Hotspot of the Week 6 August Brisbane North

Why Brisbane North is our National Growth Star as highlighted in the latest Price Predictor Index Winter Edition 2019. 

Price Predictor Index - Winter 2019

This edition of the Price Predictor Index highlights the different market scenarios in Australia. Pre-election worries, particularly about negative gearing and capital gains tax, paused many markets across the country, and this is reflected in the data for this quarter. However it highlights the areas that have remained consistent or have grown despite these uncertainties, and the suburbs and towns identified as rising markets in this report are worthy markets indeed. Regional areas agai...

It's A Brand New Day in Real Estate

Markets are Rising Again - So It's a Perfect Time to Re-Consider Real Estate Investment - and we can tell you the best places to buy!   The deluge of negative media about "Australia's real estate market" in the first half of 2019 put many people off the idea of buying property. Many decided to sit on the fence and wait for better times.   But all that has changed. Sentiment around real estate has had a huge shift, thanks to events since the Federal Election in May.   The electi...

War on Misinformation: 1 August 2019

The latest data of prices is out and while it indicates improvements in most cities, it's very generalised and doesn't tell us anything very useful about the specific locations that are doing much better.

Hotspot of the Week: 30 July 2019

Brisbane locations feature prominently in the new edition of National Top 5 Cheapies with Prospects: City Edition.

Top 5 Cheapies with Prospects - August 2019

The Cheapies with Prospects are the Ugly Ducklings of city real estate. They’re places with strong potential for capital growth. Ugly Duckling is an odd term for something you would recommend to real estate investors. But the term is apt. The Ugly Duckling of the fairy tale was considered unappealing because those around it didn’t understand what it was. It evolved into a graceful swan. There are suburbs with similar qualities. They are places considered unattractive by those looking through...

Latest Domain price data shows growth areas

Hotspot of the Week: 23 July  Hobart and Tasmania have presented one of the nation's hottest markets for the past two years - but will the strong price growth continue?

Hotspot of the Week: Wagga Wagga 16 July 2019

Regional NSW is one of the strongest markets in Australia at the moment. Many regional centres have rising markets, in contrast to Sydney. We've just published our new edition of Top 5 Regional NSW Hotspots, which includes this week's Hotspot of the Week, Wagga Wagga.

Top 5 Regional NSW - July 19

Regional NSW Locations Continue To Rise, In Contrast To Sydney While many sectors of the Sydney market were in decline until the post-election upturn in big city fortunes, the cities and towns of Regional NSW have been delivering growth markets right across the state – both with sales activity and price trends. This is strongly evident in the price data. Most NSW Regional markets have price levels higher than a year ago – 85% of the locations in our latest quarterly survey have recorded ...

Hotspot of the Week: Charles Sturt LGA 9th July

With Adelaide stepping up as one of the steadiest markets in capital city Australia, the Charles Sturt LGA is a strong performer - many of its suburbs are delivering above-average growth.

Top 5 Adelaide Hotspots July 2019

Adelaide, renowned as a steady and consistent market, is poised to become a compelling location for strong growth. The South Australian capital is one of the busiest markets in capital city Australia and one that is forecast by several analysts to be a national leader on price growth this year and beyond. It ranks well ahead of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, as well as the recovering Perth market, in terms of the number of growth suburbs. And while sources such as CoreLogic and SQM Research...

Top 5 Melbourne Hotspots July 2019

You could think it would be difficult producing a Top 5 Melbourne Hotspots report in the current market.   However, in our winter survey of Melbourne's metropolitan area we found that 44% of 435 house and unit markets have median prices higher than a year ago.     The current situation with the Melbourne market reminds us that real estate investment requires a long-term view.    For much of the past five years it’s been easy to buy and enjoy short-term capital growth but those ...

Hotspot of the Week - Moreland LGA

The latest price data shows that the overall decline in Melbourne house prices has halted, with June showing the first rise since 2017. Our timely new edition of Top 5 Melbourne Hotspots focuses on areas like the Moreland LGA.

Your once-a-month opportunity to ask Hotspotting's Terry Ryder your most burning questions about housing markets across Australia. Recorded - 12 June 2019

National Top 10 Regional Hotspots

While mainstream media focuses on the decline in prices in Sydney and Melbourne, the untold story is the high number of thriving property markets in the nation’s regional areas. The location-by-location analysis conducted every quarter by Hotspotting shows that markets with rising prices are the rule, not the exception, in Regional Australia. Apart from the mini-boom that continues in Hobart, and the rise in prices in some sectors in Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra, all of the significan...

Hotspot of the Week: 11 June

Many of the growth markets in Australia right now are found outside the capital cities: Bendigo in Victoria is one of the the affordable, thriving regional markets.

War on Misinformation

Media, which previously went overboard in proclaiming a national downturn, is now losing the plot which an over-reaction to the positive impacts from recent events, such as the election result.

