Study Abroad: NSW Properties Now Affordable for Students as Value Falls to Pre-Pandemic Level

The value of homes in New South Wales in Australia has dropped by almost 10 per cent in 2022. This has been the sharpest decrease ever since the pandemic. 

Following this, CoreLogic, is a CA-based corporation providing financial, property, and consumer information, analytics, and business intelligence. This company recently released data stating declines in several regions. It mentioned several places where house prices had decreased by almost 9.8 per cent. 

Apart from this, the housing markets have also cooled down in all the capital cities. In Sydney, the housing market has fallen down by 8.2 per cent. 

Most of the declines took place in the month of May 2022 and January 2023. This happened when Australia’s home value index had come down by 8.4 per cent. This has been the steepest decline ever in the country’s history. This comes after a meteoric increase in house prices during the pandemic.

Commenting on this, CoreLogic’s head of research, Tim Lawless, stated that regional areas like Richmond-Tweed and the Southern Highlands got to experience the maximum declines in property values.
