With over 15,000 suburbs across Australia, how do you know where to invest next—and which markets are set to outperform? In this episode of The Property Playbook, host Tim Graham sits down with Australia's leading property analyst, Terry Ryder, to reveal the latest insights from Hotspotting's National Top 10 Best Buys report. Unlike media-driven “hotspots,” these locations have been handpicked for their long-term growth potential, strong local economies, and critical infrastructure investment.

You don't have to be super rich or invest $1 million to make big capital gains in residential real estate: you just need to follow Hotspotting's signature report, the National Top 10 Best Buys report. Those who followed the tips in our report of a year ago could have made close to $100,000 in capital gains spending as little as $400,000 – or $180,000 in gains after investing $630,000. In December 2023 we published our National Top Best Buys reports for Summer 2023-34. Our top 10 locations for investors to consider covered a wide range of price points, from less than $300,000 and above $1 million.  And all 10 regions suggested in that report a year ago include suburbs which have delivered spectacular gains in the past 12 months. Many rose by more than 20% in 12 months, compared with the national average rise of just 5.5%. In Bunbury in Western Australia, you would have paid below $350,000 for the typical house in suburbs like Carey Park and Withers – and seen your investment grow by $90,000 or more, following annual growth between 25% to 30%. Even a modest investment of less than $300,000 for a small unit in Carlton in inner-city Melbourne would have shown excellent capital growth, out-performing the generally flat Melbourne market. Those with more to spend late in 2023 could have achieved over $200,000 in capital growth by buying houses at the median price in locations such as Punchbowl in Sydney and Carrara on the Gold Coast, or apartments in Elizabeth Bay in Sydney. More mid-range were units in Kangaroo Point in Brisbane or at Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast; and houses in Tea Tree Gully in Adelaide or Fairy Meadow in Wollongong – all delivering $100,000 or more in gains for those who bought around the median price for those locations. The average situation arising out of our National Top 10 Best Buys report a year ago was investing $640,000 and achieving a 21% rise in value, which means capital gains of $146,000. We've recently published our National Top 10 Best Buys report with our selections to launch 2025. And, in keeping with our tradition of seeking to identify the future hotspots – which means locations with potential for strong price growth, but before those markets rise strongly and become competitive – the new edition of Best Buys does not include already hot markets like Perth, Adelaide and key regional markets in Queensland.  We've identified places where you can buy sensibly, with due diligence, and look forward to excellent capital growth over time.

The biggest paradigm-changing trend in Australian real estate, the rise and rise of apartments, is confirmed by the latest price data from the usual suspects – and is reflected in our choices for the latest edition of our most popular report, the National Top 10 Best Buys report. The latest price data from CoreLogic shows that unit prices are rising faster than house prices. While news media, in its predictable fashion, focussed on the perceived negatives in the CoreLogic Home Value Index published in October, my analysis of the figures is that they provide further evidence that rising demand for attached dwellings is creating out-performance on price growth. Perth still leads on growth in house prices, but the numbers for growth in unit prices are considerably stronger, both for the past month, the past quarter and the year to date. According to CoreLogic, Perth prices rose 1.6% in September for houses but 2% for units. In the September quarter, Perth house prices increased 4.6% but unit prices were up 6.2%.  And, for the first nine months of 2024, house prices are up 17% but unit prices more than 20%. It's the same for one of the other hot city markets, Adelaide.  House prices in Adelaide has recorded strong rises in the month of September, the September Quarter and the year to date, but unit prices have increased more in each of those time frames. The price outcomes are even more emphatic in Brisbane: house prices rose 2.4% in the September Quarter, but unit prices rose 4.8%, exactly twice as much. And the year to date growth numbers are 10% for houses but 14% for units. In both Sydney and Melbourne, which have not been matching the smaller cities on growth, the numbers are nevertheless stronger for units than for houses. And nationally, median prices grew 0.4% for houses but 0.6% for units in September, while in the September Quarter houses were up 1% but units 1.2%. The differential is greatest in the Combined Regional markets, with units outperforming houses in the month, the quarter, the year to date and in the past 12 months. And that holds true for most of the individual state regional markets, notably Western Australia, New South Wales and South Australia. In Regional Queensland, where many regional cities have highly active markets, the numbers are fairly even. Overall, these numbers are the latest piece of evidence that the old paradigm of real estate, that houses always outperform units on capital growth, is changing and in many locations HAS changed. As we comment in the report we recently published with marketing company Nuestar, the one we call The Rise and Rise of Apartments, there is growing buyer demand for attached dwellings across Australia. Units now accounts for more than half of all sales in the Sydney market and they have a growing market share in Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra as well. In the booming Perth market, where houses are no longer the cheapest in capital city Australia following massive price growth recently, more and more buyers are pivoting to the more affordable and often better located unit products in the market. And now this compelling trend in national real estate is a big influence on our choices to the nominated locations for the new edition of the National Top 10 Best Buys.  Many of the nation's strongest locations for unit demand are prominent in this report – as well as some of the most vibrant house markets in key locations across Australia.  

