Australian Property Investing

Propelled by the stability and growth potential in our real estate, the Australian property market offers an appealing opportunity to foreign investors. While other regions around the world have witnessed flat or reduction in property value, the Australian market has continued to perform well over the long term.

General Overview

Comprising of six states and two territories and home to over 24.13 million people, Australia is the world's smallest island but its largest continent.

Most of Australia's population is concentrated in two widely separated coastal regions in the east (New South Wales, Queensland) and south-east (Victoria, South Australia) – and the smaller of the two regions is in the south-west (Western Australia) of the continent.

In both coastal regions, the population is concentrated in urban centres, particularly the State and Territory capital cities. New South Wales is the country's most populated state, with Sydney being the most populated city.

Real Estate Market

Whilst other regions, such as the United States have endured housing crashes that have dropped prices to 30 per cent of the original value in a matter of weeks,

Though the Australian market has seen property values drop when the cycle hit the downturn, such as in the 2009 Global Financial Crisis, Australia has been able to maintain a stable real estate environment over long periods of time.
