NSW Investor Boom
Hotspotting
The latest lending data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics finds that loans to investors in New South Wales in April represented a 44% increase on the same time last year. That’s a major jump in buyer demand, but it does not surprise the team at Hotspotting, particularly after the analysis we have done on market trends for the Winter edition of The Price Predictor. Our research shows there is heightened buyer activity in selected locations, both in Sydney and in Regional NSW. The Price Predictor Index finds that some of the nation’s regional areas are the leading markets in the...

Why Builders Aren't Building
Hotspotting
Home builders and property developers make their money creating new dwellings for Australian households. If they get it right, they can make lots of money doing what they do. When they decide NOT to do what they do, you have to ask why. Why are the builders of major projects of housing or apartments walking away from their plans? Why are big companies who have spent years and millions of dollars planning a major project making the decision not to build it? We’ve seen many instances recently. An example is the decision by AVJennings to abandon a major housing development near Caboolture in...

Investor Lending
Hotspotting
Home loans to property investors jumped for a third-straight month in April, rising at a faster pace than loans to owner-occupiers. The value of new loans to investors rose 5.6% to $10.9 billion in April, to be up 36% compared with a year ago, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Part of that increase, according to the ABS, is an increase in the size of the average loan. The average size of an investor loan for the purchase of an existing home grew almost 10% since April 2023, from $592,000 to $648,000. The strongest markets were New South Wales (where investor lending increased...

Price Predictor Index Winter Edition is Out Now!
Hotspotting
I’m about to tell you what’s going to happen with property prices this year and I’m going to tell you why. The information real estate buyers MOST want to know is where to buy for superior capital growth, both in the short term and the long term. The problem for investors is that the research companies and the media don’t tell us that. They tell us what’s recently happened with property prices. They inform us about the past. And while that may be interesting, it doesn’t provide us with the really key information: what will happen with prices in the future. That’s where...

Population Hotspots
Hotspotting
It’s important for property investors to understand the difference between a population and home building hotspot – and what we at Hotspotting would define as a property growth hotspot. There are those who believe that the best philosophy in selecting good places to buy real estate is to follow the population growth – and buy in the locations where population is growing the most or the fastest. This, we believe, is a very poor strategy. Very often, the locations that have the highest population growth rates do so simply because they’re locations on the fringe of a major city where...
