Newsletter
Welcome to our April 2009, 1st Quarter Newsletter.
Are you ready for some Good News? Here are some hard facts which translate to good news for investors and owner-occupiers alike. Now is a great time to buy residential property if you have the ability to do so. Interest rates are at an all time record low and may fall another quarter of one percent. Plus
The Gold Coast residential vacancy rate is around 1.25% and falling. Rents which grew by an average of 14% during 2008 look likely to continue to grow around 10% in 2009. Also the “new” residential market is undersupplied, stock is tight, and availability of new stock in 2009 will decline. Demand will become strong, continue to grow and put upward pressure on prices.
Buying off the plan is appealing to many investors considering the low interest rates and a longer time period in which to settle their property. New properties under $750,000 are proving popular and also some selected luxury property over the $1.5 million.
The smart investor money is moving into the market now and buying well priced, well located property offering strong returns with high capital growth potential. Regrettably, many investors will wait too long before they purchase and end up buying with the masses. Join the smart money now and assure yourself a positive outcome.
