The Real Estate Market Is Important

Furthermore, lack of affordable housing has become an issue for additional reasons. 50,000 new homes were built since 1981 but only 8000 were local authority housing, and only 2000 were low income houses. This was worsened by the implementation of the ‘right to buy’ scheme, creating a surge in house prices (a 1 bedroom apartment now costs around £500,000). It could be suggested that this issue counteracts successes of the scheme, as issues still exist including 3500 homeless people in the area and the housing prices are significantly above the UK average, so they have not achieved their aim to ‘make housing affordable to all.’ However, I believe that the Docklands has been a successful example of regeneration as it is now such a significant part of the capital, with it being London’s finance capital providing not only important economic contributions, but also employment to many people in the skilled sector.

Distinctive residential areas occur through housing types, 87% of houses on Jersey street are terraced houses, this is due to the position of Jersey Street on the bid rent curve model. Of the three roads we are analysing, Jersey Street is the closest to the CBD. Because of this the competition for land and space is high, leading to high land values.

Real estate markets are closely related to macroeconomics, as was demonstrated by the global financial crisis of the late 2000s. The crisis originated in the real estate market when mortgage interest rates were low. The demand for real estate increased and banks offered risky subprime mortgages (Lopus, 2013). The financial crisis led to a debate across scholars on the macroeconomic factors that affected the development of the price bubble in real estate markets. On the one hand, irrational investors may determine the changes in real estate markets as suggested by Brunnermeier and Julliard (2008) and Case and Shiller (2003). On the other hand, Goodman and Thibodeau (2008) argued that fundamental macroeconomic factors determine the developments in real estate markets to the greatest extent. This research addresses this debate and explores the effects of macroeconomic environment on the real estate prices in the UK. The focus of the study is made on the determinants of regional real estate prices in the country.

Within the property industry, the ever changing nature of the real estate market is affecting supply and demand for real estate. As a result, a key issue stemming from reducing demand is increasing office vacancy in Brisbane’s central business district which reached a high of 15.6% in January 2015, according to the Property Council of Australia (2015). Current literature suggests that the lack of demand can be attributed to negative net absorption by the government and resources sectors, office over supply, low business confidence and high unemployment rates (Property Council of Australia 2015). This is making office space difficult to lease, increasing financial stress on property owners and changing how the office investment
