WHY INVEST IN AUSTRALIA?

Australian property is one of the safest forms of investment in the world. Australia's property market has a proven record of stable prices. The 2007/09 Global Financial Crisis which saw property prices in the UK and USA fall significantly, Australian property prices actually increased in value.

Statistics show that over the last 30 years, property prices have grown an average of 7% per year. Property values have only declined in six out of those thirty years. That means that four in every five years, property prices are growing. That level of long-term stability and consistency is unrivaled in other investment asset classes.

WHAT’S HAPPENING ON THE SUPPLY SIDE?

With Victoria’s population is growing at more than 100,000 people a year, we need more houses being built to keep up.

Housing approvals are currently running at record levels and this strategy aims to keep them at an average of more than 50,000 new homes a year.

population growth in 2017
  • Rapid population growth

    Melbourne is currently leading Australia's population growth adding more than 100,000 people between 2016 and 2017 alone.

  • 347,400 new jobs since 2014

    Victoria is leading the nation when it comes to job creation. Over the year, Victoria’s employment rose by 72 000 persons or 2.2 per cent. Since 2014 the government has created 347,400 jobs, with more than 211,000 of them full time.

  • Australia's biggest university city

    The city is home to 8 universities that teach close to 300,000 students, with more than a third from abroad. This makes Melbourne comfortably Australia’s biggest university city and one of the biggest study abroad destinations globally.

WHAT’S HAPPENING ON THE DEMAND SIDE?

  • Stability

    Proven record of stable prices & consistent under supply of housing in most capital cities. Australia has a firm responsible lending legislation and prudent economic management (APRA), reducing the risk of asset price bubbles.

    Overseas property markets such as Hong Kong or the United States have suffered significant crashes that are completely unheard of in Australia.

    Over the next 50 years, it’s expected that the trend of migration to Australia will continue and property prices will rise as a result.

  • It's easy to invest in Australia

    Many countries have very restrictive foreign investment laws or banking regulations that make it difficult to invest. This isn't the case in Australia.

    You don't need to setup a company in Australia or buy with a citizen. Government approval for foreign citizens is simple although additional taxes apply.

    Australia's legal system is based on the UK system just like Hong Kong or Singapore so its familiar to many overseas investors. There's minimal political, social or economic instability in Australia.

  • Consistent growth performance

    Australian properties have enjoyed consistent capital growth over the last 100 years, with property prices doubling roughly every 7 to 10 years.

    One of the reasons behind the growth is Australia's chronic housing shortage in many of our major cities. 

    The population is growing at a rate much faster than dwellings are being constructed. The primary reason for this is a consistent high level of immigration and strong employment demand. Prices have largely risen in line with the market’s ability to pay for housing.

  • Great place to live

    Melbourne ranked as the world's most livable cities for seven years in a row, from 2011 until 2017 taking out 2nd place in 2018 after Vienna. Australia is well known for its diverse international cities and breathtaking natural beauty.  

    Queensland (QLD) is famous for its wonderful beaches and reefs.
    Victoria (VIC) has a stunning coastline stretching to South Australia (SA).
    The Northern Territory (NT) is renowned for its distinctive outback experience.
    New South Wales (NSW) for the tranquil Blue Mountains, beautiful coast, strong economy and Sydney. 

    Many Australian universities are making a name for themselves overseas.

Melbourne's rental vacancy rate hits new low as population booms

The latest figures from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) show the vacancy rate dropped to just 1.8 per cent in July. That's the lowest it has been in the 16 years. Vacancy rates in Melbourne's outer suburbs were also below the state rate, sitting at 1.6 per cent.

Population increases well above the national average are expected to continue for many years, creating strong ongoing demand for rental properties. Melbourne is now Australia’s fastest growing city and expected to overtake Sydney as the country’s largest by 2026.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS

Victoria is the fastest growing state in the nation. In
fact, we’re growing at a pace barely seen since the
gold rush. That growth has created opportunities and
contributed to our economic success.

We’re undertaking the largest infrastructure
investment in our state’s history.
We’re building new rail lines to connect our suburbs and towns.

All up, this pipeline is worth over $80 billion, and is providing
work for 75,000 Victorians.

