Historically real estate has always been a good place to put your cash. It\u2019s an asset you can feel and touch \u2013 unlike stocks or shares \u2013 which makes investors feel safe. And, in the right place and time, property can grow in value while you sleep, meaning as an investor you don\u2019t have to do much to increase your personal wealth.<\/span><\/p>\n But as investors, how can we better predict the next hot spots for real estate investment so we can get in at the right price? How do we know the best places to buy that are guaranteed to grow in capital value, return regular rent increases and ensure future personal wealth?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ANZ bank recently adjusted its \u201cpessimistic\u201d forecast of a 10 per cent drop in capital house prices, to a more positive outlook, predicting a rise of 12 per cent in Perth, 9.5 in Brisbane and 9.4 for Hobart<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s all good news. The only caveat is that smart investors got into the Brisbane and Hobart markets years ago when prices were low and started to rise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Property investors who are able to better predict how a market is going to rise or fall are paying close attention. They\u2019re on the ground watching what properties are selling for, keeping track of reserves vs sale price and going to auctions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In simple terms, they know the market because they\u2019re investing some time and energy looking at it. And if they\u2019re new to investing and they\u2019re smart enough to know what they don\u2019t know, they\u2019re asking experts, like the team at TRC-Gorod, to help them on their journey.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Events such as COVID-19 understandably rattle our cages and scare people off spending or investing. People like stability. But the truth is, COVID-19 or not, real estate markets are ever-changing and property values go up, and down, then back up again, all the time. That\u2019s the reality of property and why we say it\u2019s a long game, not a quick fix.<\/span><\/p>\n Being able to see past the scary headlines and see future opportunity, where others just see risk, is a great skill to have as an investor.<\/span><\/p>\n Currently, Melbourne property prices might be feeling the pinch. The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported a mass exodus of Melburnians<\/a> in the three months to the end of June 2020, with people fleeing the city and prolonged COVID-19 lockdown periods, for regional areas with fewer restrictions. Property prices in the metro area dropped, as did rents, and vacancy rates for rental properties increased.<\/span><\/p>\n With all that doom and gloom you could be forgiven for avoiding Melbourne like the plague.<\/span><\/p>\n But all projections show that the city will bounce back and long-term effects will be slim to none. Add into that the fact that the Victorian government has recently announced billions of dollars of investment into infrastructure, which will grow the state\u2019s economy, create jobs and drive-up property prices. Suddenly investing in Melbourne looks like the smart thing to do.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It can be hard to make absolute predictions about where to buy property, but there are some golden rules that never fail us.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Need help in predicting where to invest in property?<\/span><\/p>\n Sign up for one of our <\/span>free information and education events<\/b><\/a>, where you\u2019ll be equipped with the tools, resources and support to thrive, and not fall behind on your path to financial freedom \u2013 whatever that may look like for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBE AN ACTIVE, ENGAGED INVESTOR<\/b><\/h3>\n