Real estate consumers tend to place their attention on the markets receiving the most media headlines, which primarily are the ones that have shown the biggest growth in the past month or the latest quarter or year. But that is not the best measure of which locations have been showing the best growth.  To get a better picture of locations that out-perform, you need to look at longer time frames, such as the past THREE years, not the past week or the past month as media tends to do. News media continues to obsess over the Perth market where prices currently are rising the fastest and they tend to imply that this boom will keep on rolling for years to come. It won't. Perth has already had a couple of years of major price growth and there are already signs that the market has peaked. One of the things that would be more useful is for the media to take a broader focus of price performance, to give consumers a more enlightened picture of where the best growth has been. For example, where in Australia have we seen the biggest growth over the past three years? It would no doubt surprise many to learn that there are a dozen regional centres across Australia which have had considerably higher growth since 2021 than Perth – and most of the other capital cities as well. Research published by one of Australia's best real estate analysts, Simon Pressley of Propertyology, shows that the best performers on capital growth over the past three years have been regional cities - and that the best of the capital cities has not been Perth, but Adelaide. So which location has recorded the highest growth in median house prices in the past three years? According to Propertyology, the answer is Bundaberg in Regional Queensland, where the median price has risen 63% in three years. Close behind comes Wagga Wagga in NSW, which has grown 56%. Then we have little-known Gympie near the Sunshine Coast, up 51%, alongside Hervey Bay a little further north in Queensland, which also increased 51%. In fifth place we have the first of the capital cities, Adelaide, which is up 50% on the pricing levels of 2021. Next, in order, we have the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Mandurah in WA, Rockhampton in Queensland, Tamworth in NSW, the Gold Coast in Queensland and Albury-Wodonga at the NSW-Victoria border. In 12th place, up 40% over three years, is Perth. Now, I'm happy to report that every one of those out-performing locations across the nation have featured strongly in our hotspots reports over the past 3-4 years. And we featured them BEFORE that big period of three-year growth started. In the 2020 editions of our National Top 10 Best Buys report, the Sunshine Coast was our top pick – and went on to be a national leader on price growth over three years. In the 2021 editions of Best Buys, Bundaberg, Tamworth, Albury-Wodonga, Wagga Wagga and the Gold Coast, as well as key locations in Adelaide and Perth, all featured in our national top 10 lists – BEFORE the three years of growth happened. And remember that, back in 2020 and early 2021, economists and the media generally were telling us that prices were going to crash everywhere. We simply did NOT agree – and we got it right. This speaks to the essence of intelligent investing – accessing good research reports that tell you where the highest growth will happen BEFORE it happens. NOT diving into markets where the media says prices have grown the most in the past year. That is the essence of BAD investing.  

