THE COST OF LAND VS THE COST OF A HOUSE

THE COST OF LAND VS THE COST OF A HOUSE

Source; RP Data

Over the 10 years to December 2011, the rate/m2 on residential land has increased at a significant rate across each capital city.  The compound growth rate over the past 10 years is detailed below for each city:

• Sydney – 5.4%pa
• Melbourne – 11.7%pa
• Brisbane – 12.9%pa
• Adelaide – 14.4%pa
• Perth – 13.7%pa
• Hobart – 16.5%pa

Interestingly, if you compare the compound growth rate for land prices over the period to growth in overall house values it appears that the land component is becoming much more expensive while the value of the house is becoming comparatively more affordable.  Listed below are the ten year compound growth rates for capital city houses:

• Sydney – 3.9%pa
• Melbourne – 7.3%pa
• Brisbane – 8.3%pa
• Adelaide – 7.9%pa
• Perth – 9.9%pa
• Hobart – 9.7%pa

  1. We should never make something that might not be helpful on our part. Sometimes, simple problem gives a huge damage. Real Estate Business is a business that we should not put risk into it. Always remember that this business holds your future and also for your family.

  2. We have to be more careful from now on in choosing which property we shall have for our investment. Make sure that our decision to pick the one that we will market for our Real Estate Investing Australia is a better one. A better property will ensure our success in the business and also ensure its stability.
