Welcome to this month’s REIP Pulse.
April 2021 saw Australian house values lift by 1.8% according to CoreLogic’s national home value index, with the monthly pace of capital gains easing from a 32-year high in March (2.8%).
CoreLogic also reported that 2,876 homes were taken to auction across the combined capital cities in the week ending 2 May 2021. Of the 2,425 results collected so far, 80.4 per cent returned successful clearances.
Meanwhile, the REIP Property Portal had a record number of new Listings posted in March and April.
In this month’s Market Insights Tim Lawless and I discuss what we are seeing across each of the states in the Rentals and Sales markets, and if the pace of growth will slow anytime soon.

RISE conference 5.5.21
Congratulations to the Rise team who put on an outstanding conference in Melbourne this week.
The content was thought-provoking, speakers were vulnerable and authentic and it was amazing to simply re-connect face to face.
Layne Beachley’s keynote on winning from a place of love rather than fear resonated with everyone. Susan Alberti’s story of loss and triumph and her unbending goal for a women’s AFL team was inspirational. The day ended with Ben Crowe speaking on the advantage of authenticity and vulnerability and being the human you want to be.
Chris Hanley launched the Real Care App – please ensure that your team have access to this.
Mental health and wellbeing is critical and this is an app that has been created by the industry, for the industry. Thanks again to the Rise team.
