PHOTO: Mortgage rates have an obvious effect on the real estate markets – but how much? FILE<\/strong><\/p>\n

New data reveals how much\u00a0house prices\u00a0drop every time\u00a0mortgages\u00a0go up, with\u00a0Brisbane<\/a>\u00a0buyers finding the largest falls hand-in-hand with rates rises.<\/p>\n

Every time interest rates increase by 1 per cent, property prices slide by 1.34 per cent nationally, Domain’s research shows, demonstrating that the trade off of growing mortgages are\u00a0increasingly cheaper\u00a0prices.<\/p>\n

When drilled down to specific capital cities, the impact is even more aggressive.<\/p>\n

Home values in Brisbane have decreased the most in tandem with climbing mortgage repayments. Every 1 per cent rate rise results in house prices falling by 2.45 per cent – the deepest drop of any capital, according to Domain data.<\/p>\n

Sydney<\/a>‘s house prices have slipped by 1.96 per cent for every 1 per cent increase in interest rates.<\/p>\n

Melbourne buyers and sellers have seen slender change – house prices have dipped by 0.89 per cent for every 1 per cent added onto the rate.<\/p>\n

In Perth<\/a>, house prices dipped by 1.3 per cent for every 1 per cent rate bump.<\/p>\n

Melbourne is an oddity, Domain’s research team found, with about half the price decline of Sydney. Researchers found this may be because population growth and housing demand in Victoria has put a floor under price falls.<\/p>\n

“The underlying cause may be that Melbourne has experienced the most rapid population growth rate historically and is set to become Australia’s largest city (population-wise) by 2031-32,” Domain’s report said.<\/p>\n

“The rapid population growth has continued to drive an increase in housing demand despite increases in mortgage rates. Even with the negative demographic shifts during the pandemic, Melbourne has made a quick population recovery.”<\/p>\n

Domain’s data also shows that for every 1 per cent the population grows nationally, house prices – for the combined capitals – increase by 8.18 per cent.<\/p>\n

“This suggests that over time, changes in population are more impactful to the property market movements than mortgage rates,” Domain’s report said.<\/p>\n

Domain chief of economics and research Dr Nicola Powell said the data reveals the power of factors other than rates on the market.<\/p>\n

“Mortgage rates should play a role in determining the home loan amount you are willing to borrow, especially concerning serviceability buffers. But our analysis shows that mortgage rates aren’t as important for house prices in the long term,” she said in the report.<\/p>\n

“It’s important to remember that multiple factors influence the market from house-price fluctuations and population patterns to income growth, tax regimes and even lifestyle preferences.<\/p>\n

“In this price cycle alone, while property prices have been falling, they still remain much higher than before the pandemic property boom, with houses across the combined capitals remaining about $204,000 higher than the mid-2020 trough.”<\/p>\n

Nicola said her advice to buyers and sellers is to “tighten purse strings” and “ride out” this period of uncertainty in the market.<\/p>\n

“Our analysis is based on past data, so while we can assume that future house price fluctuations because of mortgage rate changes will be similar to our estimates, there are a lot of other factors to consider,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Let’s keep our eyes on population growth as overseas migration has made a sharp positive turn and will continue to be a hot topic into 2024. Supply chain delays and cost blowouts have already slowed down housing supply, creating a backlog of new home completions. Government planning around future supply should be high on the agenda over the years to come.”<\/p>\n
