Hotspotting
Want to get into a key market BEFORE prices start to take off? Feel that you may have missed the boat with media favourite Perth? In many ways, the answers to these questions are the essence of smart investing. Most property investors are herd animals, diving into markets when they read that prices have risen 15% or 20% in the past year – or 50% in the past three years. Buying in such a market means you are likely buying at – or after – the peak of the market. The smart money would have been there 2-3 years ago – and is now focused on places that are early in the growth cycle....
info_outline Interviews with the 1% - Arjun Paliwal of InvestorKitHotspotting
Are you ready to take your investment journey to the next level? Look no further, because we have exciting news to share with you! We are thrilled to announce our new Hotspotting pre-recorded interviews with some of the top 1% of Australian investors who own 5 or more properties. As you may know, in the 2020-2021 financial year, only 0.87% of investors in Australia owned 5 or more investment properties. But what do these successful investors know that the majority don't? We have sat down with a number of them to get exclusive insights into their strategies, tips, and personal journeys. Our...
info_outline Real Estate Influence on RBAHotspotting
Part of the obsession by economists with interest rates as the only thing that matters in the housing market is the notion that the Reserve Bank spends a large amount of time discussing the housing market before deciding what to do about interest rates. As with so many things, economists are wrong about that. One of the most popular definitions of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result. My own definition of insanity is the average Australian economist discussing real estate. In essence, those two definitions are essentially the same thing....
info_outline First Home Buyer ActivityHotspotting
If you tune into news media regularly, it’s easy to form the view that the prospect of young Australians buying real estate is remote, if not impossible. There are daily headlines telling us that it takes 10 or 15 years to save a deposit, or that most young Australians have given up on home ownership and that young adults are doomed to a life-time of renting. As is so often the case with mainstream media and their love of negative sensation, the reality is quite different. First home buyers are highly active in markets across Australia. But first, let’s look at some of headlines with which...
info_outline Home Building CostsHotspotting
Want to know why housing affordability is so poor in this country? The answer, in simple terms, is because the cost of building new houses is so high – ridiculously, obscenely high. The cost of building the typical house in Australia has risen 53% in the past three years – and it now costs close to half a million dollars to build that home. And that’s just the cost of the house. It doesn’t include the price of the land. Who’s to blame for this situation? Primarily, overwhelmingly, it’s government. Politicians and bureaucrats. They keep...
info_outline Regional vs. City GrowthHotspotting
We’re constantly asked at Hotspotting whether it’s better to invest in the regions or the capital cities – and whether you get higher capital growth in the outer-ring suburbs of our cities or the so-called prime inner-city locations. Now, there’s no definitive answer to questions like that, because there are so many different scenarios to consider – and, at the end of the day, it comes down to the performance of individual local markets and you simply cannot generalise. But, based on the evidence of where the highest capital growth has occurred in the past four years, I would have to...
info_outline Victorian MarketsHotspotting
The smart money in real estate buys in key markets BEFORE prices start to take off. The essence of smart investing is NOT buying in over-heated markets like Perth but targeting locations that have the credentials for long-term growth but are currently at a low point in the cycle. And right now, the location that meets those criteria better than most is Victoria, particularly Melbourne. Most property investors are herd animals, diving into markets when they read that prices have risen 15% or 20% in the past year – or 50% in the past three years. Buying in such a market means you are likely...

info_outline How To Multiply Your Wealth With SubdivisionHotspotting
Many Australians grow their wealth through passive investment in real estate: buy a property, install a tenant and wait for growth. There’s a better, and faster, way – without high risk. More and more investors are using development strategies to accelerate the wealth-creation process, with small subdivisions one of the most accessible and successful. Wealth mentor Brad Cassidy of The Kaizen Way teaches these strategies to investors across Australia, with notable results. Recently, our Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder hosted Brad on a webinar to discuss how to profit from small...
info_outline Apartment Revolution in Real EstateHotspotting
At Hotspotting we’re always on the alert for evidence of CHANGE that will influence property markets. The great potential in residential real estate is that change is always happening, opening up new possibilities for growth. One of our catch-cries at Hotspotting is that THE PAST DOES NOT INFORM THE FUTURE. Poor performers of the recent past can become the nation’s leaders of the near future. One of the biggest trends we are tracking, under the general theme of change, is the rise and rise of apartments – challenging the dominant paradigm of real estate. That paradigm, still widely...
info_outlineSo 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.
