis
and a wrap of the
weekends BEST AUCTIONS
in the
EVERY WEEK
Where the price is right
Cheap: This four-bedroomhome at 21 St Johns Road, Busby sold last month for
$420,000. The suburb of Busby is 58 kilometres south-west of the CBD.
The property market inSydneys west is at its
strongest point in40years, says Raine &
Horne director Angus Raine.
Many properties are snappedupwithina
week of hitting the market andinsome
cases are barely being advertised.
Lowinterest rates, affordability and
healthy rental yields of around6 per cent are
attracting investors enmasse to the region,
says Raine. Owner-occupiers represent just
20 per cent of buyers withsuburbs suchas St
Marys, Claremont Meadows, Mount Druitt,
Minchinbury, WerringtonandLethbridge
Park very muchonthe radar in2013.
Improving infrastructure is another
reasonfor the regions popularity with
tenants, a factor duly notedby investors,
while the pushfor a secondairport at
Badgerys Creek wont harmlong-term
growthprospects either.
Dr AndrewWilson, senior economist at
AustralianProperty Monitors, says the west
was investor central last year.
Certainly investors andthose looking at
more affordable suburbs have giventhe west
life again, Wilsonsays.
We are seeing areas suchas St Marys and
Macquarie Fields that have gone under the
radar a little bit . . . being re-examinedby
buyers interms of what they have to offer.
Geoff Blaauw, director of ResponseREin
Penrith, says 2014 startedwitha bang.
About 20per cent of his buyers are buying
their first home and30per cent are buying
for investment. Investors are spending upto
$500,000andgetting a three- or four-
bedroombrick veneer home on400to 650
square metres that yields 4.5 per cent-plus.
Penrithhas changedover the last five
years, Blaauwsays. It has become quite a
dynamic city, withrestaurants, a goodsocial
life, goodsporting facilities . . . anda lot more
to offer thanit didinthe past withregardto
employment prospects.
Starr Partners Windsor director Adam
Buchert is seeing 20or 30parties at open
homes. We usedto only get five or six, he
says.
Despite increasedinvestor activity, rental
vacancy rates remainlow, says Buchert and
yields have heldup. Youcanstill buy a duplex
inBlighPark . . . for $360,000andits
returning $380a week.
Theres so muchbuyer interest that
Buchert has beenadvising vendors to use
auctions. The vendors were very anti-
auctioninthe past, he says. But we telling
themyouare doing yourself a disservice if
youdont go to auction.
Those selling via private treaty, however,
are being toldnot to rushat the first offer on
the table. We are actually advising our
vendors nownot to sell inthat first week,
says Buchert.
One of the most affordable suburbs for
apartments is St Marys, says Raine. Its still
possible to secure a two-bedroomapartment
for between$240,000and$250,000
althoughthese prices wont last, he says.
Mount Druitt remains affordable for houses.
Real estate principal AndrewMertonhas
anoffice inQuakers Hill andsays properties
between$350,000and$600,000are rushing
out the door. About 60per cent of his buyers
are investors.
Houses withapprovedgranny flats usually
commanda $150,000premiumandMerton
says he is seeing increasing numbers.
Theyve takenoff, he says. Owners are
putting theminandrenting themout or
selling themas a dual income.
While Mertonhas noticedthe rental
market is not as tight as it was, it is still firm
withproperties usually being rentedinless
thana fortnight.. Most investors are putting
the properties they buy straight out to rent
withlittle TLC.
First-home buyers have beenactive but are
noticeably older andwiser thaninthe past.
Theyre around28 to say mid30s andtheir
first purchase is well over $600,000, says
Merton.
Many are thenrenting out the property
while still living withparents or renting
elsewhere themselves.

Investors scoop renters
Starting out: Elena and Lee Baker, with three-year-old Naomi, are embarking on home
ownership in Oran Park.
Ashortage of rental properties continues to
drawinvestors to Canterbury-Bankstown
andSydneys south-west.
JohnOwsnett, of Professionals Chambers
Fleming Padstow, estimates rents inhis area
have jumpedabout 15 per cent inthe last year.
Its quite a rapidincrease, muchlarger
thannormal, says Owsnett, who reasons
first-home buyers pricedout of buying are
pushing uprental demand.
About a thirdof properties Owsnett sells
throughhis agency are 1950s fibros, which
are usually thenknockeddown.
Blocks suitedto two or more duplexes are
being snappedup, says LJ Hooker Padstow
principal George Lefteri. We probably sell
anywhere onaverage about five a month
development sites, says Lefteri. Last year
BankstownCity Council hadone of the
highest rates of development applications
andthey have beenpretty busy.
The finishedduplexes, usually four
bedrooms withtwo bathrooms, are soldfor
between$700,000and$900,000.
Stock levels inCanterbury-Bankstown
beganthe year lowwithlittle left over from
2013. Normally there are at least 200
properties for sale at any one time andlast
year it was only 50at the end, says Lefteri.
Along witha streamof buyers fromthe
SutherlandandSt George shires, there has
beena distinct increase inpurchasers from
China coming throughLefteris doors, and
they are happy to consider a range of housing
styles andmaterials. They are buying next to
anything, says Lefteri. If they canget
something close to the stationthey are doing
that.
