The areas outside of the Sydney metro area have shown a diverse
performance, with coastal markets continuing to show improvements
in buyer demand, which is pushing prices higher and encouraging
vendor confidence. Areas more synonymous with the resources
sector have seen a substantial downturn in prices and rents; however,
conditions appear to be flattening out in many of these markets as
they rebalance. Regional service centres have shown more resilient
conditions, depending on their level of economic diversity and local
drivers.
