A vast majority of Australians expect house prices to increase over the next 12 months, the results of a survey has shown.
The Westpac - Melbourne Institute consumer sentiment survey for January showed that 84% of respondents expect prices to increase over the next year, with 21% expecting gains of over 10%. This compares with 74% respondents expecting house price gains in October, 53% in July and 33% in May.
Westpac senior economist Matthew Hassan noted that remarkably, just 3% of respondents now expect prices to fall. This compares to a third of respondents expecting falls in the May 2009 survey.
Hassan said that the spread of responses in January points to an average expected price rise of 5.4% over the next 12 months. This compares to average expected rises of 3.9% in October, 0.8% in July and no change in May.
