Residential Property Prospects, 2008-2011

Recent developments in international financial markets have had a significant impact on the residential market. The interest rate-induced slowdown from the start of the year has continued as purchaser sentiment declines in line with increased uncertainty in the economic outlook. However, population growth is solid, vacancy rates remain low and rental growth is strong. At the same time, monetary and fiscal policies are now moving in support of the housing industry. How will all these factors play out in the short term, and how does this shape the prospects for price growth over the medium-term?

How well will the residential market hold up in the face of a deteriorating economic outlook and sentiment?

  • How will underlying demand be influenced by the prospect of weaker economic growth?
  • What is the potential for further declines in interest rates, and how will this impact on affordability?
  • How will the tight rental markets influence rents, yields, and subsequently  inventor demand?
  • After weakening in the second half of 2008, are prices likely to decline further, possibly leading to negative equity for home owners?
  • Will lower interest rates and rising rents put a floor under prices?
  • Do any regions offer more positive prospects for capital growth than others?