The most successful property investors have some features in common - and making decisions based on genuine research is one of the key ones. But those people are relatively rare. My observation of the behaviour of investors over four decades shows that more people make investment decisions based on media soundbites than on real research. And, as we embark on a new financial year with all kinds of competing forces in play in real estate, it's more important than ever that real estate consumers base their decisions on research, rather than media frenzy and herd mentality. Far too many people are leaping recklessly into the Perth property market because mainstream media keeps telling them that prices are booming and will keep on doing so, backed by commentary from real estate people who have a vested interest in prolonging the boom. At Hotspotting, we think this media soundbite approach is fraught with peril and that many of the people diving into the Perth market - grabbing anything that's for sale and paying more than the asking price, without regard for the quality or location of the property - will regret their decisions made in haste without proper due diligence. It's a reflection of those views that our new edition of the National Top 10 Best Buys report does not include any locations in Perth. Based on detailed research, we think this market has peaked (after three years of major price growth) and will not be the national leader on capital growth in FY2025, as some are predicting – or hoping. We think there are other, better places for people to be putting their money – safer, less volatile, less heated markets with good potential for capital growth. Well-researched investors buy in areas with growth credentials BEFORE prices escalate. Our choices for good locations to buy in FY2025 are based on research-based knowledge of the key trends driving demand in the best locations across Australia.  We're not focused on short-term sugar-hit gains; we're focused on places we think will do well in the medium to long term. We base our choices on economic factors, demographic trends and on the locations of influence from big infrastructure developments. At Hotspotting, we are constantly on the look-out for evidence of change in property market trends and individual locations. Places that have been weak performers on capital growth in the past can become the leaders of the future because something major has changed in that market – often caused by the development of major new infrastructure. Sometimes it's a significant demographic shift – such as the trend that has seen large numbers of people leaving the biggest cities and moving to smaller cities or to regional areas, in search of a different and more affordable lifestyle, enabled by technology. In the past 12 months we have observed a surge in demand for units and townhouses by a range of buyer cohorts, for a host of different reasons – and this is changing one of the dominant paradigms of real estate: that houses outperform units on capital growth. We have also seen he re-emergence of markets that had exceptional price growth from 2020 to 2022, have had 18 months of correction or flatlining and now are starting to grow again. We call them “the second wind markets”. Real estate is dynamic, with change as a constant: if you read the new edition of our National Top 10 Best Buys report, you will know about all the key trends that matter in the new 2024-25 financial year.  

The new 2025 Financial Year is upon us and, as we do every year, we are making special offers to real estate consumers and to our business customers. One of the key factors for success for real estate investors is basing decisions on quality research. As we launch into the new financial year, it's crucial to have the best information at your fingertips. To help set up investors with a suite of reports that cover all the key bases, we've put together a bundle of reports that nominate great locational options for capital growth, for rental yields and positive cashflow, as well as our Australian Property Guide that provides information about the key rules and costs like stamp duty in each state and territory. So this special bundle provides the new edition of National Top 10 Best Buys, as well as National Top 10 Positive Cashflow Hotspots report and the Australian Property Guide at a price that saves you $248 if you bought each of those three reports separately. Having these three reports gives you a major head start on the competition for the best places to buy in Australia in FY2025. For real estate professionals we have two key membership products, Property Pro and Enterprise. These provide a range of features, including access to our new one-stop-shop research portal, all our hotspots reports and a range of other key benefits. Our EOFY special deals provide a saving of $1,500 for the Property Pro membership and an annual saving of $3,000 for the Enterprise membership. Overall, it's a package of special deals that has something for everyone, whether you're an investor who wants to buy, an investor who plans to sell or a real estate professional with a business seeking to provide the best advice to customers. And if you want to take advantage of these offers, you need to take action this week – as the special deals expire on June 30.  

