Some time ago I looked here at the “bid rent curve” in Australia and why house prices continue to rise fastest in suburbs close to Australia’s major city centres. The Reserve Bank carried out its own detailed research into house prices to understand why this happens and why it has continued to happen over the past 30 years. Their…
With shows such as ‘The Block’ and ‘House Rules’ inspiring a wave of renovators, many property investors have considered whether they too should do some renovation work to their investment property. Though investors know completing a renovation will add value to their property and possibly even increase the weekly rental value, they are often unaware…
Australia holds 23 million permanent residents, of which 17 million were born in Australia & about a quarter or six million-odd are migrants. Last year, Australia’s population grew by 365,000 new residents, of which 213,000 came from overseas. Nearly 60% of our annual population growth comes from other countries these days. There are some interesting…

If you cornered me and asked me “out of all the factors that influence property prices – what is the number 1 driver of capital growth” – I’d have to say affordability. But don’t get me wrong – it’s probably not what you think! Unlike many others I don’t look for affordable properties. I look…
What are the biggest concerns of the affluent? A report from Spectrem Group and Vanguard offered some interesting insights into today’s affluent investors in the USA. When asked about their main concerns their answers may at first seem surprising: The top personal concerns of millionaires revolve around health and financial positioning. The health of their spouse is the top concern, followed…
As a property investment strategist I have seen, and yes committed, my fair share of property investment faux pas. But what I find interesting is that people often mistake risks that can be mitigated for, as investment blunders. When in fact, the blunders are generally the things that happen when you fail to properly mitigate risk,…
The number of Australian residential property listings was steady in February, though Sydney reported a jump in listings as more vendors placed their houses on the market, looking to make a sale after the summer beak, while some buyers backed away due to the high prices. Nationally, the number of unsold properties reached 351,843 in…
