RESIDENTIAL MARKET & ECONOMIC OUTLOOKNEW SOUTH WALES, SYDNEY & CLEMTON PARK
KEY DRIVERS OF INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
POPULATION – INFRASTRUCTURE – EMPLOYMENT
POPULATIONPopulation growth is an underpinning factor in demand for the residential property market. Identifying regions with strong population growth improves the potential growth in the value of property investments, and access to a growing market and future household formation.
INFRASTRUCTURE Locations supported by adequate infrastructure and services improve the value derived from locational driven amenity. Developments with the right amenity and services within walking distance or transit accessible supports both the local areas ability to sustain population growth and the desirability of the development.
EMPLOYMENT Proximity and access to employment nodes is essential for strong residential growth. It supports future population as well as opens up a local worker market for residential developments, with workers seeking housing within easy transit to their place of work. This can be provided either through developing close to existing and planned employment centres or within easy access to public transport connecting local residents to their place of work.

Residential property assets are a long term investment, with value underpinned by key fundamentals.The underlying drivers of residential property value have been identified as ‘locational’, with the amenity derived from proximity and access to employment, services, recreation and social infrastructure. Product alone is unlikely to drive demand like it has in the mid 2000’s, with place superiority now a key driver behind the success of high density residential property assets.
Finishes and views will no longer compensate for developments in marginal locations moving forward. Long-term value growth will be the most important motivator for buyers moving forward, and in today’s new market demand those regions accommodating a unique formula that will dominate the landscape over time.
Urbis has investigated the trends that will deliver sustained
and confident growth now and into the future. This involves recognising the key fundamentals that investors should seek to secure returns as well as identify regions that will be the most desirable to live, work and play. To help identify these locations, Urbis has concluded that the most desirable locations will be those locations accommodating “P.I.E.”: Population, Infrastructure and Employment.

Still Growing – 1,515 New Residents Per WeekSydney is Australia’s leading property market in size, value and quality of projects. The Sydney market is expected to continue to grow as population growth increases (projected at 1,515 per week for the next 20 years, as forecast by NSW Planning and Environment) and opportunities for infill development increasingly become rare. This exceeds historic actual growth observed between 2006 and 2011 which was 1,280 new residents per week, for a total increase of 64,800 per annum over this period.
Housing supply will continue to have difficulty keeping pace with population growth in the foreseeable future. During 2011 (the year of the last census) demand for new housing was 24,000 dwellings whilst only 16,700 dwellings were produced.
We will see a greater shift of Gen Y toward home ownership from 2016This demographic shift presents market opportunities and threats to residential developers and investors, namely:
• Sydney will continue to see population growth close to 79,000 per annum for the next 20 years.
• Housing supply will continue to have difficulty keeping pace with population growth in the foreseeable future. During 2011 (the year of the last census) demand for new housing was 24,000 dwellings whilst only 16,700 dwellings were produced.
• Generation Y will be the largest population cohort to enter the housing market, with this group anticipated to experienced a growth in demand from 2016.
• Apartment living is becoming as increasingly desired form of housing with 75% of all new housing currently being provided in infill areas through apartment developments over the past 5 years.
Focus on the Biggest Markets – Focus on Gen Y
Sydney is expected to see a shift of Gen Y’s into home ownership and occupation within the next four years.
There are considerable affordability constraints for this segment of the market. However, the age group has certain characteristics:
• They will marry later and have families even later;
• They are very accepting of density, however demand amenity; and
• A high proportion believe they do not have to move to the suburbs once they have kids.
As such, large proportions are expected to remain in locations around key centres, notably the CBD and Inner/Middle Ring where they have a high level of amenity and accessibility.

SHIFTING DEMOGRAPHICS
Existing Constraints: Affordability constraints within inner city or fringe locations – the youth market cannot afford to buy and are forced to rent (albeit positive for investors).
Future Opportunities: Compact urban design in inner and middle ring allows for more affordable product while allowing younger purchasers to maintain existing social and amenity networks.

DEMOGRAPHIC INSIGHTS – CANTERBURY
An important element of underlying demand for housing, and of key relevance to developers and investors alike are the preference for different housing types for each demographic as their age and housing structure changes.
The table below illustrates the significant role Generation Y will play in the property market in the coming years, with its proportion of the population increasing to 31.9% by 2016 and 33.1% by 2021, will largely dominating the population until 2031.

