Many of our investor clients come to us looking to buy in the next “hot spot”. Many others are looking for proven locations with above average median price growth.
However, even in these “safe” suburbs, buyers can go wrong. In every suburb there are properties that perform above and below the median. The trick when buying property, particularly when the purpose is for investment, is to identify the traits that mean a property will at least match the median growth rate for that area.
Local knowledge is essential. For example, corner blocks may be favoured in one suburb and shunned in another. Or buyers in one suburb can be seduced by the charm of weatherboard cottages, yet in another location they are seen as sub-standard homes.
When buying in a sellers’ market, you will find that almost every property generates some level of competition amongst buyers. When the market cools, the only properties that generate buyer competition will be those that are capable of performing at or over their suburbs median growth rate.
