Investors Going Seaside

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Until now, the highly sought after coastal real estate in Australia has been a bit too pricey to attract several property investors; however, that has all changed. These days, the price on coastal property is quite inviting to many real estate investors.

The Real Estate Institute of Australia, or REIA as it is often called, claim that the property along the eastern seaboard of the country is currently a great place to invest. According to the president of REIA, David Airey, the property along the sea has always been something that people desired, and now according to the data, investors are now trickling back into the market. He also said that even though investment levels are not quite where they were two years ago, but the market is definitely seeing significant movement.

Lower Prices Attracting Investors

Airey verified that vendors’ price expectations have dropped significantly, with more and more sellers willing to sell their properties at a greatly reduced price. There are property websites on the Internet where you can find over two hundred listings for properties just in The Entrance, which is an extremely prominent area north of the beautiful Sydney. You will also find a couple hundred properties for sale on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, in magnificent Caloundra. Many of these properties are listed as “owner says make offer”.

More Buyer Confidence

Over the past few months, there has been a significant increase in buyer confidence. Both investors and sellers have a solid understanding of the financial crisis affecting the world, as well as the volatility that is still present on the share market. However, more and more investors are getting their bankbooks out and investing wisely in the property market.

One agent in the area of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, who claims to have been selling in that area for almost a decade, said that the prices in the region had fallen by about twenty percent in the past year. Lower interest rates are also contributing to the increase in buyer confidence, leaving several in the property market anticipating great success.

Things To Take Notice Of When Looking For A New Property Part 2

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Here we will continue to look at the elements to consider when looking for a new property in Australia.

  • Are there any restrictions? Some houses will have pre-existing covenants, conditions and restrictions.
  • Where do you park? If you are buying a single family home does it have a garage? Where will you be parking your car if a garage is not part of the house. For multifamily homes, townhouses and condominiums it is important to know if parking is included.
  • Does it have air? How will you stay cool in the warm months?
  • What sort of heat does it use? Is there a fireplace or central heat? Does the home have a woodstove? Knowing how the home is heated is very important.

Some Other Things To Consider

In addition to the preceding items you may also want to consider if the property that you are interested in has any environmentally friendly features such as solar panels. Also find out if the carpet is new or older and see if the outside of the home looks good. Does it need a new coat of paint? Does it need some new siding?

You will also want to look at the property itself and where the home sits. Do you want a house on a corner lot? Would you rather have more privacy or a shorter driveway? You will also want to consider what type of a view you want. Do you want to be able to see the ocean, or is having a city light view important to you? Some people look for houses on a quiet street while others want to be right in the middle of the action. These are all important factors to consider when you are looking for a new home.
