With markets rising – fast – right across Australia, it feels like you could buy anywhere and achieve capital growth.

And that may be true – in the short term.

But sensible investors will be thinking beyond the current frenzy in markets nationwide.

They will be taking a long-term view.

And that means buying in locations that have identifiable drivers of price growth beyond the current nationwide property boom.

Ultimately, I believe some investors will be disappointed in the long-term performance of their investments, because they haven’t considered their choice of location with sufficient care.

We have just published our new edition of our most popular report, the National Top 10 Best Buys.

In making my choices for the 10 special locations included in this report, I have thought about the factors that will drive capital growth in the long term.

And I have sought to target places that are early in the growth cycle.

That is why some of the nation’s most high-profile markets are NOT included.

Because they have already had, perhaps, three years of strong price growth.

I want the highlight the places that have the potential to do that, but are just getting started on a longer-term growth path.

So grab a copy of our new National Top 10 Best Buys report and find out where to buy for growth is sustainable, beyond the current frenzy.

Being constantly in and out of lockdown in some capital cities has created significant disruption to the property market and the economy. Yet we are in the middle of a real estate boom.

COVID-19 has been the catalyst, driver and accelerator of many trends in the real estate market.

In this live webinar multi-award-winning Buyers’ Agent Rich Harvey, CEO of Propertybuyer and respected researcher and commentator Terry Ryder Founder of Hotspotting discussed how the lockdowns have impacted the property market in the major capital cities, and these key questions:

• How to buy and sell during a lockdown
• Quick capital city round up
• Why are we currently in a boom market?
• How long can this boom last?
• The impact of lockdowns on prices?The impact of lockdowns on listing volumes
• What we’ve learnt from past lockdowns
• Why buyers should have a sense of urgency
• How to get yourself organised to take advantage
• Case studies on where to buy in a rebounding Melbourne

This is a highly insightful webinar is ideal for home buyers and property investors to get the latest updates. Get real insights into real issues so you are confident with your property decisions.

Eighteen months of hard experience has shown us that lockdowns and other restrictions are no barrier to real estate growth in this country.

Melbourne has entered Lockdown 6.0 with its property industry not only resilient but defiant, with busy markets and rising prices right across the metropolitan area.

Meanwhile, Regional Victoria continues to be one of the nation’s strongest markets.

Our latest quarterly survey of sales activity and prices shows that most regional markets remain very strong.

Not only have prices risen in almost every location across the state, but 75% of them have recorded double-digit growth in their median house prices.

In my view, Regional Victoria was the birthplace of the dominant trend in Australian real estate, the Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle.

It started several years ago with Melbourne residents buying in the regions close to the state capital and has since been turbocharged by the pandemic and the multiple lockdowns which have afflicted the city.

So this week we have published our new Victoria Bundle: the Top 5 Melbourne Hotspots report and the Top 5 Regional Victoria Hotspots report.

Both provide compelling reading.

So get yourself a copy of the Victoria Bundle today and find out the best places to buy in Melbourne and Victoria, as markets continue to rise.

Interview on ABC Wide Bay about the property trend sweeping the nation.

One simple formula for success in property investment is to follow the infrastructure trail.

Or, put another way, buy real estate that lies in the path of progress.

Few things impact on real estate markets as dramatically as major new infrastructure spending.

Construction of a new motorway, or rail line, or hospital, or university, generates economic activity and creates jobs, from which emerges demand for real estate.

These kinds of amenities also greatly improve the appeal of the locations that benefit, in the eyes of buyers.

So real estate is boosted in multiple ways when major infrastructure projects happen.

This factor is more relevant to property consumers than ever before, because Australia is entering a period of intense concentration on the creation of major new infrastructure.

Federal and state political leaders intend to generate an infrastructure-led economic recovery in Australia.

This will turbocharge the residential property boom which is already under way across the nation.

Government plans to fast-track shovel-ready projects will enhance the established trend of rising markets in many parts of Australia.

