Property Values – A Brief History in Time

When we look back at history, property values have not risen continuously – they don’t go up in a straight line. There will be times of flat or no growth, and times of extreme growth. We can expect this trend to continue. However, for investors, the important thing is that over long term the market will inevitable continue to rise providing the strong supply and demand balance continues into the future.

Historic figures shows property growth peaked during 1981, 1987, 1994 and 2003. Data from Australia’s leading research house Residex shows property values have increased consistently at about 10% per annum over the past 100 years in Australia – meaning that a well located property doubles in value about every 7 to 10 years.

There is a positive outlook about property as an investment vehicle. However there will always be someone telling you not to invest because “property values will never rise again”! Here are some simple examples:  

  • In 1987, there was the fear of a “1930s- type depression” after the stock market crash
  • In the mid 90s we were told inflation was so property prices would stop rising
  • Rising oil prices, September 11 and an oversupply of investment property in the inner city areas could have been great excuses not to invest in property over the last five years

The property market as with any other market is driven by 2 fundamental forces – greed and fear. To understand the market one must be able to be rational in your thinking and look at the actual return and true statistics.
