In further property news, Residential property prices could spike by 15% if the Reserve Bank of Australia is forced to cut rates to below 1.25 per cent in response to falling oil prices impacting the US economy, a prominent economist has warned.

Matthew Peter, Queensland Investment Corporation’s chief economist says the plunge in world oil prices has the potential to push the US economy into deflation this year, which would prompt the Federal Reserve to defer a tightening cycle to 2016. “The RBA would have to offset that and cut rates quickly – to 1.25 per cent for a quarter before raising it to 1.5 per cent – but cannot hold them there for very long due to the extreme impact it would have on the housing market,” Peter told The Sydney Morning Herald in a detailed assessment of the impact of the decline in oil prices on the economy.

“It would give a 15 per cent lift to housing prices.”

In relation to the local Real Estate market in Melbourne, the Residential property market seems to reflect the continued strength and demand from the end of 2014. Vendors and Real Estate Sales Agents are still favouring auction over private sale methods and more new investors are entering the market each week meeting the demands of our growing population in “the world’s most liveable city”.

Saturday 14 February 2015 was a day full of love and also love for real estate. A clearance rate of 74 per cent was recorded this weekend compared to 65 per cent last weekend and 70 per cent this weekend last year. There were 445 auctions reported to the REIV today, with 328 selling and 117 being passed in, 58 of those on a vendor bid. As of December quarter 2014, there are over 59 suburbs with median prices over $1million dollars in Melbourne. Three suburbs – Richmond, Northcote and Strathmore – have joined the million dollar median list for the first time ever. In 2014, auctions accounted for 60 per cent of all sales within these suburbs.
