Market Confidence in the Central Coast

02 Oct 2018

A newspaper article in the Central Coast Express Advocate last week has real estate afficionados cheering.

It states that properties on the Central Coast are bucking the Sydney trend, and are forecast to jump by 8 percent next year.

The reason for this is that Sydney residents income levels have not kept pace with the higher Sydney prices, and so the Central Coast has become very attractive to them.

Population growth on the Coast remains strong, and first home buyers are very active locally, which will help drive the real estate market further.

Furthermore, the ABC reported recently that some regional housing markets are surging - and one of the surging areas is the Hunter Valley. The Regional Australia Institute attributes the growth to unaffordable major city prices which sends city-dwellers looking for price and lifestyle in places like the Hunter.

So it's full steam ahead for Central Coast and Hunter Valley markets!

When looking for a property for my parents, I was introduced to Tony. After I described my requirements, he took the time to show me areas that fulfilled my requirements, and then specific locations, floor plans and similar new homes that he believed, based on my criteria, would be suitable. Thank you Tony.

Tony and his team were willing to go the extra mile to show us properties in new and growing areas that would be suitable to include in our investment portfolio. Following our earlier success in securing a new build on land in the Newcastle region, we were keen to investigate other locations which would provide capital growth and good rental return with a low vacancy factor. His team thoroughly researched all those requirements and provided great options.

Tony and his team assisted us in buying a new off-the-plan home for investment purposes. We were given plenty of information on the location and trends in the area, and the types of properties that were popular with tenants. Tony has many trusted contacts in real estate and associated industries, and referred us to a quantity surveyor who has helped us claim a lot more depreciation than we thought we could, and to a great property manager that is making our life easy for us as landlords. It’s been a very successful relationship!
