And we all know that good things eventually come to an end.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s been plenty of speculation and debate about peaks and bubbles but, with burgeoning populations, let\u2019s be honest, prices are unlikely to slide that dramatically in Australia\u2019s two largest cities. It\u2019s generally accepted though, that the booms in both cities are over.<br \/>\nSo, where to now for keen investors willing to capitalise on their equity?<br \/>\nGet out of town. No, really, get out of town!<br \/>\nSimon Pressley from market research and buyers\u2019 agency firm, Propertyology, has looked closely at a range of locations across the country and come up with a few clear favourites for future capital growth.<br \/>\n\u201cThe greatest danger in the cooling of Sydney and Melbourne markets, is that investors assume that our whole nation is off the boil. You couldn\u2019t be more wrong. Outside of Sydney and Melbourne, most of Australia has experienced very little price movement since the onset of the GFC. Their growth cycles lie ahead of us,\u201d Pressley says.<br \/>\nHundreds of thousands of Sydney and Melbourne property owners now have some good equity but the important thing is to put that to good use. Failing to do that is akin to a farmer with pocket full of seeds \u2013 we can\u2019t begin to grow our orchard until we put the seeds in the ground.<br \/>\nAccording to Pressley, investors will need to remove the blinkers to discover the most fertile soil to grow that orchard. And, he says this includes having an open mind to parts of regional Australia.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19775\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/realestatetalk.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/12.RegionalCities_Opportunities_2018-2020_Watermark.jpg?resize=973%2C567&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"973\" height=\"567\" \/><br \/>\nBut who\u2019s got the time and the expertise to know where to get top quality information to work out exactly which part of (affordable) regional Australia might be the best option?<br \/>\nThat\u2019s where a full-time property market research firm comes in remarkably handy.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertyology.com.au\/our-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Propertyology<\/a> is one of Australia\u2019s most respected property market analysts. They\u2019ve studied Australian property market history to determine the biggest influences on market performance. Research is not a hobby, it\u2019s a profession. Propertyology spends every day analysing markets all over Australia &#8211; capital cities and regions. They know how to identify growth drivers, economic trends, housing supply pipelines, infrastructure projects and more.<br \/>\nAnd, the cherry on top is that their research team work closely alongside their multi-award-winning buyer\u2019s agency team to identify the right location, to find that right property, and to negotiate the lowest price for you.<br \/>\nPropertyology were the only research analysts in Australia to predict that Hobart would have a stellar 2017 and outperform every other capital city. Pressley says that their research methodology uncovered Hobart\u2019s growth potential back in 2014 when the market was flat and the economy had been weak for several years.<br \/>\n\u201cWe backed our professional judgement and our buyer\u2019s agents helped dozens of people from all over Australia to invest in Hobart between 2014 and 2016. Those same happy clients have now experienced comparable capital growth rates to Sydney and Melbourne and higher rental returns.\u201d<br \/>\nAnd, while the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertyology.com.au\/a-boom-bigger-than-sydney-beckons-for-this-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hobart market looks likely to continue to go gangbusters<\/a> for some time yet, Pressley says that Propertyology\u2019s attention has now turned towards several regional locations across Australia that have a very exciting outlook.<br \/>\nHousing demand can be driven by a variety of forces. From new job-creating infrastructure projects, to improving economic conditions, relocating baby boomers, government policies to decentralise population, sea-change and tree-change lifestyle choices, and migration towards more affordable locations.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19776\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/realestatetalk.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/12.Your-Results-housing-affordability-372000.jpg?resize=1060%2C555&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1060\" height=\"555\" \/><br \/>\n\u201cBooms like Sydney and Melbourne generally only come around every 10 to 15 years, so it\u2019s now more important than ever to get the accumulated equity from the last few years working for you. Using that equity to invest elsewhere means taking advantage of new opportunities while also adding diversification to your property portfolio.\u201d<br \/>\nIt\u2019s common sense; any experienced investor will tell you that diversifying is always a good idea.<br \/>\n\u201cSavvy share market investors never put all their eggs into one basket. They put their money into a range of stocks across multiple industry sectors. Property investment is like being shares in a community. Propertyology\u2019s philosophy is to accumulate a diversified property portfolio by using bite-size pieces of equity (or cash savings) to purchase in multiple states, cities and regions.\u201d<br \/>\nPropertyology believes that many of the lower profile cities have a better <a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertyology.com.au\/2018-market-outlook-propertyology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">outlook for the next three years<\/a>, than the last three years. Using the same research methods today that they used to identify Hobart back in 2014, they claim to have uncovered a few new gems in parts of regional Australia.<br \/>\n\u201cWe place heavy emphasis on understanding the industry sector mix of local economies all over Australia. We draw information from lots of sources and join the dots in relation to future demand and supply. Our objective then is to help our clients buy property in these locations before the market starts to heat up, enabling them to benefit from 100 per cent of the pending growth cycle,\u201d Pressley said.<br \/>\nThe good news is the cost to get in and the cost to hold are both much lower in the regions. You can buy a brilliant investment property in the range of $300,000 to $450,000, with better growth potential and higher rental yields than something twice the price in a capital city.<br \/>\nSo, go west, or north, or south, or east \u2013 all depending, of course, on your starting \u2018Location, Location, Location\u2019.<br \/>\n\u201cIf you\u2019ve got property equity in Sydney or Melbourne, you quite simply need to broaden your horizons. Look seriously at investing in other locations \u2013 it\u2019s really a case of diversify, or die wondering!\u201d he says.<br \/>\n<strong>Propertyology is a national property market researcher and buyer\u2019s agency who buys properties exclusively for investors in <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertyology.com.au\/our-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>strategically-chosen locations all over Australia<\/strong><\/a><strong>.
