Fairlight Suburb Report

Fairlight Suburb Report October 2023

Based on a CoreLogic suburb report for Fairlight commissioned by Shane Spence Real Estate (see link to the full report below) as of 10 October 2023:

Sales Market

House Prices: Fairlight’s house prices have rebounded from their recent low in December quarter 2022.  Prices for the June quarter 2023 achieved a median value of $3,600,000.  This is a strong result, just shy of the record of $4,000,000 set in the December quarter 2021. This recent recovery can be attributed to lower than normal stock levels, indicating that vendors are hesitant to list their properties for sale during a period of economic uncertainty.  Prices have increased steadily since the initial pause in interest rate increases in April 2023, which signalled to the market that the RBA was nearing the end of its policy of monetary policy restraint.

Unit Prices: The unit market in Fairlight has also recovered.  Median prices reached $1,650,000 as at the June quarter 2023. However, this is still below the highest median value of $1,900,000 achieved at the peak of the market in the December quarter 2021.

Rental Market

House Rents: Median house rents in Fairlight have temporarily stabilized at $1,400 per week.  This is down from the peak of $1,600 per week established in the June quarter 2022. Gross rental yields for houses have however managed to increase to 2.5%PA.
Unit Rents: Median unit rents have reached a new high of $800 per week, indicating an upward trend in unit rental prices. To provide some perspective, median unit rents in Fairlight in 2018 were $700 per week. This represents a 14% increase in 5 years, equating to a 2.9% per annum increase in rents over that period. Over the same period, Gross Rental Yields have decreased from 3.3%PA to 2.4%PA by the June quarter 2022. Gross rental yields have since slightly increased to 3.0%PA.
The current rate of inflation in the June Quarter of 2023 is reported as 6.0% per annum.

Please note that these figures and trends are based on the data available as of 10 October 2023, and the real estate market can be subject to various factors that may influence these numbers in the future.
