Properties throughout Australia enjoy high demand, as evidenced by rising prices and new projects. Price growth is bound to increase due to dwelling shortages, population growth, and various other factors. There is a huge demand due to “first home” buyers and rentals. A home investor can enjoy a quick return on investment because of these factors. Furthermore, the Australian Dollar shows promising growth against major currencies, augmenting the return from property re-sale.

The imbalance between strong demand and weak supply has underpinned house prices and driven rents higher. The stock shortage may be exacerbated in the short-term because of the lags associated with construction, planning and regulatory approval.
