Australians lose money rather if they sell an apartment in a large city, according to new data.
Corelogic's head of research Eliza Owen said that units in Melbourne in the city center and parts of West Sydney were particularly risky investments.
“The off-the-plan apartment boom clearly has a lasting losses for sellers in Sydney and Melbourne,” she said.
In the middle of Melbourne, 44 percent of the properties sold in the quarter of December loss sold, with suppliers usually losing $ 65,500 in high -rise suburbs with a 3000 zip code.
This was in an area where suppliers have had the unit for 10 years.
Mrs Owen said that the economic weakness in Melbourne has also weighed on prices since the Pandemic Lockdowns.
“The high incidence of loss among resellers of Melbourne in such a short hold period reflects other indicators of financial stress in this market, such as weaker economic results for the city since the plandemic, raised lists of volumes and weaker conditions for real estate market wider,” she said.
Other inner boards of Melbourne were also bad for investors, where 24.9 percent of sellers loss in the Port Phillip Council area that covers Port Melbourne and ST Kolda, usually $ 42,450 for going $ 42,450, Corelogic's Pain and Gain Report revealed.

In the nearby Local Government Area, with Richmond and Carlton North, 23.1 percent of the sellers deteriorated and usually lost $ 41,750.
In parts of Sydney, almost a quarter of the sellers made a loss in areas with more high -rise apartment towers.
In Parramatta, in the west of the city, 24.2 percent of sellers lost money, usually goodbye to $ 45,000, even after eight years of home ownership.
On the other side of the River Parramatta in Ryde, 22.7 percent of the sellers have made a loss, usually with $ 60,000.
In Strathfield, in the inner west of Sydney, 23.2 percent of the sellers have made a loss, usually $ 70,000 less than what they paid after eight years.
Corelogic said that sellers would most likely do badly in areas where in the years 2010 there was a flurry of construction activity.
“Capital growth in these markets is generally weighed by high levels of unity development that was a hangover from a short, strong period of investor activity to the early until mid-2010, which was characterized by many off-the-plan apartments,” said it.
“Because of the end of the years 2010, the demand of investors was greatly reduced in the midst of temporary macro-benefit policy.”

Mrs Owen said that stricter lending rules in the late years 2010 had also damaged the demand for investors for units, after an increase in the activity of apartments.
“This meant an increased supply of unity, while the demand in the investor market was cut off by sharpening the credit conditions at the end of the years 2010,” she said.
“The result has been a much stronger growth in houses in the past decade than units.”
Darwin was by far the worst performing capital city market in general, with 31.4 percent of the houses sold for loss, which usually lost $ 72,000, even after 10 years of property.
These unfortunate sellers are clearly the exception with 94.8 percent of sellers who make national profits in the quarter of December, with a capital gain of $ 306,000.
Houses are more likely than units to rise in value, with only three percent selling with loss, compared to 10.1 percent for units in the quarter of December.