The latest lending data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics finds that loans to investors in New South Wales in April represented a 44% increase on the same time last year. That's a major jump in buyer demand, but it does not surprise the team at Hotspotting, particularly after the analysis we have done on market trends for the Winter edition of The Price Predictor. Our research shows there is heightened buyer activity in selected locations, both in Sydney and in Regional NSW. The Price Predictor Index finds that some of the nation's regional areas are the leading markets in the nation, including the Wollongong/Shoalhaven region in NSW. In the Winter edition of the PPI, we have nominated the Shoalhaven LGA as the strongest market among the nation's municipalities, while the City of Wollongong also makes our National Top 10. The Price Predictor Index for several years has charted the trend we call The Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle and our latest analysis suggests the demographic drift from the biggest capital cities is still pumping strongly. In some cases, the NSW regional markets of note are what we call “second-wind markets” -locations across Australia which were at the peak of their up-cycles in 2021 and then subsided in 2022 and 2023 – but are now showing signs of embarking on the next up-cycle, with improved activity late in 2023 and early in 2024. A prime example is Byron Bay which previously had a boom which, in reality, overshot true value – with property values doubling in two years. The median house price peaked at $3.5 million in mid-2022, but dropped markedly since to as low as $2.4 million. Now we see evidence in the sales data of a pickup in activity and also the first signs of prices recovering. The strong Albury-Wodonga regional city at the NSW-Victoria border was a boom market until mid-2022 – and now, after a flat period, is showing early signs of revival. The suburb of Albury is one of our National Top 50 Supercharged Suburbs in the Winter edition of The Price Predictor Index. Other standout locations include Newcastle and nearby areas such as Lake Macquarie and Port Stephens. Mid-coast centres like Forster and Taree are also travelling well. In Sydney, the top end is undoubtedly leading the Sydney market while the cheaper areas are struggling to maintain their previously high sales levels. Locations where houses sell for multiple millions of dollars are the strongest clusters for buyer activity, in a Greater Sydney market where sales levels have moderated a little but continue to be solid. Our analysis reveals three stand-out clusters of suburbs where sales activity is most vibrant, all of them at the upper end of the market – the municipalities of Woollahra, Waverley and Bayside. Within these LGAs, suburbs classified as rising markets include Bondi, Darling Point and Paddington. Inner-city areas which have been boosted by strong demand for apartments in the past year or so – Sydney City and the Inner West LGA - continue to generate good buyer demand. Rising suburbs in the City of Sydney include Surry Hills and Woolloomooloo, while Chippendale stands out for its consistency of performance. At the opposite end of the market spectrum, outer ring areas including the municipalities of Blacktown, Hills Shire and Penrith have lost momentum and have significant numbers of suburbs classified as declining markets. This is part of a notable trend nationwide which finds that new development areas are among the struggling markets with sales activity falling. The problems within the housing construction sector are well-documented, with building companies going broke amid rapidly rising costs and shortages of tradespeople and materials. We note that sales levels in the City of Blacktown, which has been a star performer in Sydney in recent years, have faded notably. It's noteworthy that many of the declining suburbs have median house prices well above $1 million and no longer provide relative affordability, including Rouse Hill, The Ponds and Schofields. In The Hills Shire, an even more expensive market in the far north-west, sales activity generally has dropped notably and half its suburbs are now rated as declining markets. They include a number of suburbs which all have median house prices above $1.7 million and in some cases above $2 million. Listings of homes for sale have been trending upwards in the Hills District recently, so low sales volumes cannot be attributed to a shortage of properties. But beyond that hiccup in the outer Sydney market, New South Wales broadly presents as a place that is attracting strong buyer demand, both in Sydney and in regional markets, with an uplift in investor activity a key factor.  

I'm about to tell you what's going to happen with property prices this year and I'm going to tell you why. The information real estate buyers MOST want to know is where to buy for superior capital growth, both in the short term and the long term. The problem for investors is that the research companies and the media don't tell us that. They tell us what's recently happened with property prices. They inform us about the past. And while that may be interesting, it doesn't provide us with the really key information: what will happen with prices in the future. That's where Hotspotting comes in. Our proven methodology has a track record of predicting the future successfully and often. And one of our core techniques is used to create the best of our stable of reports: The Price Predictor Index. The underlying principle is really simple but wonderfully effective. We don't spend our time charting price movements - we devote our resources to following what's happening with sales volumes - the number of sales in each location and whether they're rising, flatlining or falling. History tells us that sales activity is a forward indicator of what will happen with prices. And the new Winter edition of the report provides important clues about which markets are rising and which ones are falling. Here are some of the key pieces of market intelligence that our new analysis provides:- The Perth boom has likely peaked and we urge caution for the many investors diving into this market after three years of big price growth. Melbourne prices will perform a lot better in 2024 than they did in the past two years. Some of the regional markets have stepped up as likely national leaders on price growth in the next 12 months. They include places like the Wollongong region, including in particular the Shoalhaven LGA; Gladstone in Central Queensland; and Albury-Wodonga at the Victoria-NSW border. Smaller capital cities which have been weak lately are showing solid signs of recovery and will do better in the next year, including Canberra and Darwin. Some of the iconic markets which had spectacular booms up to 2022 and have been in a correction phase since then, are now showing signs of moving into their next up-cycle. They include Byron Bay, the Sunshine Coast and the Mornington Peninsula. Other former boom markets that look to be heading into another period of growth include Albury-Wodonga, Ballarat and Bendigo in Victoria, Hervey Bay in Queensland and Launceston in Tasmania. Apartment markets in good locations in our biggest cities continue to attract buyers in large numbers with improved capital growth performance - Sydney City and the Inner West nearby are among the stand-outs. The Winter edition of The Price Predictor Index has other priceless intel - including the National Top 50 Supercharged Suburbs list, the 50 most consistent growth markets in the nation, the 10 leading local government areas in Australia and the 50 worst declining markets, the ones to avoid.  From these lists, we nominate the No.1 best supercharged suburb, the nation's most consistent location which is delivering big price growth - and the worst place to buy right now. And, if you want to know what they are, you'll need to get a copy of the report.  

