Australia since the late 1990’s has seen a significant increase in the number of visitors to the country, whether for studies, work or to live in the country on a more permanent basis and many investors are taking advantage of realistic property prices.
Australia is a very attractive investment destination for both nationals and over sea buyers, due to the minimal, yet diverse population, fantastic beaches and stunning rainforests.
Thanks to the wave of migration from countries like Canada and New Zealand, Australia has shown to be a good investment and is also proud to have one of the strongest economies which has remained stable throughout the global economic crisis.
The Government has also made purchasing real estate in Australia easy for foreigners and although permission must be obtained by the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) prior to purchasing, once this has been received the purchase process is relatively straight forward.
Properties in key cities such as Melbourne, Perth and Sydney are prime and more expensive than outer suburbs, however, there is still a good investment to be made. Moving out of towns, suburb by suburb, will see prices decrease and many renovation properties are being snapped up in these areas by experienced investors.
Properties in regions like Canberra and the Gold Coast always carry a higher price tag as they are near to both business and commercial districts; however, although a substantial deposit will be required, they are still worth investing in. Real estate located to public commute gateways are also popular.
Properties in more rural areas have also seen a recent increase in investors. This is mainly due to the Australian Government upgrading the whole transportation system throughout Australia making more rural areas more accessible to major cities and towns. Real estate in rural areas also come with a much lower price tag.
Properties involved in the tourism trade are also in demand as more and more people come to the country every year. Real estate close to coastal areas and in major towns associated with the tourism trade will almost always see a huge return on your investment whilst also earning you a healthy rental income.
With new Government grants for first time buyers, low interest rates and realistic, affordable property prices, beautiful beaches, warm climate and fantastic scenery, Australia has got to be your next investment destination.
