• Australia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in December quarter 2017 (the latest available data) increased by 0.36% from the corresponding figure in the previous quarter. This led to an annual GDP gain stabilising at 2.27%. Public investment, underpinned by major state infrastructure projects, was a key driver of economic growth. A recovery in new private investment in non–residential dwellings, machinery and equipment came through the quarter, which also supported economic growth.

• However, GDP growth remains below the long term trend. Private consumption growth is moderate in the face of low wage growth, while new dwelling investment has declined by 2.53% over the quarter and 1.99% over the year.

• Growth in the Victorian economy has outperformed the national average, with annual State Final Demand (SFD) at December 2017 being 4.68% higher than the same figure at December 2016. Significantly, this was also the highest growth rate amongst all states and territories.

ECONOMIC MARKET UPDATE

INTEREST RATE• After reducing the cash rate by 25 basis points in

both May and August of 2016, the RBA has made no further changes in the following eighteen monthly meetings, leaving the cash rate at a historical low of 1.50%. This persistent low interest rate environment has been attributed to below trend economic growth and low wage growth resulting in weak inflationary pressures.

• Moreover, with CoreLogic data showing Sydney and Melbourne experiencing a correction in 2018 and residential investment lending contained, it has removed the requirement for the cash rate to rise in the short term. Nevertheless, additional cuts to the cash rate are unlikely, with the next RBA move in the cash rate still likely to be up, although not until 2019.

• APRA’s directive for banks to limit the flow of new interest only lending to 30% for new residential mortgage lending, and subsequent strict criteria for allowing interest only loans to have a LVR of above 80%, resulted in higher borrowing rates for interest only loans for both owner occupiers and investors.

• The official standard variable interest rate for owner occupiers sits at 5.20% (while investor loans sits at 5.80%). However, with some bargaining, owner occupiers can obtain a discounted interest rate of 4.50% (investors can obtain 5.10%) from the major lenders. Furthermore, some banks outside of the ‘big four’ currently have introductory rates of 3.65% for owner occupiers who pay principal and interest.

• The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 1.90% across Australia in March quarter 2018, compared to the same quarter in 2017. This continued the trend of CPI remaining below the RBA targeted range of 2% to 3% since late 2014. Sub–groups that experienced significant annual increases in their respective CPI index were alcohol and tobacco (6.96%), followed by health (4.18%) and housing (3.25%).

• The Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalated by a higher 2.16% in Melbourne in March quarter 2018, compared to the same quarter in 2017. In Melbourne, the CPI housing index (+4.57%) rose at a faster pace than overall CPI in March quarter 2018, highlighting the strength of the Victorian housing market.

• The number of employed persons in Victoria increased by a modest 2.77% over the twelve months to March 2018. This was slightly below the national annual employment growth rate at March 2018 of 3.03%.

• However, Victoria’s unemployment rate has improved through 2018, lowering to 5.2% at March 2018, which was below the national unemployment rate of 5.5%.

• Average weekly earnings for full time adults in Victoria of $1,572.50 at November 2017, representing annual growth of 1.35%.

CONSUMER SENTIMENT

The Westpac-Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment Index is the most widely quoted barometer of consumer sentiment in Australia. A score of greater than 100 means that optimists outnumber pessimists, with readings of below 100 indicating that pessimistic consumers are in the majority.

• The Westpac-Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment Index continues to hold in slightly optimistic territory with a reading of 103.0 in March 2018. During the month, near term expectations for the economy and assessments of family finances both improved.

• However, the Index is still well below levels typically associated with strong consumer sentiment. Expectations on the long term view of the economy, house prices and job security all deteriorated.

VALUE OF LOANS BY PURCHASER TYPE

VALUE OF LOANS BY DWELLING TYPE

URBAN IQFINANCE ACTIVITY: VICTORIA

• The total value of new owner occupier loans in March quarter 2018 escalated by 11.4% compared to the previous corresponding period. This was primarily attributed to the substantial 28.9% annual growth in the median lot price at March 2018, with owner occupier loans for new dwellings increasing at a greater rate compared to that for established dwellings. This reflects a shift in demand to the relatively more affordable outer metropolitan areas, and also to new housing in developments in the greenfields.

• The total value of loans to investors during the three months to February 2018 was 1.7% lower compared to the same period in 2017. With investor lending now contained, the Australian Prudent Regulation Authority (APRA) has decided to remove its 10 per cent investor loan growth benchmark for authorised deposit-taking institutions that have displayed responsible lending practices, although the limit of new interest only lending to 30% of total new residential mortgage lending remains.

Owner Occupier Investor

Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics

• Victoria is experiencing high levels of owner occupier lending, with 43,667 new loans approved during March quarter 2018. Buoyant owner occupier demand has been underpinned by strong population growth and historical low borrowing costs. As a result, the number of new owner occupier loans escalated by 2.9% from the same period in 2017.

• In March quarter 2018, compared to the previous corresponding period, new owner occupier loans for newly constructed dwellings and recently constructed dwellings (but have not been lived in) increased by a solid 6.7%, and by 2.1% for established dwellings. Established dwellings accounted for a relatively high 83% of total new owner occupier loans in the three month period.

• Overall, the number of new owner occupier loans during the twelve months to March 2018 in Victoria was a record at 190,882 loans. This was 4.8% above the number of similarly financed dwellings over the twelve months to March 2017.