It's a common myth that an investment property can't have both strong rental yields and capital growth.  Our data shows us time and time again that BOTH outcomes are possible, and no report illustrates it better than ‘The National Top 10 Positive Cashflow Hotspots Report'. Investing in real estate is all about timing and choosing the right locations that promise substantial returns. Our latest edition of the National Top 10 Positive Cashflow Hotspots report reveals the insights you need to make informed decisions and maximise your investment potential. Our Previous Scorecard Our tips from last year had some remarkable growth in both property values and rental yields in these suburbs, reinforcing their attractiveness as investment destinations.

There are numerous reasons why we think Melbourne and Victoria is worthy of consideration by property investors, notwithstanding the concerted efforts by the state government and some local councils to force investors to sell up and get as far away from Victoria as possible. Melbourne and Victoria are underpinned by one of the nation's strongest state economies, according to CommSec's State of the States report, and there has been a notable uplift in sales activity since the start of 2024, pointing to elevated price growth as the year unfolds. But perhaps the most compelling evidence, pointing to growing strength in the Melbourne market in particular, is the latest population data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The ABS figures describing population growth in 2023 are largely dominated by Melbourne. While the annual growth rate for Australia was 2.4%, Melbourne rose 3.3% - which was the highest in the nation except for Perth. The National Top 10 list for the fastest growing local government areas in Australia – that's the percentage growth rate for the year - included three Melbourne LGAs, with the City of Melbourne the No.1 fastest growing municipality in the nation. The Nearby City of Yarra and the City of Melton in the western suburbs also made the top 10 national list. In terms of LGAs with the largest growth, the actual number of new people added to the population, four of the national Top 10 were in Melbourne – the City of Melbourne and three outer-ring growth areas, the municipalities of Wyndham, Casey and Melton. At a suburb level, most of Australia's fastest growing suburbs are in the Greater Melbourne area. That includes the nation's fastest growing suburb, Rockbank in the western suburbs of Melbourne. Of the top 12 fastest growing suburbs in Australia, 9 are in Greater Melbourne. And of the nation's top 30 fastest growing suburbs, 16 are in Greater Melbourne. Now, to be clear, we're not suggesting that population growth is the over-riding factor in choosing where to buy real estate. It's one of many factors to take into account. But, considered alongside all the other factors, it's a pretty strong endorsement of Melbourne's prospects – it's a tale of growth and the remarkable thing is, Melbourne hasn't delivered any major price growth recently. That, I believe, will emerge later in 2024 and beyond.

