HOT PERFORMERS: Unit Capital Growth Outperformed Houses
UNIT CAPITAL GROWTH OUTPERFORMED HOUSES: Latest RPData research is great news for smart investors who anticipated this trend and bought investor units: Units now outperform houses in capital growth (7.3% growth in unit values, beating 7% for houses) In the past 5 years there has been a switch to demand for units and this trend looks set to become the norm. Why?.............
NO PLACE LIKE HOME in HIGH DENSITY: In the mid 1990's, only 25% of property purchases by homebuyers were apartments. Now 35% of homebuyers are choosing units in high-density urban locales.
INVESTORS DOMINATE as First Home Buyers Hibernate
WINTER TRENDS: Open inspection numbers continue to remain strong, particularly in Sydneylinks' area of investment property sales. However, the trend that emerged at the beginning of 2010 has compounded to the point where 90% of clients I meet are now investors. First home buyers have all but disappeared, and it saddens me to think that the "Great Australian Dream" of owning your own home is almost purely a Dream.
HIGHS & LOWS: Sydney's income-to-house-price ratio is 9 times the median income. No wonder loans for owner-occupied housing are at 9-year lows! This naturally puts more people in the market for rental property.
GROWING & SLOWING: Property prices continue growing but at a slowing rate. Considering this, owners of investment properties currently leased with good returns are in a great position to sell! Increased investor finance in the last 12 months proves investors are buying up big.