NUMBER OF LOANS TO FIRST HOME BUYERS AND NON-FIRST HOME BUYERS

• The number of loans attributed to first home buyers reached 8,169 loans over March quarter 2018, which was a substantial 35.3% higher than first home buyer loans in the same period in 2017. This was the highest March quarter total of first home buyer loans since March quarter 2009 when the Federal Government’s first home owner boost scheme was in place.

• This surge in first home buyer demand was attributed to the two Victorian Government initiatives commenced in July 2017 of abolishing stamp duty for first home buyers when purchasing a dwelling of up to $600,000 in value when owner occupying, and the doubling of the first home buyer grant to $20,000 when purchasing a new dwelling outside of Greater Melbourne. However, with the median Melbourne house price now well above the stamp duty concessions thresholds, industry expects the stamp duty cuts to have a less significant effect.

• Dwellings financed to non-first home buyers recorded 35,498 loans during March quarter 2018, reflecting a 2.5% decline on the same quarter in the previous year.

• With the percentage decrease in the number of loans from December quarter 2017 to March quarter 2018 being similar for both first home buyers and non–first home buyers, the proportion of total loans accounted for by first home buyers remained at a relatively high 19%.

AVERAGE LOAN SIZE – FIRST HOME BUYERS AND NON-FIRST HOME BUYERS

• The average loan size to first home buyers in March quarter 2018 increased by 7.6% from the previous corresponding period, while the average loan size to non-first home buyers escalated by 9.2%.

• After narrowing during the first half of calendar 2016, the divergence between the average loan amount to first home buyers and non-first home buyers has widened again through financial year 2017, with this difference being relatively large.

• At March 2018, the average loan size attributed to a non-first home buyer ($414,000) was $66,300 above the average loan size to a first home buyer ($347,700).

URBAN IQBUILDING ACTIVITY: VICTORIAAPPROVALS• Victoria recorded a robust 18,443 dwelling approvals in March quarter 2018, representing a sizeable

escalation of 18.8% on dwelling approvals in the same quarter in 2017. The strength of dwelling approvals during the last two quarterly periods has boosted total approvals over the twelve months to March 2018 to 72,593 dwellings, which was 7.6% higher than approvals in the previous corresponding period.

• New detached houses recorded a solid 9,643 approvals in March quarter 2018, which reflected growth of 16.1% on new detached house approvals in the same quarter in 2017. Record lot sales activity from 2016 has resulted in new house approvals strengthening from mid-2017, as these sales start moving into settlement. Subsequently, over the twelve months to March 2018, there were 38,425 new detached houses approved, reflecting a 6.2% annual increase.

• Recent strong house and lot price growth has benefited demand for semi-detached/row/terrace houses and townhouses, as purchasers are increasingly priced out of the detached house market. Approvals of semi-detached/row/terrace houses and townhouses were up by 3.6% in March quarter 2018 to 2,869 dwellings, compared to the same quarter in 2017. Annual growth was much stronger at 19.6%, with a long term high of 13,168 semi-detached/row/terrace house and townhouse approvals during the twelve months to March 2018.

• Another 5,931 flats/units/apartments in buildings of 4 storeys and higher were approved in March quarter 2018, after a record 9,204 approvals in the previous quarterly period. Strong population growth is underpinning tenant demand and encouraging investor demand for high density dwellings. This has propelled approvals of flats/units/apartments in buildings of 4 storeys and higher to 21,000 dwellings over the twelve months to March 2018, which was 3.6% above approvals in the previous corresponding period.

Over the past decade housing affordability has received an increasing share of media attention. Generally, first home buyers are noted as the age cohort that bears the brunt of consistently increasing house prices. However, in more recent times the dialogue has shifted to include all age cohorts who particularly have a desire to reside in the middle ring of Melbourne but find it increasing unaffordable to do so.

The common benchmark for identifying housing stress in Australia has historically been identified as those households that allocate at least 30% of disposable household income to finance their mortgage. This ratio has been in place for decades and in recent times there is a growing view that the ratio should be closer to 40% to reflect the market of today.

The chart below reflects 45 suburbs throughout the growth corridors of Melbourne and Greater Geelong. The proportion of household income required to finance a mortgage was 45% or higher in Burnside, Point Cook, Deanside, Greenvale, and Berwick. These five suburbs also contained the most expensive median lot prices in March quarter 2018, all above $420,000, which was also considerably more expensive than that for Greater Melbourne of $323,000.

A further 9 suburbs recorded a mortgage to household income ratio of between 40% and 42%, which included the established suburbs of Williams Landing, Mernda and Craigieburn, along with the highly desirable and competitive markets of Frasers Rise, Aintree and Botanic Ridge.

Another 23 suburbs covered recorded a mortgage to household income ratio of above 35% and below 40%, with this level being synonymous with the emergence of constrained affordability. However, the ratio could be far worse if it wasn’t for the increased level of land supply that has come on line in recent years. Nevertheless, if the roll out of PSPs slowed, price pressures will augment and further adversely affect affordability levels.

The proportion of household income needed to service a mortgage at 35% or below were in suburbs within the Geelong region due to high household incomes, and in suburbs around the Melton Township due to relatively less expensive lot prices.

CALCULATION ASSUMPTIONS The chart depicts the median land price in March quarter 2018 by suburb, along with a median anticipated construction cost and net income by corridor. The median construction costs and incomes are taken from RPM’s Internal Buyer Surveys. The construction cost ranges from $232,600 (Moorabool) to $253,100 (Wyndham) while income levels reflect net levels to provide a more accurate level of disposable income. In addition, the chart also assumes a 20% deposit has been paid and mortgage repayments are based on a 30 year loan at the discounted standard variable rate at March 2018 of 4.50%.
