Based on the April RP Data-Rismark Hedonic Home Value Index results, Australia’s housing market has started to display the first signs of a long-anticipated cooling in conditions in line with other recent data, such as weaker auction clearance rates, lower consumer confidence, six interest rate rises in the year and lower finance approvals.
In the month of April, Australian capital city home values (including all houses and units) rose by just 0.2 per cent, which is the lowest monthly growth rate RP Data-Rismark have recorded since the end of the GFC-induced downturn in December 2008.
