Reasons to Invest in Australian Property

There are many reasons to invest in Australia including:
  • Economic Growth and Stability:  Australia has a strong economy and a per capita GDP consistent with that of the four dominant West European economies.  It boasts significant government and private capital investment and low unemployment.

  • Steady Capital Growth: The Australian property market is a secure long term investment.  Historically, capital growth in major Australian cities averages 10 per cent per annum.  Over the past decade dwelling prices have increased 110 per cent.

  • Investment Structure: The transparency of investment structures, legislation and choice has resulted in   Australia having the highest rate of investors in the developed world.

  • Stable Interest Rates: Australia offers a stable interest rate environment, for example (as at January 2006 standard variable interest rates were at 7.24 per cent and fixed rates were at 6.67 per cent per annum (source: HSBC Australia).

  • Exchange Rates:  Australia’s external rate of exchange with major currencies (including USD, NZD, GBP, EURO, and YEN) has been and is expected to remain stable.

  • Population Growth: A growing population, declining household sizes and rising incomes will contribute to continued growth in the Australian rental market, as demand for dwellings continues to out pace supply.

  • Steady Rental Incomes:  Australian rental occupancy rates are traditionally high at over 95 per cent.  Rental vacancies are currently at their lowest levels since the late 1980’s.

  • Supply:  A wide variety of stock is available in five major cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide and small provincial centres in each State.
