Kevin<\/b>:\u00a0 A regular feature in the show and \u2013 I know \u2013 one that\u2019s very popular is where we look at different suburbs around Australia that are moving or where you can get the best buys. We\u2019re going to look at SouthEast Queensland, specifically, into Brisbane. Where are the best buys under $500,000?
\nJoining us is Shannon Davis from Metropole Properties in Brisbane. Okay, our shopping list, Shannon, what can you recommend we look at buying under $500,000 in Brisbane?
\nShannon<\/b>:\u00a0 Kevin, the first one I\u2019d say is just a New Farm apartment. I think if you can get a New Farm, say, a special one bedder, or you might sneak a two bedder still, there\u2019s a really high owner-occupier demand. The market share always has more people wanting to buy than sell, and for people moving interstate, New Farm is always one at the top of their lists as a suburb to move into. It matches their type of living [0:47 inaudible]<\/b>.
\nFor that reason, our investors have enjoyed great capital growth in those areas, and it\u2019s still amazing to see its run this year, as well.
\nKevin<\/b>:\u00a0 What sort of profile are we looking at in that area for a tenant?
\nShannon<\/b>:\u00a0 You have young professionals, some empty-nesters that don\u2019t want to move away, and you have lots of people in shares. They\u2019re either walking to the CBD or driving and perhaps catching a ferry. But more importantly, it has everything that they want in recreation, such as green space, restaurants, pubs, and even clubs not far, as well.
\nKevin<\/b>:\u00a0 Okay, New Farm apartments. Where\u2019s another area in Brisbane for under $500,000?
\nShannon<\/b>:\u00a0 I would move a little bit further out. If we wanted to get a house, a suburb such as Aspley, you can get something perhaps with renovation potential and a slightly larger block \u2013 607. There\u2019s still really great capital growth in that suburb. It\u2019s well located to the airport, the freeway, and good schools, as well.
\nKevin<\/b>:\u00a0 Anything in townhouses?
\nShannon<\/b>:\u00a0 Townhouses: we have a really good track on it right now. They\u2019re capturing people upsizing and capturing people downsizing. You can get a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car park. A suburb like Coorparoo offers great value, has the upgrade from the Eastern Busway and the old Myer Center there. Really popular, again, with the demographics without kids. You have a strong lineup of tenants.
\nKevin<\/b>:\u00a0 Anything a little bit closer in, Shannon?
\nShannon<\/b>:\u00a0 Likewise, on the north side, Wooloowin is a suburb with plenty of upside. It\u2019s a train station suburb. It halves the distance between the airport and the CBD, and that\u2019s really popular. It has a good school catchment and some excellent green spaces around the Melrose vicinity in Kalinga Park there.
\nKevin<\/b>:\u00a0 Okay, a New Farm apartment, a Wooloowin townhouse, also a Coorparoo townhouse, and an Aspley house \u2013 good buying under $500,000 in Brisbane. Our man on the ground there has been Shannon Davis from Metropole Properties.
\nThanks, Shannon. Thanks for your time.
\nShannon<\/b>:\u00a0 No worries, Kevin. Any time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
