April 2009 - Issue: 2

 

 

The first quarter has now passed with many tribulations, negative and positive news.  Regular readers of this newsletter would know that I have been promoting the fact that, in relation to supply and demand, there is a need for exceptional rental properties in the right areas – now statistics and reports are backing up what I have said.

I have always, and will remain, the biggest advocate for property investment; the wealthiest people in the world cannot be wrong; can they?

Please ensure you take action and contact your consultant to conduct your twelve to eighteen month review – we all need to ensure we keep on track.

Call Karen today on 9815 3922 to organise a suitable time and date.

Have a fabulous next quarter.

A considerable gap that exists between housing supply and demand

This is the most recent headline from the REIV: April 18 2009.

The article covers the fact that the National Housing Supply Council report highlighted the considerable gap that exists between housing supply and demand; which is something we at AFPS have been saying for quite some time.

The report goes on to say that there are a number of factors in the current market that could combine to constrain the rate of development of new housing:-

·         Current economic conditions are tightening the credit for the housing industry

·         Projects that would increase supply are being deferred

·         High land and construction costs; causing a lack of new supply particularly in areas with strong demand.

·         Planning, zoning, subdivision and development approval processes are often lengthy, and are a major continuing constraint on supply.

The REIV believes that to overcome these issues, a coordinated approach by federal, state and local government is required.

For us as investors this means there is a high demand for rental property.
