An analysis by the Australian National University academics Ben Philips and Cukkoo Joseph has identified Wyong on the Central Coast as the most undersupplied housing location in NSW and the second most under-supplied housing area in Australia. The modelling drew on census population figures to estimate the underlying demand for housing at the regional level. Of the 328 statistical areas studied nationwide, 250 were found to have a housing surplus while 78 had a shortage. The paper looked at population growth and demographic change in Australia’s 328 regions called “statistical area level 3” by the Bureau of Statistics and analysed how well the new supply of housing meets the demand in those areas. This research represents Australia’s first published regional analysis of housing demand and supply the report said.  

We received some great feedback from the people who attend the “Affordable Property Investment Events” in Gosford and Penrith.

“The content was great – new ideas – great opportunities; early material on trends and principals of investing.”

“Very informative; I am a first time home investor. The information has been extremely helpful.”

If you are a first-time investor, thinking about investing yourself and are unsure about where to invest or what to buy. Alternatively, you are an experienced investor and want to hear about upcoming suburbs that are going to have significant capital growth. You must not miss out attending one of our events.

SYDNEY property prices have become too steep for many buyers, and the Central Coast is fast becoming the not-so-secret alternative. Mr Starr said that in recent times there has been a dramatic shift in the area. He said there has been a huge increase in families over the past few years, and he said he expects this to continue as the area gains popularity. "Housing has become almost unaffordable for most people in Sydney." Sydneysiders see value in moving to the area as an alternative to Sydney’s outer suburbs."

Our research of the Central Coast region continues to translate into on-ground realities like the ATO Office. The Central Coast region continues to show high growth potential as the construction of the new ATO office in Gosford nears completion, and 600 new jobs are being advertised. The Federal Minister for Revenue and Financial Services Kelly O’Dwyer said, “Many of the 600 recruits would begin work later this year.” Construction to date has injected over $7.5 million into the local economy, with most of the work being completed by contractors local to the Central Coast region.

A picture says a thousand words, so we present to you pictures of our Wagga Wagga Event. Our strong ties with clients in the Riverina area continues to strengthen further. The evening also saw the attendance of many new faces, which was very encouraging.
