The IPN Property Market Insights series analyses listing activity across Australia’s regional housing market in comparison to capital city markets. The Housing Choice for Older Australians report examines the top 25 Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) regions with the highest proportion of residents aged 65 and over as of 2023. Key findings indicate that while the majority of older Australians still prefer detached houses, there is a growing need for smaller, low-maintenance units to accommodate the practical needs of an ageing population. Yet, unit availability remains limited in most high-retiree regions, with only a few areas offering a balance between houses and units. With a preference for space, privacy, and proximity to nature, older Australians favour coastal and rural settings. However, as regional areas attract more retirees, gaps in housing supply - particularly units - highlight opportunities for developers and policymakers. Addressing this need will involve balancing traditional housing preferences with emerging demands for accessible, downsized living options.

Introducing the IPN Property Market Insights Series.   Our property index reports will now be published on a quarterly basis and in between we aim to provide our followers with regional property insights, trends and analysis, under the IPN Property Market Series.    Our first report is the Diverging Listings Report. The report highlights how dynamics have shifted in the current market, specifically looking at the increase or decrease in property listings.   Comparing a rolling 12-month average, capital cities have shown significant increases in listings, mainly due to new stock and affordability pressures. Melbourne City has seen a sharp rise of +418 listings, whilst in Sydney Inner City there has been 115 more listings.   In comparison, regional areas are showing stable market conditions. Key regions such as Latrobe Valley (+87) and Ormeau - Oxenford (+78) have seen smaller listing increases, while some areas, like Shoalhaven, have even experienced declines. The stability of regional areas, compared to capitals, can be attributed to balanced supply and demand dynamics.    Overall, the data highlights that regional markets are more resilient and less affected by the economic forces impacting capital cities. Urban areas may continue to face upward pressure on listings, whilst regional areas remain steady.    What is happening in your region? Find out in the report below.
