Regional NSW provides a stark contrast to Sydney

March Q & A

Hotspot of the Week: Moreton Bay Region

Most people gain perceptions about the property market by tuning into mainstream media: newspapers, magazines, television and radio. Their decisions are driven by headlines and sound bytes. Investors who allow themselves to be swayed by a dishonest media are missing opportunities that abound in growth markets, as well as the potential to buy well in markets that are currently down.

Introducing The Property Seminar With Wheels

Adelaide right now is a strong value-for-money proposition, with one of the steadiest and most consistent markets in capital city Australia, underpinned by an economy that the experts have recognized as one of the nation’s best. But investors generally refuse to consider it. Adelaide flies under the radar screen, with many people clinging to the outdated notion that Adelaide and SA is a low-growth sort of place. But the experts know better.

Australia continues to under-rate the Adelaide property market, however it is one of Australia’s most consistent markets, a status it has maintained over the past 12 months. It also remains the busiest market in capital city Australia and one that is forecast by several analysts to be a national leader on price growth. Adelaide has a broad geographical spread of LGAs with good numbers of growth markets. This means there is growth momentum right across the metropolitan area.

Terry Ryder's War on Misinformation: 21 Feb 2019

Hotspot of the Week 20 Feb 19 - Canberra

February edition of The Ryder Report

The Canberra market has strengthened and now has more growth markets than at any time since we began our quarterly surveys four years ago. The norm now in Canberra is suburbs where median prices have grown by more than 5% in the past 12 months, while only a handful have falling prices. It is undoubtedly one of the steadiest markets in the nation. Indeed, we regard Canberra as the strongest real estate economy in capital city Australia.

Markets in Regional NSW continue to head in the opposite direction to Sydney. While the Sydney market is showing increasing signs of decline, the cities and towns of Regional NSW are delivering growth markets right across the state. This is particularly evident in the price data. Our recent analysis for the Price Predictor Index Summer 2019 edition, has revealed 150 locations where median prices have grown 5% or more in the past year, 65 which have increased more than 10%.
