Why is it important?

Our findings vividly show the migration hypothesis prevails as priced-out households in Greater Sydney move to the Illawarra region due to house price and growth differentials. Finally, the responsiveness of Greater Sydney to variations in market fundamentals further confirms the migration diffusion pattern between the cities in the Illawarra region and Greater Sydney.

Perspectives

These findings have significant implications for policymakers seeking to address imbalances between centers and growth areas.