  • Metro Tunnel

    The Metro Tunnel will free up space in the City Loop to run more trains, more often across Melbourne. It will change Melbourne forever with a world class design that will see new open space, terraced seating and sweeping arches. Major work is underway on the $11 billion Metro Tunnel, which is Australia's biggest public transport project. Metro Tunnel will boost our rail network’s peak capacity by 39,000 in each two hour peak period, from its first day of operation.

  • Airport Rail Link

    Connecting Melbourne Airport to all metropolitan and regional rail lines. It is expected the full Business Case will be completed in 2019/20. Construction is set to begin by the end of 2022.

INVESTING IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA'S PROPERTY MARKET

Investing in Western Australia offers a unique blend of economic stability and appealing lifestyle options, attracting both local and international investors. The state's robust economy, driven by natural resources, supports a strong property market.

Investments in residential and commercial properties are buoyed by employment growth in mining and agriculture, as well as a burgeoning tourism sector that bolsters the retail and hospitality industries. This combination promises high returns through rental yields and capital appreciation, making Western Australia a lucrative investment destination.

BENEFITS OF PROPERTY INVESTMENT IN PERTH

Perth, the capital of Western Australia, stands out as an attractive location for property investors due to its ongoing urban development and infrastructure enhancements. With significant investments in transport, education, and healthcare, Perth offers a high quality of life and subsequent property value increases.

The city's affordability compared to other major Australian cities makes it an ideal choice for new and seasoned investors alike. The demand for residential properties remains strong, driven by Perth’s vibrant culture and strategic developments, ensuring its position as a top choice for property investment.

Jolene 帮助我在海外的亲戚成功购置了澳洲的投资房。我们非常感激她的经验、专业、细心和耐心。我的亲戚是第一次海外置业又不熟悉澳洲情况,几个月内问了无数问题,前后考虑了十几处房产。Jolene 一直都是悉心回应,甚至还主动指出很多我亲戚没有意识到的弊端。从购房、交割、租赁,Jolene 给了我亲戚一条龙的服务,帮我们省下了很多操心事。房子现在顺利地租出去,价值和房租都呈健康增长态势。 多谢Jolene! Highly recommended! 👍

I had the pleasure of working with Jolene recently when I was looking to buy a property in Melbourne, and I have to say, she was an absolute star. From the moment we first connected, Jolene was friendly, approachable and professional. She took the time to really understand my needs and preferences, and worked tirelessly to find me options that ticked all the boxes.Jolene's knowledge of the Melbourne property market catering to the needs of a foreigner is second to none, and she was able to guide me through every step of the buying process with ease. She was always quick to respond to my WhatsApp, emails and phone calls, and was happy to answer any questions I had along the way.What I appreciated most about Jolene, however, was her honesty and integrity. She never tried to push me towards a property that wasn't quite right for me, and was always upfront about any potential issues or challenges with a property. This made me feel confident that I was making the right decision, and I ended up finding a unit that our family absolutely love.Overall, I can't recommend Jolene highly enough. If you're looking for a property agent in Melbourne who is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about finding the right choice for you, then Jolene is the one to choose. Thank you, Jolene, for all your hard work and support!"

Jolene is an absolute gem of knowledge. From the get-go, she’s displayed adept skills in listening to her clients’ needs prior to selecting locations. In the search for luxuriously affordable apartments located near University via public transport, Jolene smoothly helped both my partner’s and own parents (from Indonesia & Malaysia) set up investments for us. This has helped built a strong foundation of our property ventures, which we plan to dive deeper in the future. Being kind, easy to communicate with and mindful when listening, I highly recommend Jolene to anyone who’s just began searching for properties, especially foreign parents planning for their children. Lastly, to Jolene, thank you again for the wonderful service you’ve provided us with.

I invested two overseas properties consecutive through a property broker. I didn’t receive my expected services from the broker, and Jolene stepped up providing her best knowledge and support professionally. After the handover, it was unfortunate for the poor Lettings management. Again, Jolene picked up my concerns and dealt with it from all her networks. I would highly recommend Jolene to you if you are a property investors. I am sure that you will have a peaceful mind and security from Jolene’s support!