This week, we're replaying a classic episode where Steve and Yvonne interviewed Kyle Farrar and Wesley Ball of Farrar and Ball, LLP (http://fbtrial.com/).   Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here to Rate and Review.   View/Download Trial Documents   Case Details: Farrar & Ball trial attorneys Kyle Farrar and Wesley Ball share how they secured justice for Shanika Brown and her infant daughter, who underwent arm and leg amputations, respectively, after being ejected from a car that hit a blown truck tire from a concrete mixer owned by Silvi Concrete on I-295 in New Jersey. The failed Bridgestone L315 tire, which was poorly retreaded by McCarthy Tire and negligently maintained by Silvi Concrete, was left in the roadway and caused the car Brown and her daughter were riding in to swerve and crash. Bridgestone, the original manufacturer of the tire, settled pre-trial. McCarthy Tire settled early in the trial and Silvi Concrete settled with the infant daughter before the case was presented to the jury. A Philadelphia, Pennsylvania jury ultimately assigned 85 percent of the blame to Silvi Concrete. It returned a verdict of $10.6 million to Shanika Brown and $65,000 to Shanika's mother, who was driving the vehicle. Combined with delay damages, the verdict totaled $11.7 million.   Guest Bios: Kyle Farrar Kyle Farrar is a veteran litigator with an active trial caseload in state and federal courts across the country.

One of the factors we're constantly searching for, among the thousands of markets across Australia, is CHANGE.  We're on the look-out, every day, for locations where the performance of the property market is set to go to another level because of major changes in the local economy. We sometimes surprise people by recommending areas that have a POOR TRACK RECORD on capital growth. But, essentially, we don't care about the PAST when we're choosing locations to recommend. We're only interested in the FUTURE. When we find a location where a major program of infrastructure development is under way, or there's a big change in the local economy - and we feel confident that this will generate elevated demand for real estate in the area - WE DON'T CARE if that location has delivered minimal growth in the past 10 years. Our process, fundamentally, is about the FUTURE. Let me illustrate the point with some case studies. In the July 2020 edition of our most popular report – the National Top 10 Best Buys report – we listed the Sunshine Coast as our No.1 pick. With the benefit of hindsight, it may appear to be a case of the bleeding obvious. But, at that time, it was quite different. NO ONE wanted to buy Sunshine Coast real estate back then because its track record on capital growth was terrible.  At that time, the long-term capital growth averages of most suburbs ranged from 1% per year to 3% per year. A 10-year growth average of 3% per year means it would take 24 years for property values to double  - and property buyers want much better than that. In the iconic suburb of Twin Waters, the median house price had dropped 13% in the previous 12 months and the long-term growth average was just 2% a year. The vacancy rate for Mooloolaba at that time was above 3%, the precinct around Kawana and Minyama was 3.5% and at Noosa it was above 6%. Why would anyone want to buy there in 2020? You would have to be mad, right? But anyone who DID follow our recommendation, and bought on the Sunshine Coast in 2020, would have experienced, in the next three years, some of the most spectacular capital growth anywhere in Australia. The median house price at Coolum Beach rose from $700,000 in mid-2020 to $1.35 million today – and median unit price rose from $450,000 to $800,000. The median house price at Sunshine Beach rose from around $1.5 million at the start of 2020 to $3.5 million by the start of 2022. It more than doubled in two years! And the median unit price rose from $800,000 in 2020 to $1.5 million today. At Twin Waters, which had such a poor record in 2020, the median house price rose from $800,000 to $1.5 million by mid-2022. There are many, similar, examples throughout the Sunshine Coast market. So, WHY did we recommend a location with such as bad track record in 2020? Because we didn't care about the past, we were focussed on the future.  Infrastructure projects totalling over $20 BILLION were under way or in planning. It was a no-brainer that this would transform the Sunshine Coast market – and it did. Here's another example. We were recommending locations in Perth in editions of the Best Buys report in 2021 – three years ago.  The April 2021 edition of the report featured the City of Rockingham, an affordable bayside precinct in the south of Greater Perth. At that time, most suburbs of Rockingham had long-term capital growth rates of MINUS 1% or 2% per year. In other words, prices there were LOWER in 2021 than they were 10 years earlier! Why on earth would anyone recommend a location where property owners had lost money for the previous decade? Because we could see THE CHANGE coming – in that location and in Perth generally. In the suburb of Golden Bay, the long-term capital growth average in early 2021 was -2% per year. The median house price, then, was $330,000. Today it's $515,000 – it's risen almost 60% in three years. At Port Kennedy, it's gone from $350,000 to $550,000. There's been a similar outcome for every suburb in the City of Rockingham in the past three years. But at the time we recommended it, these locations had capital growth records that were among the WORST in the nation. Now, here's the key thing:- Most real estate consumers would rather buy in an area where prices have grown 50% or 60% in the past two or three years, than buy in an area where prices have shown little growth recently. There are far more people wanting to buy in Perth NOW, at the peak of the boom, than there were in 2021 before the boom started. This makes little sense to the team at Hotspotting. We would rather buy in a location with strong future growth credentials when that market is DOWN, than when it's at its peak. But many investors, it seems, need the APPARENT security provided by recent high growth. That attitude, we believe, shows a lack of understanding of real estate dynamics and fundamentals. Here's the key learning from this:  DO NOT let a poor track record prevent you from buying in an area that has future growth potential. The past is often irrelevant. What matters is the FUTURE.  

