For several decades Australia has consistently offered itself as a favourite holiday and relocation destination to people from all over the world due to its great quality of life and genuine value for money.
This is still true today, but more than ever we are seeing property investors making the most of what the Australian market has to offer, the growth in tourism, is but one factor. The real investment opportunity is in the residential property sector, where excellent rental yields driven by high demands due to a shortfall in housing, good long-term capital growth expectations and affordable mortgages, make the Australian housing sector a real investment hot spot.
Carefully selected investment property in Australia offers great potential to European buyers. With a well established and growing tourist industry, considerable Government investment into infrastructure and increased economic activity in the major cities from foreign investors, numerous real estate investments are providing excellent opportunities.
Why Invest in Australia?
Despite a slowing economy, many regions of Australia are still achieving significant growth and returns in residential real estate. Recent interest rate drops and an increase in the demand for rental properties, coupled with significant population growth has presented a unique opportunity for investors.
Economic Factors
- Consistent capital growth in the residential housing market for over 100 years
- Recent changes in Federal and State laws have created foreign investor friendly environment.
- The lending policies of major banks mean rapid and simple engagement for foreign investors.
- Due to a chronic housing shortage many Australians are increasingly seeking rental accommodation, making this a healthy growth area for investors
- High growth rate, superior to that in most OECD countries, including the UK and the US.
- Huge tourism growth. According to the Australian Forecasting Committee, some 10,000 extra hotel rooms will be required in resort areas by 2014.
- Population growth and rising incomes ensure the demand for housing outpaces current supply, causing prices to rise.
- Record low interest rates and record high rental returns
