Real Estate Institute of Victoria<\/a> show that the market is still strong.
\nWhile there has been a small adjustment from the previous quarter, the market is in much better shape than it was in 2019 across all property types.
\nREIV president Leah Calnan said the figures have confirmed the feedback that we are receiving from our membership.
\n\u201c2020 has presented challenges in every respect and these results should provide a great source of confidence for all Victorians,\u201d Ms Calnan said.
\n\u201cMany pundits predicted doom and gloom amid crashes for Victorian property prices and that just hasn\u2019t happened. Despite COVID-19, our market is stronger than 2019.\u201d
\n\u201cPrices haven\u2019t tumbled and any home up for sale in Victoria is swamped with interest from buyers.\u201d
\nHouse values in regional Victoria have held steady with the quarterly median house price at $420,000 up by 0.1 per cent over the past quarter and a healthy 3.7 per cent annual growth.
\nRegional units have shown tremendous growth of 13.6 per cent over the past quarter, the median unit price for regional Victoria of $339,000, setting a new quarterly record.
\nHouse values in Metropolitan Melbourne fell by just 3.5 per cent over the June quarter, following four quarters of continuous growth.
\nWith a median price of $864,000 houses in metropolitan Melbourne are still 6.1 per cent more valuable than they were at this time last year.
\nHouses in middle Melbourne recorded an astonishing 9.4 per cent increase since June 2019.
\nThe underlying strength of the Victorian market is evident as prices have stayed firm despite volume of sales transactions significantly reduced due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic.
\n29 per cent fewer properties sold in Victoria for the June 2020 quarter when compared to June 2019 quarter.
\nNew records have also been set for houses and units sold by private treaty, houses sold by this method are up by 7.6 per cent and unit sale prices have grown by 3.4 per cent over the quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"REIV president Leah Calnan says the Victorian property market has displayed true strength in holding firm against all predictions regarding the impact of COVID-19.