DEMOGRAPHICS HIGHLIGHT GENERATION Y HOUSING MARKET
Demographic shifts in population growth have been accredited as vital determinants of economic growth as well as property market demand and supply fluctuations. The Canterbury resident population while fluctuating between 2001 and 2011 is expected to grow by 1,840 new residents per annum, from 145,088 in 2011 to 181,850 in 2031.
Applied to the average household size in the 2011 census this equates to 657 new houses required per annum to accommodate projected demand. This increase in underlying demand could potentially underpin residential property in this area over this timeframe, as shown in the figure below .

The Canterbury LGA has a lower median income than the wider Sydney Greater Metropolitan Region (GMR). This aligns with the younger demographic profile of the area, likely to be maintained in the short-term given the dominance of generation Y as the main age cohort entering the market. This will drive demand for more affordable residential property, including higher density housing products and in particular, rental property.

• Government population projections for Canterbury Local Government Area estimate that the population will grow by approximately 1,840 new residents per annum to 2031.
• Average income levels within Canterbury are lower when compared to the Greater Sydney area, however this tends to drive higher demand for rental property and higher density forms of housing.
• Canterbury will experience growth in its Generation Y population who are expected to be the largest age cohort in the property market as renters and purchasers from 2016 onwards (Generation Y comprises people born between 1980 and 2000).

ACCESS TO EMPLOYMENT CENTRES
Clemton Park Village is situated within the Local Government Area (LGA) of Canterbury, approximately 13.6 km west of the Sydney CBD. The site sits just south of Canterbury Road which runs West-East, with the Canterbury Hospital located immediately north of the Charlotte Street and Canterbury Road intersection.
The combination of these employment nodes equates to approximately 265,000 new jobs by 2041 and a worker purchaser/rental market accessible to residential development in Sydney’s middle ring.
As Canterbury’s population continues to grow over the next 30 years, and fewer opportunities for infill development remain, the amenity driven by access to these growing centres by tomorrow workers will be invaluable.

INVESTMENT MARKET
APARTMENT SALES CYCLECHANGE IN MEDIAN PRICE (% CHANGE PER ANNUM)
PREPARED BY URBIS. SOURCE: RPDATA
Average annual growth for strata dwellings within Canterbury has outperformed the wider Sydney Metropolitan market for strata dwellings over 10 years from March 2004 to March 2014.
Median sales price for strata dwellings in Canterbury have increased by 5.0% per annum (compounding) over the past 10 years compared to strata dwellings in the wider Sydney Metropolitan area which achieved 4% per annum (compounding).
Within the Canterbury market, strata dwellings have grown faster than non-strata products. This stronger price growth indicates a changing preference and demand for attached dwellings types, a broad move towards more affordable housing products, and an improvement in the quality of apartment developments.
STRONG CAPITAL GROWTH
Despite varying sales transactions for strata units in the Canterbury LGA over the past four years, the median price of strata residential has improved consistently since 2008. An improvement in prices combined with lower sales volumes (compared to 2009 levels) indicates healthy demand within a tightly held market.
The resilient median price point indicates strong underlying value within the Canterbury residential property market, underpinned by a demographic mix that supports more affordable dwellings compared to the Sydney average.

RENTAL ANALYSIS
Sydney apartment rentals have grown steadily since 2004. The Sydney rental market varies from region to region, however locational drivers are a key determinant in the premium paid for rental stock.
These fundamentals are illustrated by comparing apartment stock across inner ring (0-10km from Sydney CBD) and middle ring (10-25km from Sydney CBD) suburbs, with the premium paid for inner ring apartments on Canterbury LGA apartment rentals at 53% in March 2014 (Housing NSW).
This however has not been static, with the premium falling from 78% in March 2004 (Housing NSW). This indicates that middle ring suburbs are becoming more sought after, with infill opportunities within inner ring suburbs less available than 10 years ago, restricting supply. This creates opportunities for investors in middle ring locations to achieve increasing rental yields for middle ring apartment stock.
Canterbury within this context is still relatively affordable, recording a median apartment rental of $360 in March 2014, a 28% discount when compared to other middle ring locations (Housing NSW) .

The On The Market Rental Appraisal table below details the minimum and maximum rents that are being sought or have been obtained for comparable apartments within surrounding suburbs and within other comparable, middle ring developments.
In assessing the On The Market Rentals, we have had regard to:
• Views
• Location
• Floor and Position
• Amenity/Finishes
• Size
• Infrastructure/Employment
The availability of comparable two bedroom apartments with one bathroom was somewhat limited, and it is evident that most new developments are incorporating two bathrooms into two bedroom apartments. Two bedroom apartments with two or more bathrooms attract a rental premium of 4% above two bedroom apartments with one bathroom.
