Kevin:\u00a0<\/b> Bryce Holdaway from Location Location Location Australia<\/i> on Foxtel joins me once again. He\u2019s also a partner in EmpowerWealth.com.au.
\nBryce, talking specifically about the Sydney market, do you think it\u2019s too late to be getting into the Sydney market because it\u2019s so hot?
\nBryce:\u00a0<\/b> For anyone in particular who is thinking about being a first-time investor under the fear of missing out, I\u2019d certainly suggest Sydney isn\u2019t the place for them to be dipping their toe in the water. They\u2019ve had double-digit growth, above-average annual growth, for the last couple of years, and with over 80% clearance rates, I think there\u2019s a challenge in that it might be well and truly getting to the top end of the cycle.
\nBack in the boom of 2001 and 2003, Sydney did something similar, but then from 2004 to 2007 it tracked sideways for quite some time. I think that would have been a challenge for the people who were holding real estate that time period.
\nKevin:\u00a0<\/b> Is Sydney unique in that?
\nBryce:\u00a0<\/b> No. I guess Australia is not one big marketplace. Perth in particular is in for a bit of a tough time, but it has been going great over the last couple of years. I think if as an investor, you see Australia as not being just one big marketplace but made up of hundreds of submarkets, if you\u2019re prepared to be a borderless investor and move your money around the cities and states that have the best chance of being in the right part of the cycle, over a period of ten years, you can give yourself the best chance of getting the maximum out of the market rather than just staying in your own backyard and waiting for time to just be your friend.
\nKevin:\u00a0<\/b> It is very comfortable, though, to buy in your own backyard. It\u2019s an area that you know, you\u2019re familiar with it, and therefore you\u2019re minimizing your chances of making a mistake. To become a borderless investor, do you recommend traveling to the area as well as doing your research?
\nBryce:\u00a0<\/b> If you\u2019re not getting professional advice or professional help, absolutely. Buying property on the Internet I reckon is fraught with danger. I\u2019ve mentioned it to you before. It\u2019s like checking out your friends on Facebook: they only put the good stuff up. You actually need to be on the ground to see what the market conditions are like, talk to the agents, and get a feel for the area for yourself.
\nBut if you\u2019re getting professional advice, I help clients buy interstate and I would say seven out of ten don\u2019t actually see the property before they buy. They well and truly see it afterwards but not before.
\nKevin:\u00a0<\/b> For someone who wants to become a borderless investor, what are the research steps you have for them, Bryce?
\nBryce:\u00a0<\/b> First of all, I\u2019d actually suggest that you look at the country from a telescope perspective rather than a microscope perspective. What I\u2019m doing is using history as a precedent. I mentioned before that Sydney in 2001 to 2003 did really well, but in 2004 to 2007, it tracked sideways. If I have a look historically, I can see from that 2004 to 2007 period Brisbane actually went really well. Then after 2007, it dipped down a little bit, and then from 2007 Melbourne started to do really well.
\nI think that something that we can learn from the past is Brisbane, for example, tends to lag behind the two bigger cities of Melbourne and Sydney historically. That\u2019s the case right now, where Melbourne and Sydney have done well over the last two or three years and Brisbane hasn\u2019t.
\nI think there\u2019s an opportunity to see that history may repeat itself in that regard and to look to that city before you start getting specific about what suburbs and what types of property you want to buy.
\nKevin:\u00a0<\/b> Looking at Brisbane for a moment, it may not have performed as well as Sydney and Melbourne in the short-term, but over the long-term it\u2019s a fairly consistent performer, isn\u2019t it?
\nBryce:\u00a0<\/b> It is, but over the last five years, it has done next to nothing. I\u2019m buying properties now for clients where they are actually buying at not too dissimilar prices to what someone paid back in 2007 and 2008. They\u2019ve been tracking sideways for a little while, but I think the part of the cycle is right and you\u2019re actually getting really good yield in that market, as well.
\nIt\u2019s never a bad idea to hold good quality real estate in Sydney and Melbourne because they\u2019re world cities. They\u2019re major metropolises with plenty of opportunities. Jobs are always at a peak in those two cities.
\nBut right now, I think for those experienced investors who have maybe enjoyed some of the benefits of Sydney and Melbourne over the last couple of years or even someone who is dipping their toe in for the first time, potentially a city like Brisbane might offer them better opportunity for the next couple of years.
\nKevin:\u00a0<\/b> One of the other lessons you\u2019ve learned, as well, is there is no one market even in Brisbane. You can\u2019t just say that all Brisbane stock is good stock. There are some good areas and some bad ones.
\nBryce:\u00a0<\/b> I would agree. I would certainly prefer to stay closer in to moving further out, because if Brisbane starts to get a bit of sentiment to where people are moving there, you might get some good movement in the next 12 to 18 months, but long-term, although Brisbane is largely becoming a metropolis where more multinationals want to locate there, they\u2019re still lagging a little bit behind the job opportunities that you can get in Melbourne and Sydney. I would certainly want to stay closer into the CBD rather than getting caught up on being too far out.
\nKevin:\u00a0<\/b> Always good talking to you. Bryce Holdaway, thank you very much for your time, mate.
\nBryce:\u00a0<\/b> Pleasure, Kevin. Any time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
