Corinella 40% Median Growth 2015
Median house prices in Corinella rose 40.4% in 2015 and thus far 12.61% in 2016 but note that it is a relatively thin market with approximately 80 properties sold over that period. With varied housing opportunities in the town from larger homes built in the last 10 years to holiday shacks dating back to the 1960s, the data can be deceiving and needs a closer look. At first glance it appears to be a volatile market however when you look at the trend over the last 10 years, you can see that investors, holiday home buyers and owner occupiers have enjoyed significant capital growth. The town has experienced capital growth well above that of it’s region and the money flow […]

Beat the Market to Regional Victoria
Following the recent release of the 2016/2017 Victorian budget, Opposition Leader Matthew Guy said that the most important thing the government can do to address the housing affordability crisis is develop a comprehensive population strategy. “We need to grow our regions, not throw everything at Melbourne,” Guy was reported as saying in ABC News. “Melbourne is going to be unliveable — a great heaving mass of 8 million people.” LandGipps Finance Manager Shayne Blackwood says that what Guy suggests as a solution is already happening. “There’s an organically growing number of people living in regional areas such as Ballarat, Geelong and Warragul who are commuting to Melbourne for work,” says Blackwood. “There’s also a growing number of people moving to these […]

Gippsland benefiting from rising capital city property costs
Latrobe City and Baw Baw are experiencing strong price growth on the back of buyers being priced out of the expensive capital city markets. New research from CoreLogic RP Data has revealed a lift in transaction levels and median values in some of Gippsland’s towns along the M1. With good access to employment up and down the inner and outer south east corridor, people are increasingly seeing the value in moving out further, finding more pace, a better and more affordable lifestyle. LandGipps Director David Sowerby said, “We are now finding that traditional growth corridor towns such as Pakenham, Cranbourne, Berwick and Narre Warren are pushing over the $600,000 mark for an average 4 bed house land package on an allotment over […]

Gippsland affords the “Great Australian Dream”
Struggling homebuyers have recently been urged by the Andrews government to consider moving to the country amid the housing affordability crisis. Now this article in Domain claims that rising property prices are changing ideas around home ownership. “The great Australian dream of a family home behind a white picket fence on a large block is becoming harder to reach” says Christina Zhou and Alistair Walsh of Domain. LandGipps can confirm that the opportunity of home ownership is still very real in Gippsland with land available from $100,000 close to the M1, shopping and employment centres. With our build partners this allows a new house land package for less than $300,000. Larger allotments are also more prevalent with allotments ranging from […]
