Now is the Perfect Time to Buy an Investment Property

Transcript

Hi, this is Jason Dwyer, managing director of station sponsor Dwyer Property Investments.

I grew up on The Coast and have been involved in the local property market most of my life.

My brother, Wayne Dwyer, owns one of the most trusted building companies on The Coast: Dwyer Quality Homes.

Our family has been helping Queenslanders build beautiful homes and invest in property for more than thirty-five years.

The Coast has long been popular with visitors and investors.

It’s one of the fastest-growing populations in Australia outside of the state capitals and certainly the fastest in Queensland.

With its enviable lifestyle and work-life balance, it’s easy to see the attraction.

The region is no longer reliant on just tourism. It has the largest medical precinct in the country.

And major infrastructure projects – such as Maroochydore’s CBD, the airport expansion and Bruce Highway upgrades – have created thousands of jobs.

While all property markets have their ups and downs, The Coast has remained relatively stable.

Over the past 30 years, growth hasn’t dropped below five per cent. For houses, it’s currently tracking at a healthy seven per cent.

Buyer activity did slow in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, but property prices haven’t dropped.

In fact, local agents are now reporting a surge in sales and enquiries in regional areas close to major cities, as well as the Gold and Sunshine coasts.

Two major master-planned communities in Caloundra South and Maroochydore are proving particularly desirable to investors and homeowners.

Thanks to positive growth, a strong rental yield of five per cent and the lowest rental vacancy rate in the country, the conditions for investing in property have rarely been better.

Property here is still excellent value for money, but the increase in demand will likely push prices up.

This is great for capital growth. But it also means you shouldn’t delay – now is the perfect time to buy an investment property.
