Market Updates
$45,000 jump from March to April 2024
Terrigal's median house price suddenly jumped from $1,525,000 to $1,570,000 as demand grew for Central Coast houses. Terrigal has always been a favourite suburb for Sydney buyers, and their search for more affordable houses drives these prices.

Units vs Houses on the Central Coast (March 2024)
This chart shows that house asking prices are trending higher than unit asking prices.
Units have remained steady for the last two years. House asking prices are now climbing higher after a brief fall.
The 'All Units' data shows the median asking price was $452,842 in March 2020. Four years later, it is $653,752, a 44.80% growth in four years.
The 'All Houses' data shows the median asking price was $774,072 in March 2020. Four years later, it is $1,309,548, a 69.17% growth in four years.
This chart shows that the proportion gap between unit and house prices was steady between 2009 and 2016. Unit prices were roughly 65% of house prices. As of March 2024, unit prices are now 49% of house prices.
We at Mortgage Choice Erina can only speculate why this has happened, but the supply of new houses has been limited, and the supply of units is accelerating. There are also some indicators that Sydney house seekers are being priced out of their market and looking for more affordably pastures on the hashtag#CentralCoast.
Please call us if you would like to discuss your property-buying plans. The property buying process starts with understanding how much you can borrow.
Asking Rents continue to rise on the Central Coast (March 2024)
Units come into the Central Coast Picture
The extraordinary increase in #CentralCoast house prices over the last five years has shifted our attention to more affordable options. And I'm not talking about Queensland.
Units and townhouses are now in focus, particularly for first-time home buyers, investors (looking for cash-flow-positive options) and downsizers.
First-home buyers in Sydney have always seen units as the obvious entry point into the market. This is now a more common reality for Central Coast first-home buyers.
One of Australia's biggest residential valuation firms, Herron Todd White, produces a monthly infographic that utilises their valuers to estimate the stage of the local property cycle.
The Central Coast unit market moved from the "bottom of the market" to the "start of recovery" phase.
If you would like to discuss purchasing a unit or townhouse, please call me about establishing a pre-approval.

Average Big 4 Bank interest rate chart (April 2023)
Our "Mortgage Choice Erina" monthly average interest rate chart has been updated for April 2023.
As you can see, the average 3-year fixed rate and the average 5-year fixed rate have stabilised and even slightly reduced.
The massive increase in variable interest rates by the Reserve Bank of Australia is hopefully coming to an end very soon.
Most of the major bank economists are predicting one or two more 0.25% increases, however, the ASX futures market is predicting that we may have peaked.
Our Central Coast economy would benefit enormously if people ensure they are not paying too much to the banks. The money being wasted on high-interest rates could be better spent in our local economy.

Central Coast House Prices - May 2023
Our Central Coast house price results are out for May 2023.
Whilst the median house price dropped from $955,202 to $951,420, the rate of decline has slowed this month. The drop from March to April was almost $20,000.
This median house price level was last seen back in December 2021. Amazingly, only 18 months prior to this date, the median house price was $300,000 lower. To put this into mortgage perspective, an additional $300,000 in borrowings would have a weekly repayment of $415, based on a 6% interest rate over a 30-year loan term.
The ranked table below shows 20 Central Coast suburbs with the highest number of houses. We have shown you the median house prices from January to May. As you can see, the trend is heading down for every suburb on this list. Although, some have fallen quite a lot more than others.
As always, we encourage you to call or email us if you have any questions at all.
