Infrastructure Development
Hotspotting
One of the fundamental factors we look for at Hotspotting when assessing locations is infrastructure. We want to know that a location has good basic infrastructure – schools, shops, government services, public transport and recreation amenities. If there is also a major factor in the market like a university campus or a hospital, this can be significant as a big generator of demand for real estate. In addition is good existing infrastructure, one of the big game-changers we look for is major new infrastructure under construction or in planning. A $500 million or...

Perth Market
Hotspotting
All the key indicators suggest that the Perth boom is past its peak and subsiding. Our analysis of all the major market jurisdictions across Australia, using a range of different performance metrics, indicates that Perth will not be the leading performer on price growth in 2025 – or anything close to it. After two consecutive years as the national leader on price growth, we feel confident in predicting that Perth is unlikely to repeat that performance in 2025. Perth was undoubtedly the national leader on price growth in 2023. Its median house price rose 16 percent (the national average...

Adelaide Ascends
Hotspotting
If you’re confused about what’s happening with rents in Australia, you can be forgiven. That’s especially so if you use news media as your main source of information about residential real estate. The information – or perhaps more correctly, misinformation – in news media is highly confusing and in many cases contradictory, with one headline saying the complete opposite to another. Here are two headlines that appeared on the same day, the 10th of January: The worst is over: slowest rise in rents in four years Affordability crisis: tenants feel the pinch as...

Albanese Housing Denial
Hotspotting
The Prime Minister is suffering from a serious case of denial if he believes that his press conference soundbite about building 1.2 million new homes is plausible, credible and achievable. Anthony Albanese had his big media event in August 2023 when he stated this objective of 1.2 million new homes in five years – but almost 18 months later it’s abundantly clear to everyone except members of the government that it’s not going to happen – indeed, was NEVER going to happen. It’s almost as if the PM and his cohorts believed that staging the publicity event in 2023 was all...

Approvals V Construction
Hotspotting
Two very different headlines have summed up the problems for Australia’s ongoing housing shortage. One of the recent media headlines declared that building approvals were at a two-year high and that things were improving for the nation’s housing shortage. The other described why building approvals are almost irrelevant – it said that project deferrals are occurring at a record rate. The reality of the current crisis is this: it doesn’t matter how many houses and apartments are approved for construction – and it doesn’t matter how many re-zonings state governments push through...

Key Highlights
2024 in Review
- Defying Predictions:
Despite high interest rates and inflationary pressures, property prices rose by an average of 5.53% nationally in 2024. Perth led with an astonishing 18.7% growth, followed by regional Western Australia, Adelaide, and Brisbane. - Surprise Winners:
Hotspotting’s 2024 National Best Buys Report proved remarkably accurate, with 9 out of 10 selected locations achieving growth three times the national average. - Shift to Apartments:
Demand for attached dwellings surged, driven by affordability and lifestyle preferences, with some unit markets outperforming houses in capital growth.
2025 Projections
- Second Wind Markets:
Regions like the Sunshine Coast, Albury-Wodonga, and Ballarat are emerging from a "pause phase" and are primed for growth, fueled by rising sales volumes and infrastructure developments. - Avoid Frenzied Markets:
Perth, Adelaide, and regional Queensland hotspots like Townsville are reaching their peaks. Investors should seek opportunities in undervalued markets with long-term growth potential. - Surprising Contenders:
Cities like Darwin and Launceston, as well as regional Victorian areas, are poised for unexpected growth, offering affordability and strong rental yields.
Emerging Trends
- Affordability Focus:
High interest rates are amplifying the appeal of regions with lower entry prices and strong rental yields. - Infrastructure Impact:
Areas benefiting from large-scale projects, such as Toowoomba and inland rail hubs, continue to attract growth. - Changing Investor Mindsets:
Long-term strategies and careful market selection are replacing speculative approaches.
