HORSHAM MARKET OVERVIEW


We are pleased to present our latest report compiled by our PRDnationwide research division.


Key Highlights
• In the past 12 months ending February 2012, the median house price increased by 11.3 per cent, to $210,000.
• Over the past ten years, sellers have realised an average capital growth return of 8.4 per cent per annum, through an average holding period of 7.4 years.
• The final vacant land median price recorded for the February 2012 six month period was $100,500, equating to an increase of $53,000 in just three years.
• Due to a lack of prime land potential buyers are assessing established homes as more viable, hence an increase in recent activity in the $300,000 plus price range.

Great start!

It's been an amazing start to 2012 already, with massive numbers of buyers out and about right through January and early this month.

We have seen a real surge in interest from investors across the board and demand for brick veneer town units, townhouses and particularly executive homes is extremely strong. This is evidenced by a large number of recent sales between $300,000 and $500,000 in Horsham.

This week we release our latest property market research which has some interesting trends developing.

Welcome 2012!

In our first year with PRDNationwide, we were pleased to finish in the Top 10 offices nationally.
We have no doubt the National Branding and Network brought more buyers to our doors we we were able to convert into sales for our Vendors.

Many real estate markets around the country struggled in 2011, but Horsham remained very strong.

After a slightly slow first quarter start, mainly due to the floods, we recorded our highest ever consecutive six months in sales (April to September) and our annual sales volume finished up overall on the previous year.

Our average days on market in 2011 to clear new listings was just 30 days , with around 98% of the asking price being achieved on average which is exceptional.

Rental demand continued to remain strong, and in the last quarter of 2011 we had an average 0% vacancy rate ( no empty houses! ) which made our investors extremely happy.

Looking ahead we have water back in the recreational lakes and the farmers have filled the bins so there are plenty of smiling faces around. Rental demand continues to climb, investors are bombarding us on the internet, and there has been a surge in sales in the $300,000 - $500,000 range indicating confidence in our local market.

We look forward to an exciting year in real estate and please feel free to call us on 53820000 if there is anything in real estate we can do to help you.