The most successful property investors that I know have some features in common and making decisions based on research is one of the key ones. But those people are relatively rare. It seems to me, from observing the behaviour of investors for the past four decades, that more people make investment decisions based on media soundbites than on genuine research. Far too many people are leaping recklessly into the Perth property market because mainstream media keeps telling them that prices are booming and will keep on booming, backed by commentary from real estate people who have a vested interest in prolonging the Perth boom for as long as possible. At Hotspotting, we think this media soundbite approach is fraught with peril and that many of the people piling into the Perth market at the moment will regret their decisions, made in haste without proper due diligence. It's a reflection of those views that the new edition of the National Top 10 Best Buys report does not include any locations in Perth. Based on detailed research, we think this market has peaked and will not be the national leader on price growth in 2024, as many are predicting – or hoping. We think there are other, better places for people to be putting their money – safer, less volatile, less heated markets with good potential for capital growth. Our choices for good locations to buy in 2024 are based on research-based knowledge of the key trends that are driving demand in the best locations across Australia. We're not focused on short-term sugar-hit gains – rather we're focussed on places we think will do well in the medium to long term. We base our choices on economic factors, on demographic trends and on the locations of influence from big infrastructure developments. At Hotspotting, we are constantly on the look-out for evidence of change in property market trends and in individual locations. Places that have been weak performers on capital growth in the past can become the leaders of the future, because something major has changed in that market – often caused by the development of major new infrastructure. Sometimes it's a significant demographic shift – such as the trend which has seen growing numbers of people leaving the biggest cities and moving to smaller cities or to regional areas, in search of a different and more affordable lifestyle, enabled by technology. More recently, we have observed a surge in demand for units and townhouses by a range of different buyer cohorts, for a host of different reasons – and this is changing one of the dominant paradigms of real estate – that houses outperform units on capital growth. All of these factors are reflected in our new edition of the National Top 10 Best Buys report. It's our most popular report, because it's the one that considers all the events and trends happening across Australia – and identifies the markets with the best prospects for future capital growth.

