Why buy an investment property in growing markets?

Simple - if your investment is growing in value from Day 1, you maximise your returns and minimise your downside risk.

Outstanding growth

Real estate is a commodity. Everyone has to live somewhere. As such, the two elements that drive the prices of real estate are demand and supply. If demand exceeds supply, prices will rise. If supply exceeds demand, prices will be steady or fall, depending on the degree of the shortage.

Increasing demand for real estate is driven by two elements:

1. Population growth; and
2. Economic growth.

Major capital cities in Australia offer the most consistent combination of both the above elements, and as such are the most stable and predictable real estate markets for first time investors.

Property investors need two things:

1. A good rental market, so there are good tenants prepared who will pay healthy rent; and
2. Good capital growth, so your investment property continues to grow in value.

Australia's growth markets offer both the above market conditions, and afford our clients the most consistent performance of their property investment.

But choose carefully

Just because an investment property is in a growth market does not automatically mean it is a good investment!

There are many other factors to consider such as:

1. Proximity to schools, shops, etc.;
2. Likely employment opportunities;
3. Transport - road, rail, bus;
4. Land size and zoning; and
5. Construction of the dwelling, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.

OzInvest handpick investment properties for their 'liveability'. That is, we seek out properties for our investors that will be highly attractive to renters, and highly attractive to future buyers.
