Our National Top 10 Best Buys report includes the City of Marion in Adelaide, which is one of our most consistent markets.

The series of fortunate events for real estate keep on coming.

The new Credit Reporting regime will make it easier and cheaper to get finance, following the positive changes for interest rates and the APRA lending rules.

Sales activity, clearance rates and prices are all rising in the major markets. First-home buyers are busy, helped by cheap finance, tax cuts and high levels of government assistance. Sellers are starting to respond, with listings rising.

The only thing missing for investors is good advice on where best to buy.

That's where Hotspotting's Best Buys report comes in. Terry Ryder has examined prospects across Australia and identified the 10 best locations for future growth prospects.

They're a mix of capital city and regional markets, all places with vibrant local economies, affordable real estate options and good potential for capital growth.

A recent interview Terry did on the booming Sunshine Coast property market. 

The so-called Spring selling season is under way in the two biggest cities, with markets showing increasing signs of revival - so we have published a Spring Special Bundle: the best of Sydney and the best of Melbourne - 2 reports for the price of one.

I'm heading to Perth to speak at a special seminar event hosted by Nicheliving - at a time when the Perth market is showing increasing signs of returning to growth.

We've just published the new edition of Top 5 Regional Queensland Hotspots report, which features some of the nation's most compelling rising markets - including the Sunshine Coast.

The "fortunate events" that have occurred since May - removal of uncertainty about negative gearing and tax changes, reductions in interest rates, easing of APRA's lending restrictions have all led to a gradual improvement in sentiment surrounding real estate investment and now this is reflected in positive changes in the two biggest cities - Sydney & Melbourne. Other areas that have been continuing to grow during this time are also showing further uplift - so if you have had real estate investment on the backburner this year, it's time to get back into the market.

Six months ago all the usual suspects were predicting prices in Sydney and Melbourne would fall 40-50%, but now they're rising again.

In the past two years, most of the best markets for affordability and growth across the nation have been found in regional Australia. This remains the case, particularly in the eastern states. And right now, the number of growth markets in Regional Queensland continues to rise, as the economies in resources-related regional centres recover.

Mackay, the leader of the Central Queensland fightback, is thriving and other regional centres are joining the revival, including Rockhampton, Gladstone and Emerald.