The new Summer edition of The Price Predictor Index shows that residential real estate in 2023 has defied the dire predictions of economists and commentators who told us that house prices would drop at least 15% because interest rates were rising. Sales activity and prices have become stronger as the year has evolved. Our analysis shows that markets throughout the nation are overwhelmingly upbeat: 71% of suburbs have positive sales activity trends, led by the 31% of locations which we classify as rising markets and the 26% which are recovering markets. Only 4% of suburbs are ranked as declining markets. There are numerous municipalities nationwide where virtually every suburb has a positive (rising, recovering or consistency) ranking in our analysis of sales activity trends and many outstanding precincts failed to make our National Top 10 Municipalities list because there were so many worthy candidates. The rise of the three biggest cities, described in our Spring edition three months ago, has gathered further impetus. Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney all have 84-87% of their suburbs with positive momentum in their markets, a dramatic turnaround since the start of calendar 2023. But next in the national rankings are Regional Queensland, Regional South Australia, Regional WA and Regional Victoria, indicating that markets outside of the capital cities continue to deliver growth. Overall, there is more powerful momentum in the cities than the regions. Seven of our National Top 10 Municipalities are capital city precincts - and 72 of the National Top 100 Supercharged Suburbs are located in capital cities. Sydney is stronger than Regional NSW at present, Melbourne is outpointing Regional Victoria and Brisbane is (slightly) ahead of Regional Queensland. The dominant trend in 2023 has been recovery, initially, and then strong upward trajectories with sales volumes - but not everywhere is on board with the resurgence. As Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and several regional markets move into overdrive, Canberra and Darwin are stuck in neutral and Perth - after being a nation-leading growth market for three years - is now in reverse. The Perth market is showing the first signs of fading and has lost its position as a national growth leader (although it will take time before it shows up in the price data). The Canberra market is the weakest we have recorded in the eight years of these quarterly surveys and the Darwin market has little energy (CommSec in the State of the States report ranks the ACT and the Northern Territory as the nation's weakest economies). This confirms that property markets are local in nature and it's rare to see all markets moving in the same direction and at the same speed. Currently, the top 5 markets (Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Regional Queensland and Regional SA) are very strong and the bottom 3 (Canberra, Darwin and Regional Tasmania) are rather weak. One of the key findings of our surveys in 2023 has been the emergence of unit markets and this trend has taken on greater force as the year has progressed. Suburbs where apartments dominate the dwelling mix are among the most powerful markets in Australia. The National Top 100 list of Supercharged Suburbs includes 24 in Greater Sydney, of which half are locations dominated by units. Inner-city suburbs in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth also feature prominently on this list, while the National Top 10 Municipalities list includes the City of Melbourne, the City of Sydney and the Brisbane- inner precinct - as well as Gold Coast City, where a sizeable proportion of buyer demand is directed towards apartments. The dominant paradigm of real estate (that houses on land show superior capital growth to apartments ) is being challenged. While recovery, revival and resurgence are the dominant themes of Australian property markets, there are (as always) notable exceptions. The most striking absentees from the lists of market jurisdictions where sales activity is strong are some of Australia's most iconic Sea Change locations: Byron Bay, the Sunshine Coast, the Mornington Peninsula and the Central Coast. The common feature of those four locations is that they experienced extraordinary uplift during the so- called Covid Boom and indeed overshot realistic market values in some cases. The median price for Byron Bay more than doubled in three years, upmarket Sunshine Coast suburbs like Sunshine Beach achieved similar astronomical growth, while the Mornington Peninsula was the Victorian equivalent. It's significant that while the upsurge across Greater Melbourne has been felt in almost every market sector, the Mornington Peninsula is a stark exception. The Gold Coast is again a growth market but the Sunshine Coast is lagging. These places are having longer and deeper corrections than other parts of the country. So those are the highlights – but's there's so much more in the Summer 2023-24 edition of The Price Predictor Index. It provides a ranking for every major suburb and town in Australia and alerts you to the markets that are likely to show good price growth – and warns you of the ones to avoid. It's justifiably one of our most popular reports and not to be missed by anyone wanting to plan a real estate move in 2024.

The history of residential real estate in Australia is, in one sense, a story of defiance. Economists and journalists keep predicting dire outcomes and property markets keep proving them wrong. 2023 has provided a wonderful case study for that. The year began with a plethora of predictions from the usual suspects – senior economists working for the Big 4 banks, the nation's worst real estate forecaster Shane Oliver from AMP Capital, and a host of others. The common feature of their forecasts was that prices, they said, would fall in 2023.

Following the multiple interest rate rises of the past year, more and more property investorsare seeking to buy in places that offer high rental yields. The good news is that, even with significantly higher interest rates, if you select the right locations you can find properties with rental yields high enough to cover all your costs of ownership. And you can achieve this without high-risk strategies like buying in mining towns. To cater for this growing demand from investors seeking positive cashflow in a high-interest- rate environment, we have created a new report: The National Top 10 Hotspots for Positive Cashflow Properties.

More and more credible analysts are suggesting that residential property prices will grow in 2023. At Hotspotting we certainly believe that most locations will deliver some level of price growth in the coming year. So, how to determine the best places to focus your attention, to take advantage of the growth that's coming to Australian real estate? Many of the answers lie in the pages of Hotspotting's two most popular reports, which are being published now to provide guidance on where you're likely to find growth. Our new 2023 edition of National Top 10 Best Buys has just been published and so too has the Summer 2022-23 edition of The Price Predictor Index.
