  • City Proximity, Travel Modes and House Prices: the Tale of Three Cities in Sydney
    City proximity, travel modes and house prices: The tale of three cities in Sydney Shanaka Heratha* and Ajith Jayasekareb aSchool of Economics / SMART Infrastructure Facility, Building 6 Room 204, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522 Australia, E [email protected], T +61 2 4239 2330 ; bSMART Infrastructure Facility, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522 Australia Abstract House prices are partly explained by proximity to the urban centre. Generally, for simplicity, proximity to the urban centre is measured via straight-line distance (i.e. the distance ‘as the crow flies’). However, distance between two points in space can be mainly conceptualised in three ways – straight-line distance, road-network distance and overland distance. Therefore, the particular distance measure that portrays ‘reality’ as closely as possible in a given study is context-specific. We examine implications of using different measures of distance on house price analyses using a dataset for Sydney. Spatial econometric techniques provide a mechanism to compare different distance measures in a robust manner. The disaggregated analysis of three regions in the city confirms distinct distance metrics exhibit different effects on house prices. Improving the modelling procedure taking into account the local context leads to the accurate measurement of ‘city centre effects’, informing policy makers on the actual extent of house price decline with an additional km of distance from the city centre. A separate section links these findings to prevalent travel modes in different parts of Sydney, and it suggests there seem to be three different cities in Sydney in terms of residents’ preferred travel modes and their willingness to pay for ‘proximity to the city centre’.

  • Bankwest First Time Buyer Deposit Report 2016 Introduction This Research Was Prepared by Coredata for Bankwest
    December 2016 Bankwest First Time Buyer Deposit Report 2016 The eighth annual Bankwest First Time Buyer Deposit Report tracks the time it would take for first time buyers to save a deposit in 465 local government areas (LGAs) across Australia over the five years to June 2016. The report quantifies how long it would take a first time buyer to save a 20% deposit based on local incomes and local house prices and the level of the First Home Owners Grant, where available, by state. Data has been sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2011 Census, the ABS Wage Price Index, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and Residex. Deposit savings times have been calculated on the basis of a first time buyer couple setting aside 20% of their combined pre-tax income annually. The calculation assumes the savings are deposited into an online savings account each month and earn interest on this basis. This research was prepared by CoreData for Bankwest. Introduction 2 • There are less than half as many first time buyers (FTBs) in Australia in 2016 (13.4%) as a proportion of total buyers than in 2009 (28.8%), as house price growth outstrips wage growth, locking many FTBs out of the market. • It is taking Australian FTB couples longer to save a deposit on a median priced house in every state and territory except WA compared to last year. • Australian FTB couples need to save for an average of 4.4 years for a deposit on a median priced house, on par with 4.2 years in the 12 months to June 2015.
