Home value index: a rising tide lifts all boats

6 April 2021Luke GrahamLeave a comment

With the first quarter of 2021 behind us, CoreLogic have released the March 2021 results of their capital city home value index. All Australian capitals experienced price index increases over the month for both houses and units, indicating that many Australian property investors are better off now than they were a month ago. In some areas, the growth experienced over the month of March 2021 would usually be considered a decent amount for a year. Hobart units, for instance, grew 4.9 percent over the month, while Sydney houses grew by 4.32 percent.

Comparable sales vs comparable product

30 March 202130 March 2021Roy AzziLeave a comment

I thought of writing this article after a recent conversation with Fiona, our Client Services Manager, about an upcoming project settlement. The project is amazing! It’s an iconic building in a strong growth area. The challenge we face is that there is nothing remotely similar to compare it to on value. I mentioned to Fiona that valuers will struggle to accurately value the project. A valuer’s sole job is to value a property using comparable sales as evidence for the ‘market value’ they place on a purchase. To make it even more difficult for the valuer, those sales must have occurred in the last three months. The biggest frustration I have with valuations is that they can cause doubt in the minds of investors. Sometimes, people will not invest in a property which actually represents amazing value—solely because of recent comparable sales data which clouds their confidence in their investment.

Just like you, I am a landlord. My husband and I have invested in property for over 20 years with the common purpose to secure our family’s financial future.

Adelaide vs Melbourne: a tale of two cities

23 March 20218 April 2021Gavin ChauLeave a comment

There has been a lot of talk about COVID-19 driving property price movements in regional areas recently. However, it is always a good idea to move a level or two up and look at the dominant themes in order to get clarity. This applies to all markets—be it stocks, commodities, precious metals or property.

Investors need to make their move before the market frenzy prices them out

Who would’ve thought that by March 2021 I’d be sitting here encouraging investors to get into the market as soon as possible? Prices are moving daily. Demand is so high developers are asking for stock back as retail enquiry is outpacing supply.

When do people leave Sydney?

9 March 2021Luke GrahamLeave a comment

Sydney is Australia’s most populous city, so it’s no wonder we hear a lot about the number of people leaving. Aside from the coronavirus pandemic, Sydney’s exodus was largely an interstate and intrastate occurrence, meaning that those leaving Sydney mostly moved elsewhere in New South Wales or Australia. Growth in Sydney’s population is therefore largely attributed to net increases in overseas migration.

A good example of why you should hold long term

23 February 2021Luke GrahamLeave a comment

Since our inception, Blue Wealth Property have been advocating for long-term holds. Even at times when ‘property flipping’ was a fad (which is usually in upward markets). We’ve spoken about the reasons before, usually at least a couple of times each year in the research blog. On some occasions we are able to share examples of property investors who successfully deployed a long-term strategy to their benefit. On other occasions, it is a less comfortable conversation about a property investor who didn’t do so, and it cost them big time.

Mixed Tape – Side B

Remember the days when making your playlist consisted of sitting a nose away from your boom box, listening to your local radio station and holding your fingers steady and ready to hit the red record button as soon as your favourite tune came on? You’d dance around the lounge room a little then run like a mad person back to the boom box to hit the pause button right before the song ended so you didn’t record the voice of the radio disc jockey.