This makes our National Top 10 report based on the locations poised to benefit the most from big spending on new infrastructure particularly timely.

Buying real estate in these locations provides an additional level of confidence that the property you buy will grow in value over time.

So get yourself a copy of our “Infrastructure-led Economic Recovery: National Top 10” report today.

With markets rising almost everywhere in Australia, it feels like you can buy anywhere and get rapid capital growth.In the short-term, that may be true. But what about next year and the next five years?

What if you buy in haste and pay too much to beat the competition? And your chosen location lacks the growth drivers for long-term sustainable growth?

In this not-to-be missed webinar from 21 July, award-winning buyers’ agent Miriam Sandkuhler of Property Mavens joined Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder to discuss why investors and home-buyers need to be precise about location and price, even in a runaway property boom.

Sandkuhler, the best-selling author of “Property Prosperity”, will …

• Provide case studies of bad location choices
• Explain why some locations lack the drivers for sustainable growth
• List the factors investors should target to find a good location
• Advise ways to research local values to avoid paying too much
• Explain why try-before-you-buy is a good strategy for city people relocating to the regions

So many of the major factors that are currently impacting real estate markets are strong for Queensland.

Two of the biggest influences are the Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle and the intention by federal and state governments to generate an infrastructure-led economic recovery across Australia.

The Exodus trend is the most dominant force impacting real estate in the 21st Century.

All the elements that might influence people to leave the big cities and migrate to another part of the nation – climate, covid, lifestyle and affordability – are strong for Brisbane and for Regional Queensland.

The official population data confirms it: Sydney and Melbourne are losing population to internal migration and the biggest beneficiary, by a wide margin, is Queensland.

The list of major new infrastructure projects targeted on Brisbane and Queensland is growing by the week.

This promises to be a big generator of economic activity and jobs – and from that comes demand for real estate.

And the ultimate game changer is the prospect of the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane.

This means that the next 10 years will feature major spending on infrastructure, big investment by private enterprise and a strong media focus on Brisbane and South East Queensland.

The real estate data confirms that Brisbane and Regional Queensland are at the forefront of the rising tide of real estate activity across the nation.

Sales activity is elevated and prices are responding.

Australians are heading north and so are Queensland property prices.

So our new Queensland Bundle is an information product designed for the times.

It includes the new edition of our Top 5 Brisbane Hotspots report and the new edition of our Top 5 Regional Queensland Hotspots report.

You can buy them separately or you can save by buying them together in the Queensland Bundle.

But whichever one you choose, do it today.

Whether you’re an investor or owner occupier, Buyer’s Agent and Qualified Property Investment Adviser Alex Dutt of Adviseable will show you useful professional insider tips to help you navigate a rabid market and secure the property you want.

In this free webinar, Terry Ryder and Alex Dutt discussed:-

• Weighing up whether the timing is right to jump in and buy now
• How to find value in the marketplace and the signals that it’s time to move on
• The essential checklist to tick off before inspecting even your first property
• How to get yourself to the front of the buyer queue without overpaying
• How to successfully get a deal done in frenzied buying conditions
• The common mistakes buyers make in a highly competitive market

There are many different forces feeding the nationwide property boom that’s currently sweeping across Australia.

I have a list of 15 different key factors that are helping to drive the boom.

But I have no doubt that the biggest of them is the one I call The Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle.

I believe this is the most powerful influence on residential property markets in the 21st Century so far.

This trend has been under way for several years, driven by advanced technology, giving more and more people the ability to work remotely,

and by the desire by more and more people to access a better lifestyle at an affordable price.

This trend has been turbo-charged by the pandemic and the enforced lockdowns and work-from-home periods that have resulted from it.

Now, more and more Australians are seeking to leave the big cities and move to smaller cities or to attractive regional areas, including Hill Change towns and Sea Change enclaves.

At a result of this strong trend, last year I wrote a new report, the Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle National Top 10.

And now I have published our latest edition of this report, injecting new locations which offer possibilities for the many Australians seeking to benefit from this compelling trend.
