In his\u00a0regular\u00a0weekly column on\u00a0Switzer<\/a>\u00a0John McGrath gave his thoughts on the year ahead in property.<\/strong>
\nHere\u2019s what he said:\u00a0\"mcgrath\"<\/a><\/strong>
\nThere is an old saying in Australian real estate is that property prices double every 10 years.
\nThe reason many people are sceptical of this equation is because this price doubling does not occur in a uniform line.
\nThere is no neatly rounded 10% price gain every year in every market \u2013 we see low growth years and high growth years but when you add them all up over 10, you get about double growth.
\nThis has been happening in Australia for the past century.
\nA recent CoreLogic RP Data report shows home values did indeed double \u2013 in fact they more than doubled, in the 10 years to January 2006.
\nAcross the combined capitals, home values increased by 152%.<\/p>\n

In the following 10 years to January 2016, home values didn\u2019t do as well by comparison.<\/h4>\n

They rose by 72%.
\nBut you have to remember that these are average percentages across a multitude of cities.
\nBuyers of Australian real estate should generally expect their properties to double in value every 10 years, especially in big city markets like Sydney and Melbourne; and especially if they buy well.\u00a0\"Wednesday_questions_1_15_05\"<\/a>
\nIn order to give yourself the best possible chance of doubling your money in this timeframe \u2013 or even sooner, here are the things to consider when buying:\u00a0<\/strong>
\n1.\u00a0The most important thing you can do is buy good quality properties in desirable locations close to essential amenities like schools, shops and transport
\n2.\u00a0Buy properties with features that are always going to be in demand, such as open plan living spaces and alfresco dining spaces in the backyard
\n3.\u00a0If there\u2019s room to add value, that\u2019s even better as a well-executed renovation or extension on a good quality home will enhance its value exponentially
\n4.\u00a0Good quality properties in desirable locations will typically enjoy stronger capital gains over the long term, so buy with a 10 year minimum in mind if you can
\nHere is a fantastic graphic published by CoreLogic RP Data showing how property prices have risen in each city over the past two decades.
\n\"JMgraph\"
\n 
\nThese graphs also give a few indications as to where property values are headed in the future.
\nHere are a few key insights from this data:\u00a0<\/strong>
\n1. Sydney will always be strong as the fundamentals contributing to prices rises such as undersupply, high population growth and being a hub of employment will not change\u00a0\"calculator_house_money_12_06\"<\/a>
\n2. Growth in Melbourne over the past 10 years has been outstanding and actually surpassed Sydney in both decades. Melbourne still offers better value for money than Sydney and I think its growth trajectory will continue for two reasons \u2013 it offers lots of employment just like Sydney; and it\u2019s the obvious alternative for Sydneysiders who can\u2019t afford Sydney prices
\n3. Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth are overdue for growth and stronger capital gains are likely over the decade to 2026
\nWhen we look at property over a 10 year period, it\u2019s easy to see how well people can do out of bricks and mortar. It\u2019s also a great reminder that the time to buy is always as soon as you can afford it; because no matter where we are in the cycle when you buy, the odds are you will double your money over the ensuing decade.
\nJust be conscious that it won\u2019t happen in a straight line and you have to be prepared to ride out the lacklustre years in order to enjoy the phenomenal boom years like those we\u2019ve just experienced in Sydney and Melbourne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
