Horsham

<html><body>
Horsham has plenty of room for improvement in 2017, but improvements in the rural season may lead to improvements, according to HTW’s February 2017 update.
The valuation firm says the Horsham residential market is coming off a sluggish 2016, however, above average harvest yields produced this season may instil some confidence back into the region and the property market.
Despite the better rural season, the market is expected to remain slow at the top end with a limited buyer pool in this price range.
"We hope to see an increase in the volume of sales within the owner-occupier market ($300,000 to $400,000)," the report says.
"Local agents are already reporting an increased buyer interest this year in comparison to the same period last year, however we expect prices to remain relatively stable within this price bracket.
"Unit prices are likely to remain stable with interest from both investors and people looking to downsize.
"The rural residential market will again be closely watched with a low volume of sales and high volatility expected."

Riverfront Horsham residential properties for $500,000

Buying and renovating residential properties have become popular in Horsham, according to Herron Todd White’s latest report.
The property investment firm says that housing affordability is one of the main driving factors.
“The interest in buying and renovating residential properties has been increasingly popular within the Horsham market due to two main driving factors: housing affordability and the increasing popularity of home renovation shows.
“The renovation sector is dominated by owner- occupiers, using this opportunity to enter the property market and slowly develop a house into a home.
“Investors generally do the bare minimum to a property, only making it attractive to prospective tenants.
“The Horsham West area is becoming increasingly popular with buyers, due to its many older style homes that provide an opportunity to be renovated.
“If done to a tradesman like quality, these can achieve greater returns if looking to on-sell.
“While it is an increasingly popular pastime, renovators looking to on-sell a property must always keep in mind the current market conditions and be sure not to over capitalise in order to recoup the cost of the renovation,” the report stated.
A four bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-horsham-125679078" target="_blank">233 Blue Ribbons Road</a>, Horsham (above) has been listed for between $435,000 to $465,000.
Similarly a recently renovated four bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-horsham-124923710" target="_blank">32 Searle Street</a>, Horsham (below) has been listed for $257,000.

Renovation work in Horsham rising in popularity: HTW

<html><body>
The Horsham market is favourable for first home buyers with relatively affordable options ranging from $100,000 to $500,000, according to HTW’s Month in Review: March 2017. 
The valuation firm says this gives first home buyers the opportunity to enter the residential market at a price point affordable to them.
The report says that developers within the region are also providing house and land deals for first home buyers which reduces the stamp duty that they pay and they receive a $10,000 grant towards their first home.
“A portion of first home buyers within the Horsham region purchase with the intention of renovating the property,” the firms says.
“However some purchases do not take into consideration the extra money and resources required for works to be completed and therefore can’t have the full enjoyment of the property.
“First home buyers are also competing with investors within this sector especially as interest rates are low, increasing the average house price in Horsham and making it harder for some to enter the market.”
A three bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-horsham-121422438" target="_blank">3 Davidson Court</a>, Horsham (above) has been listed for $459,000.

Victoria's Horsham city has been perched at the peak of the property cycle for both houses and units for April and May, according to valuation firm Herron Todd White's latest property clock -- a simple broad brush means to suggest where property markets are and what direction prices are moving in.
<a href="/images/2016/05/11/Screen%20Shot%202016-05-11%20at%208.38.42%20AM.png" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>

Horsham’s residential real estate market continues to provide a stable investment for both owner-occupiers and investors. The urbanisation of today’s population is bringing senior members of the community to central service hubs such as Horsham and generally increasing the larger centre’s ability to attract and retain the younger generation and continuing its population growth. In turn this brings about expanding outer built up fringe areas and increased prices for inner city property located in close proximity to shops and services.

As real estate in inner city Horsham continues to appreciate, more and more buyers are looking for cheaper alternatives. In larger centres such as Ballarat or Melbourne, this would see buyers moving further out of town into the suburbs and becoming more reliant on the local neighbourhood shopping centre. In Horsham, this phenomenon is generally different and sees families moving to smaller nearby town such as Murtoa and Dimboola that are located within a 30-minute drive of Horsham but maintain schools and local shops.
House prices in these smaller towns are significantly lower than Horsham. As an example, Horsham’s current median house price sits at $290,000, while Dimboola’s median house price is a far more affordable $120,000. When weighing up size and affordability, regional towns are definitely an option. 
Property Observer looked up a few recent sales around the median prices for Dimboola and came up with these from www.realestate.com.au:

As Horsham's prices rise, buyers turn to cheaper fringe towns: HTW

<html><body>
The regional city of Horsham in Victoria has slipped from the peak of market position to the start of the decline phase, according to the latest recent Herron Todd White housing clock. 
The valuation firm has issued its latest property clock - a simple broad brush means to suggest where property markets are as at February 2016 - and what direction prices are moving in.
<a href="/images/2016/03/4/Screen%20Shot%202016-03-04%20at%2012.24.22%20PM.png" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>

The Horsham residential property market has drawn an outside gate for the start of the 2016 race and will have to work hard to get around the subdued demand and lack of market confidence to get to the fence by the end of the financial year, according to HTW.
The track is likely to be slow, especially at the top end of the market with a limited buyer pool.
Unit values are likely to remain stable due to an oversupply of stock but modern homes in the centre field ($300,000 to $400,000 owner-occupier market) are expected to run a solid race due to maintained strong demand and limited rental stock, says the report.
The volatility of the rural residential market will be closely watched throughout 2016, adds HTW.
The tail end of the field ($100,000 to $200,000) represents longer odds but maintains affordability compared to the centre field.
The median house price in Horsham at the end of 2015 was $237,000 and for units $212,250, according to RP Data.
As an illustration, Property Observer found a three-bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-horsham-121788406" target="_blank">52 Francis Street</a> on sale for $240,000 on realestate.com.au.

<div class="column">
The value of large modern brick veneer homes have been steadily increasing in value for the last six months, according to Herron Todd White.
Herron Todd White's October Month in Review said the greatest growth has come from four or five bedroom houses on an 800 to 1,200 square metre block around the Wimmera River.
The report said unit sales are limited due to the relative affordability of housing. 
"The recent growth in the upper end price bracket from $400,000 to $600,000 is beginning to impact the mid price range older housing stock from $300,000 to $400,000 and small price movements have been experienced in some sectors of this market in recent times.
"The price movement has seldom reached the lower end price bracket. 
"An example of this top end growth is the sale of a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom modern home on McPherson Street that sold in May 2014 for $450,000 and recently re-sold in June 2015 for $470,000 which displays value growth of 4.4% year on year."
