As we head into the pointy end of the year, you might be starting to think about your goals and resolutions for the ‘roaring 20s’. If investing in property is a top priority for the new year, here are our five best, turnkey Brisbane suburbs that sure deliver a good return on investment (ROI).
According to the chief economist at realestate.com.au Nerida Conisbee, properties in Brisbane had remained strong despite the property slump over the past two years.
“While prices in Sydney and Melbourne have tumbled over the past two years, pricing in Brisbane has been remarkably stable,” she says.
“This is despite a lot of concerns about apartment oversupply, which have turned out to be vastly overstated.”
Conisbee also notes that rental properties in Brisbane are receiving ongoing interest and are seeing some of the highest views per listing for rental properties in Australia.
The principal of Universal Buyers Agents, Darren Piper, sees this growing interest as the ‘prime time’ to invest in property and believes that these five suburbs will not only offer investors vibrant suburban living, but the attractive ROI’s is the key reason to put these areas on the map.
