One of the biggest drivers of property price rises right now is \u2026 drumroll \u2026 population growth,\u00a0according to PropTrack<\/a>.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a look at the cities more people are expected to call home.<\/p>\n During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Australians were flocking to regional areas.<\/p>\n The population of\u00a0regional Australia grew by 70,900 people<\/a>\u00a0during 2020-21 \u2013 the first time in over 40 years that the regions outpaced capital cities.<\/p>\n However, the COVID-inspired rush to the regions is reportedly over.<\/p>\n Despite the new work-from-home trend, the reopening of borders is seeing a return to urban living.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0property exchange platform PEXA<\/a>, this will see two-thirds of Australia\u2019s population growth concentrated in four cities over the next two decades.<\/p>\n PEXA is predicting population growth of 7.4 million between now and 2041.<\/p>\n That\u2019s a lot of people looking for a place to live.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not just about net migration to Australia, either.<\/p>\n Regional dwellers, especially younger people, are expected to head to urban areas, attracted by the availability of study and work opportunities.<\/p>\n The upshot is that two million new homes will be required over the next 18 years, and 67% of population growth will be concentrated in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.<\/p>\n The stats are astonishing.<\/p>\n PEXA says the four hotspot cities require vast numbers of new homes:<\/p>\n \u2013 723,000 in Melbourne (that\u2019s 40,000 new homes per year, or 772 per week); Adelaide meanwhile is predicted to need at least another\u00a0141,000 dwellings<\/a>\u00a0between now and 2046.<\/p>\n For starters, increased demand on this scale is expected to continue to push up property prices unless supply can increase at a similar pace.<\/p>\n Despite higher interest rates, already we have seen values rise in all of these four cities over the past 12 months.<\/p>\nNo matter whether you\u2019re in the market for a home or an investment property, it makes financial sense to buy in an area where values are tipped to rise. But where to look? Today we\u2019ll unveil the Australian cities where population growth is tipped to turbo-charge the property market.<\/strong><\/p>\n
