Home Prices Down Under Rise Most in Regional Spots
Australian home prices are rising most in regions away from capital cities, according to the latest Domain House Price Report.

The value of approvals for home purchases rose 17% year on year in May—which ranked as the busiest month for first-time buyer approvals in volume and value since 2011. Buyers taking their first step onto the housing ladder in Ireland benefit from looser mortgage-lending limits and a range of government subsidies. Reuters
