Best play. Many overseas investors are now looking to investing in Australia - a developed country that avoided a recession over the testing period called the Global Financial Crisis.
Overseas managed funds are buying Australian real estate to form core assets in their porfolios.
The Australian dollar has been rising and it may be more expensive later for overseas investors to secure Australian assets.
Australia is a major commodity and energy supplier that is positioned close to the power houses of economic growth : the Asian economies and China - all requiring the resources that Australia can offer.
Marc Faber, the Hong Kong based investment guru was reported to best play the China growth story by buying shares in companies that supplies to China. Many of these companies are Australian mining and energy companies.
So, could Australian properties be in the 'best play' ?
While Australia is in the sight of the conscientious overseas investors, Australian residential properties continue to hold to underlying fundamentals that make investing in residentail properties as a long term investment a suitable consideration for providing returns expected by investors in income and capital growth.
In a summary in their August 2009 article, Australian property researcher Matusik provided a summary which highlights the underlying fundamentals that continue to support residential property investments in Australia :
-
population 21.5million, to grow 8% or 1.6million next 5 years
-
70% live in and around our capitals
-
capital conglomerations to capture 80% growth
-
330,000 annual population increase
-
aging population
-
need to create 155,000 new dwellings per annum
-
market under supplied, especially attached stock
-
potential demand for more alternate product
-
housing still largely unaffordable to buy
