Market Update – Sydney Property News

Despite another recent interest rate rise in what many consider a gloomy market, it’s also a buying opportunity period for savvy investors.

Undervalued Sydney apartments may well be the hottest growth investment for the next few years, according to the latest report released by Australian Property Monitors.  Manager Michael McNamara had this to say:

“Sydney house and unit values have been the laggard of the Australian property market for over 4 years now. With Sydney apartments looking so cheap compared to other capitals (Melbourne,Canberra, Perth and Brisbane apartments are within 15% of Sydney values), and assuming there is a transfer of cash from stocks to other asset classes, we have Sydney apartments as our number one pick for growth over the next few years”

With rents rising, especially in high demand areas, the future looks brighter for growth of well placed investment units here in Sydney.
