The regions outside of Adelaide can broadly be described as being
lifestyle, agriculture or resource driven markets. The lifestyle markets
are seeing some improvement in local housing conditions as sea
changers and holiday home buyers become more active in the market.
Agricultural areas are generally dependent on weather conditions;
however, the wine regions are also benefitting from an increase in
lifestyle demand.
Resource driven markets continue to be challenged by low commodity
prices and a lack of capital expenditure, which is keeping housing
market conditions relatively subdued in these areas.
