The last time we saw
a five-year growth rate this strong, you'd go back to the early 2000s, sort of 2001 to 2004, the market was showing very similar conditions for similar reasons as well.
Rates were generally low, not as low as what they were through the pandemic, but there was very strong rates of population growth.
As you mentioned, the first home buyer grant had become available, so a lot of first home buyers acted as well.
But some markets, I mean, five years has been extreme in its diversity as well.
Melbourne
In five years, housing values are up 1%.
One.
1%.
Someone said they're back to 2014 levels or something.
It's not that bad.
If we saw a 10% drop in Melbourne housing values now, they'd be back to about 2019 levels.
Because values did rise pretty decently through 2020 before there was so much disruption from lockdowns in Melbourne.
Yeah.
But then go to the other end of the bookcase.
So the other bookend is Perth, where in five years, the market's up about 90%.
Whoa.
So you've got Melbourne at 1%.
90%.
90% in five years.
