-- オーストラリアの住宅価格指数は4月に0.3%上昇したが、シドニーとメルボルンで下落が見られ、2025年1月以来の最も低い伸び率となった。これは、Cotalityが金曜日に発表したデータによるものだ。 オーストラリアのすべての州都で4月に成長率が鈍化し、シドニーとメルボルンでは住宅価格が0.6%下落した。シドニーの住宅価格は2025年11月のピーク時を1%下回り、メルボルンの住宅価格は2022年3月のピーク時を2.3%下回っている。 ブリスベン、アデレード、ダーウィンでも成長率は鈍化したが、いずれの都市でも前月比で1%以上の上昇を記録した。 住宅市場の軟化は、買い手の需要の減速と連動しており、需要と供給の不均衡はオークションの落札率にも表れている。落札率は3月最終週以降、55%を下回っている。 「住宅市場は昨年末から勢いを失いつつあり、住宅価格の手頃さや住宅の維持管理上の制約が需要を圧迫していました」と、コタリティ・リサーチのディレクター、ティム・ローレス氏は述べています。「現在、金利上昇という新たな下押し圧力が加わり、投資家心理は急激に悪化し、インフレ率の上昇によって債務コストはさらに高まる見込みです。」
