Hotspotting

In this episode, Terry & Drew discuss the information that is used when creating the popular Hotspotting reports - specifically the Price Predictor Report.

These Australian real estate reports are quite unique in that the whole focus is not on what's happening with prices, it’s on what's happening with sales volumes.  The reason for this is because Terry believes that sales activities are a much better indicator of where markets are heading than price statistics are.

The index analyses sales in every Australian suburb or town. It finds the growth patterns - the places that will soon show price growth. It also finds markets that are going backwards – the ones to avoid.

All this is analysed and presented in a report that covers the key markets in every state and territory.

We also present the best performers in easy-to-read short features:

• the Five Star Growth Suburbs
• the National Top 50 suburbs
• the National Top 10 municipalities with multiple growth markets
• the Nation’s 50 Most Consistent Markets
• the Dirty Dozen, the National Bottom 12 markets to avoid.

• Why median price changes are a weak indicator
• How sales activity is actually a predictor of where prices are going to go
• Understand what data and reports are used
• Some investors value safety over boomtown growth.

In today's episode, Terry & Drew discuss the Top 5 Melbourne Hotspots in 2017. There was lots of interest in the earlier episode on the Top 5 Brisbane Hotspots so today we're going to get into the information in the Melbourne report.

Right now, Melbourne is the strongest capital city market in Australia because it has the best price growth and best sales activity.

Melbourne has often been second to Sydney in real estate terms but in the past 12 months, it's risen where Sydney has started to contract and it's now the number 1 city for annual increases in property prices.

• What information is drawn upon to create the Hotspot reports
• Outer-ring areas lead growth and the Melbourne inner-city surge winds down
• The 10 core categories or events that tend to create real estate hotspots
• Building approvals rising
• Yields with relation to population growth and young families
• Affordability + job nodes + infrastructure = price growth

In this episode, we discuss Terry's latest report 'Top 5 Brisbane Hotspots 2017' and delve into some of the reasons why there's a lot of interest around the country in Brisbane real estate.

There have been some pretty substantial changes in property markets around Australia at the moment. It's becoming clearer that Sydney and Melbourne are starting to wind down and everyone is asking the question "where to next"? And one of the answers to that for a lot of reasons is Brisbane in Southeast Queensland.

• Why the Brisbane market is set to rise as Sydney and Melbourne fade
• How the cost of living is a big factor
• Why the spending on infrastructure is important
• The revival in the Queensland economy
• The price of residential land in Southeast Queensland is significantly less than our southern counterparts
• What to be aware of with vacancy rates
• Why investors should looks closely at the yields.

‘Hotspots’ is actually a term that’s been used, abused and misused a lot in all sort of spheres of activity, but in the up-terms a hotspot is a place that’s going to out- perform the general marketing in terms of capital growth.

Welcome to the Hotpotting podcast hosted by Terry Ryder of Hotspotting.com.au and Drew Grosskreutz of Otium Group. Through the podcast, Terry & Drew will give advice, tools, data, strategies and support for home buyers and property investors within Australia.

Terry Ryder has been writing about real estate for a long time and the one thing that home owners and property investors alike want to know about is ‘what’s the best place to buy?’. He’s concerned about the serious issue where people who only hear media sound bytes and read headlines are being mis-informed about real estate….and making big financial decision based on this mis-information.
