Spatial-temporal dynamics of housing bubbles in Greater Sydney
Housing prices in Greater Sydney have risen sharply over the past two decades, raising concerns about speculative overvaluation and spatially uneven housing bubble formation. While prior research has examined housing bubbles at aggregated city scales, limited attention has been given to their spatial-temporal dynamics across nested submarkets. This study develops a macro–micro framework to analyse housing bubble formation across SA4 (regional) an…
Market fundamentals and local factors in the housing supply markets
Similar to other markets, the housing market has a supply side. As previous studies focused on the demand side of the market, this study departs from this known literature by examining the local and broader influences of the housing supply markets across metropolitan cities. Theoretically anchored in DiPasquale and Wheaton’s (1994) housing stock flow model, I adopt the Poisson regression and seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) to examine housing…
Housing affordability in the renewable energy transition
This study investigates the factors influencing household solar panel uptake in the Sydney metropolitan area from 2013 to 2024, using a panel dataset and postcode-level solar installation data. Employing fixed effects panel regression, along with Poisson and negative binomial models for installation counts and Tobit and ordinary least squares models for system capacity, we find that market factors—such as solar system costs and electricity prices…
Exploring the nexus between entry affordability and rent affordability in the private rental market of greater Melbourne
Recognising the discrepancies in the features of dwelling types, we adopted a submarket model using quarterly panel data for 31 local government areas (LGAs) of Greater Melbourne, spanning March 2000 to December 2021, and documented the following findings. First, challenging entry affordability is causing a deterioration of rent affordability in the private rental housing market. As entry to the market has become a difficult venture for prospecti…
Residential segregation of Chinese minority groups in Greater Sydney
Over the years, migration to the major cities of advanced economies has culminated in residential segregation for minority groups. These segregated communities often have differing driving forces and demographic characteristics. Greater Sydney, for instance, has been home to waves of immigrants, particularly from China, making the Chinese the third-largest immigrant group in Australia as of 2021. This resulted in the formation of Chinese enclaves…
Cognitive limits of perceived flood risk on residential property values
Examining cognitive limits in flood risk perception for residential property values, we analyse the Richmond housing market in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Using micro-level home sales data, our study reveals that the market has integrated long-term flood risk into property values. A notable 10.8% price discount is observed for properties within 1-100 Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood zone, 4.4% for those in an AEP 500 zone, w…
Entry affordability of employment types
With the prevailing uncertainties in the labour market, existing literature has not adequately covered the link between employment contracts of part-time and full-time employees with entry to the housing market. We examine the current entry affordability of these income earners for strata and non-strata property types using data from 2004 to 2021 and forecasted this index for the period 2022Q1 to 2031Q4 for each of the metropolis of three cities …
Exploring the spatialisation of the performance of residential Reits investment and direct investment in the housing market
Despite numerous studies about the housing sector, the connection between the performance of residential real estate investment trusts (REITs) investment and direct investment in the housing market is still under-researched. To help fill this gap, we used quarterly data of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) residential REITs index and direct housing returns of Australia and its major cities, spanning March 1983 to June 2021, and adopted a s…
The impact of negative gearing on the investment decisions of housing investors
To date, no empirical study has examined the impact of negative gearing and other factors on residential investors’ decisions using quantitative analysis. We applied a structural vector autoregression framework to trace the response of residential investors in Greater Sydney to shocks in its key drivers over the period 1991–2018. We discovered a residential investors’ profile in which negative gearing is being used to cushion any net rental loss …
The determinants of homeownership affordability in Greater Sydney
Recognising the existence of socio-economic and demographic disparities across metropolitan cities such as Greater Sydney, this study gauges the determinants of homeownership affordability in the different regions of Greater Sydney using local government area (LGA) data over 1991–2016 with a system generalised method of moments (GMM) and a panel error correction model (ECM). The results of the study showed that the determinants of homeownership a…

Spatial connectivity and house price diffusion
Housing price bubbles in Greater Sydney
Recognising the rapid increase in housing prices and the presence of socio-economic and demographic disparities that often characterise a metropolitan city, we adopted a sub-city approach and deployed an array of methods to detect bubbles in the different regions of Greater Sydney – western, inner-west, southern, eastern and northern – over 1991 to 2016, using Westerlund error correction-based panel cointegration, backward supremum augmented Dick…
House price diffusion of housing submarkets in Greater Sydney
Despite numerous studies investigating house price diffusion between regional cities, few have considered a spillover effect among housing submarkets within a metropolitan city. This study expands upon the limited literature to examine house price diffusion of housing submarkets (namely, low-priced and high-priced submarkets) in Greater Sydney, one of the most diverse housing markets in Australia, using convergence tests, cointegration techniques…
The differential geography of housing affordability in Sydney
Despite extensive studies being devoted to housing affordability in Australia, few have investigated housing affordability at a disaggregated level. This is in spite of the fact that there are existing socio-economic and demographic disparities across different regions of a city. This study aims to fill this gap by examining housing affordability in Sydney, a city that is characterised by diverse demographic and socio-economic mix, from a sub-cit…
