Australia's Property Market Booms: Rossmoyne Homeowners Lead with $1M+ Profits, National Gains Soar
  • This surge in profits is attributed to homeowners holding their properties for extended periods, often since before the price surge in 2020.

  • Australia's property market is thriving, with long-term homeowners reaping substantial profits; 96% of house sales and 90.7% of unit sales were profitable in the last financial year.

  • In particular, homeowners in Rossmoyne have achieved remarkable success, with average profits exceeding $1 million, marking the highest property profits in the country.

  • Nationally, the median profit for house sales is approaching $400,000, with significant gains reported across major cities.

  • Sydney, Canberra, and Melbourne are leading in dollar returns from house sales, with median profits of $655,000, $435,000, and $397,000 respectively.

  • In Perth, the median house sale profit has reached $231,000, reflecting a 55% increase over the past year, with 97.1% of sellers making profits.

  • Rossmoyne leads the profit rankings with a staggering gain of 288%, followed by City Beach at 161% and Willetton at 130%.

  • The profitability trend extends across major cities, with Melbourne reporting a 97.9% profit rate for house resales, while Brisbane boasts the highest at 99.5%.

  • Looking ahead, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia predicts potential interest rate cuts starting in late 2024, which may further influence the property market.

  • The limited supply of homes and increasing population growth are driving up property prices, enhancing profits for sellers, according to industry experts.

  • Moreover, the trend of homeowners staying in their properties longer has reduced the frequency of short-term sales, contributing to the overall market stability.

  • Despite the overall profitability, losses in residential property transactions remain rare, with only 4% of house sales and 9.3% of unit sales resulting in losses.