Dr AndrewWilson, the senior economist
for AustralianProperty Monitors, expects
Canterbury-Bankstownmay be one of the
better performers of all the markets in2014.
ripple effect will againbe inplay in2014 as
investors andentry-level buyers pricedout of
the inner west shift their attentions to
neighbouring suburbs.
Inthe south-west, Raine says the area
enjoyeda storming 2013.
Its nowa challenge to secure anolder-
style two-bedroomapartment inhubs like
Liverpool andFairfieldfor less than
$270,000, he says. For new, or near new
apartments, the price tag is closer to
$330,000.
Inhouses, if youre looking for
affordability it will be hardto go past suburbs
suchas GreenValley or West Hoxton, where
its possible to secure single- storey, four-
bedroomhouses, withtwo bathrooms and
double lock-upgarage for aroundthe
$550,000mark, says Raine.
Ashortage of landis pushing upprices and
drawing would-be first-home buyers back to
the establishedmarket, says First National
HarringtonPark director Michael Alexander.
Whenanything comes upthat is vacant
andregisteredandpricedright, it sells very
quickly, he says.
Alexander estimates blocks bought inOran
Park andHarringtonGrove two years ago
couldnowbe resoldat a 10to 20per cent
premium.
Wilsonsays there are more newestate
developments inthe pipeline but one of the
challenges will be keeping themaffordable for
first homebuyers.
Alot of house-and-landpackages are well
over $400,000so . . . first home buyers often
have to wait a little longer andsave, even
thoughthey do get their $15,000bonus from
the government to purchase, he says.
Meanwhile, Alexander has seenmore
buyers fromSt George andSutherlandas
well as the easternsuburbs. Alot of the
young generationwere hesitant about
moving out west or south-west a couple of
years ago andthey are nowseeing it as quite
OK, says Alexander, adding that roadworks
have reducedtravel times making their
decisions a lot easier. More city workers are
varying their hours to travel off-peak, too.
InWollondilly, the Walker Corporations
AppinValley development will draw1000
newresidents over the next half-decade.
Since launching inJune 2013, 214 lots out of
336 have sold.

Locals rush
as south
opens up
Family ties: Matt Hughes and sister Fiona bought in Woolooware Bay. Photo: John Veage
Its beena case of out withthe old, inwiththe
newas locals insouthernSydney have lapped
upthe chance to purchase inthe areas two
biggest developments.
At Greenhills Beach, more than90per cent
of blocks have beensold, andinthe first
release of the Cronulla Sharks 600-unit
Woolooware Bay development last month, 177
of the 220available off-the-planunits were
snappedupwithinhours of the launch.
This is just answering the pent-up
demandthats beenthere for many years,
says BenFairfax, managing director of
Bluestone, whichis developing the
Woolooware Bay site for the Cronulla
SutherlandLeagues Club.
Nine out of 10buyers at Woolooware Bay
were locals andabout half were purchasing
for investment.
Inthe wider property market, Dr Andrew
Wilson, the senior economist for Australian
Property Monitors, says Sydneys southwas
just a tick belowthe star performers in
2013.
Wilsonexpects 2014 to beginstrongly for
the southbut cautions that inthe secondhalf
of the year, affordability issues anda
declining economy couldstart to impact on
prices, whichcouldhappenacross Sydney.
InJannali, Sanders director Peter
Geraghty says the office hadits best year in
2013 since opening its doors in1957.
The prices we have achievedare just
unbelievable, andwe are getting bucket-loads
of people throughthe opens, says Geraghty.
Properties are oftenbeing tradedwithindays
of listing andare mostly selling well above
expectations.
This year beganwithrecord-lowstock
levels, says Geraghty. Normally inthe
SutherlandShire, we have around1200
properties onthe market, he says. That fell
as lowas 540properties earlier this year.
The stock is coming onbut its not enough
to topupwhat we have lost. Until stock levels
returnto normal I believe [the strong market]
will continue, says Geraghty.
Inmany parts of the south, premium
waterfront properties pricedat $2 million-
plus are taking longer to sell. However, Ray
Fadel, principal of Raine &Horne Sans Souci,
says that inSandringhamandSans Souci
the higher-endmarket was really good in
2013. We hadfour sales over $3 million it
has beena couple of years since we have seen
that inthe local area, he says.
First-home buyers are attractedto the
areas aroundSutherland andabout 80per
cent of themare fromthe shire.
We sell a couple of hundredproperties a
year, but the mainchunk wouldbe to first-
home buyers, says Geraghty.
They look fromanywhere fromKirrawee
to Jannali, Como, Oyster Bay they love those
areas because of the schools. If they cant find
what they want, thenthey will pushout to
Menai or Bangor, where they canget brick
homes . . . for the same price [as they would
get fibro here].
Achange intraintimetables to create more
city express services fromJannali has
promptedmore families to consider the area.
We are getting a lot of people who work in
the city who wouldbe normally looking closer
to the city . . . whichis a big change, says
Geraghty.
Raine andHorne chief Angus Raine says
apartments inDolls Point andRamsgate
Beach, where the medianprice is about
$500,000, are attracting huge numbers at
opendays.
The single-level villa market inSans Souci
is also bubbling along thanks to interest from
downsizers, he says. Sans Soucis flat
topography andexcellent shopping facilities
are getting the thumbs-upfromretirees.
Insuburbs suchas Sans Souci, Carss Park,
Beverley Park, KogarahBay andRamsgate it
is nowvery hardto finda home for less than
$1 million, says Raine.
