Australia has some of the best real estate in the world. With a growing population of just over 21 million people we are blessed with a range of features that make our real estate market highly sought after by home buyer, investors and developers. Some of the key reasons why buyers choose Australian real estate include:

• Excellent lifestyle benefits - famous surfing beaches, beautiful harbour, restaurants, entertainment and sporting facilities and fabulous natural landmarks.

Sydney is a world class city with a multi-cultural population of over 4.2 million people, a beautiful natural harbour, pristine beaches and was home to the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Purchasing a property in the Sydney real estate market is a wise decision that will provide substantial capital gains over the long term.

The value of Sydney property market has traditionally doubled in value every 7-10 years over the last 100 years. Sydney’s current median price for houses is now $617,500 (as at January 2010) and leading economic forecasters BIS Shrapnel predict Sydney house prices will continue to rise 21% over the next 3 years and further over the long term. Sydney now has 25 suburbs with a median price of over $1,000,000. While Sydney's last property boom was during 2003, we are now in a new property growth cycle and situation of continuous under-supply. This is evidenced by rental vacancies down to a record level of around 1.0% (less than 1 week), healthy auction clearance rates and prices rising in high demand lifestyle areas. We have a completely different market to the US. In Australia we have a situation whereby we are currently under-supplied by around 250,000 dwellings!

Sydney is surrounded by national parks and contains large areas of natural bushland scattered throughout suburban areas. The Sydney property market can be divided up into 9 major zones: Eastern Suburbs and CBD, Northern Beaches, Lower North Shore, Upper North Shore, Hills District, Inner West, Southern Suburbs and Western Suburbs. Identifying the hotspots of capital growth for Sydney requires strong market knowledge and analysis. We closely monitor the Sydney market and can advise international clients on areas that are likely to provide significant long term capital growth.

Sydney provides investors one of the best places to invest in real estate in the world. Australia has a long history of solid economic growth rate was very resiliant during the Global financial crisis and was one of the first economies to rebound into positive growth in 2009.  A strong domestic economy resilient to international shocks and with a stable government provides an excellent platform for property investing.