Hotspot of the Week: 28 May 2019

This week we published the latest edition of our most popular report, the National Top 10 Best Buys - tonight I feature one of the Top 10 locations from the report.

The Price Predictor Index - Autumn 2019

Despite media rhetoric, there are many growth markets across the Australian property scene. There are in fact more jurisdictions with prices rising than those with falling prices, and in regional areas rising prices are the norm rather than the exception.

Positive Changes To Real Estate Climate

Where to go to get capital growth with Julian Fadini of Prpty360

In this week's Hotspot of the week Terry spoke with Julian Fadini of Prpty360 about the locations that savvy investors should be looking at now it's back to usual business after the election.

Post Election - The Road Ahead

The road ahead for investors now looks much smoother... Now the uncertainty of the election is over and the spectre of negative gearing changes has vanished, property investors can take a deep breathe and get back to the business of investing.

Hotspot of the Week: Gympie

Most markets rise or fall depending on local economic events, but sometimes local factors are less important than those in the big centre nearby. The regional QLD city of Gympie is an excellent example. It not only a substantial small city in it's own right, but it is benefiting from it's proximity to the Sunshine Coast, which is one of the strongest evolution economies in Australia right now.

Election Special - Policies show politicians' lack of understanding

The inability of politicians to think matters through to likely conclusions is evident in the various policies that impact on the housing industry. The biggest recurring problem for real estate is politicians who don’t understand the industry. Which is pretty much all of them, on both sides of politics. They also display a chronic inability to think through the consequences of their policies designed to impact housing markets. This sad truth is evident in the policies from both the major...

Signs of Improvement

Financial writer and ABC News commentator Alan Kohler says there’s “a decent chance” that the housing market has bottomed already. “If not already, then soon,” he says. Writing in The Australian, Kohler says: “That’s because auction clearance rates have been rising strongly for a few weeks and housing finance bounced in February. With affordability having improved, first-home buyers are back. And supply is tightening.” There are strong signs that housing affordability for new mortgage bor...

Terry Ryder's War on Misinformation: 4 May 2019

Property taxes have hit record levels - and it's the main reason we have a housing affordability issue in Australia. Massive taxes, fees and charges imposed on the building industry inflate the cost of new dwellings - costs that rise regularly thanks to new imposts by politicians.

Will the election change anything?

Full replay from today's webinar with Terry Ryder from Hotspotting and Kate Hill Advisable.  People love an excuse to delay big decisions – and a Federal Election is the perfect rationale for procrastination. The uncertainty created by a possible change of government can be a killer of real estate activity. But it’s business as usual for well-researched investors with clear thought processes. They know that the fundamentals of real estate investment won’t change and that whatever alterat...

Analysis of National Price Data

Residents of cities like Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Brisbane, as well as large chunks of regional Australia, must shake their heads when major media tells them that their home values are crashing. The general theme in major media, including the big city newspapers and ABC TV, is that prices are falling across Australia. Our daily research encounters articles every day making these sweeping statements. The problem is that most major media emanates from Sydney & Melbourne. Those cities...

What's Up and What's Down Opportunities You May Be Missing

Media commentary leaves most property observers thoroughly confused about what is really happening at the ground level with Sydney real estate. Have we got further to fall? Is the market leveling out and how reliable are the current figures?   To provide cut-through about where the market is heading and unique opportunities in this market, Terry Ryder was joined by Rich Harvey, CEO and Founder, propertybuyer.com.au who shared their insights and experience.   This is the audio version...

40% of Perth Suburbs Are Rising

The Perth market is the strongest it’s been since it lapsed into downturn five years ago. Vacancies are down, rents are rising, sales are up and 40% of suburbs have median prices higher than a year ago. Recovery is undoubtedly under way, even if it's not showing up in the generalised price data published by media. Our Autumn survey of sales activity for the Price Predictor Index has given a positive rating (rising, plateau or consistency) to 168 suburbs in the Perth metro area. The number ...

War on Misinformation - 18th April

Journalists have an unhappy knack of taking a positive and turning it into a negative. And the negative gearing issue continues to prompt debate, with misinformation to the fore.

Brisbane Market Out-Performs

The Brisbane market has an underlying strength and it continues to show gradual improvement. It is poised to deliver on the potential growth shown by advances in the economy, population trends and infrastructure spending. In my latest survey of sales activity for the Price Predictor Index, the number of suburbs with growing demand has risen from 19 to 29 to 33 in previous quarters, to 44 in the most recent, led by two stand-out precincts: the Moreton Bay Region and Brisbane - North, which ...

Affordability Improves In Most Cities

Australians hoping to buy their first home will be buoyed by a new report which has found the average time needed to save a deposit has fallen over the past 12 months in major capital cities. Domain analysed entry-level house prices in the cities' most affordable areas and estimated the time required to save a 20% deposit, drawing on average wage data from the ABS. The result is welcome news for first-home buyers, according to Domain senior research analyst Nicola Powell. Powell says "It...
