Why investing in Adelaide makes sense
Adelaide's property market is traditionally more stable than other Australian capital cities, making it one of the safest housing markets to invest in.
CONSISTENTLY STABLE HOUSING GROWTH
Adelaide's property market is traditionally more stable than other Australian capital cities, making it one of the safest housing markets to invest in.
It has also proven to be less volatile to market fluctuations, as evident through the COVID-19 pandemic and the Global Financial Crisis.
Because migration isn’t a fundamental factor driving housing demand, it is expected Adelaide’s sales and rental market will be more insulated to price drops during boarder closures in 2020.
PREDICTED TO OUTPERFORM OTHER CAPTIAL CITIES IN 2021
Adelaide is the second most affordable capital city in Australia and one of the few cities to record positive price growth in the April – June 2020 quarter during the COVID-19 pandemic.
ANZ Bank predicts the Adelaide housing market to be one of only two capital cities that will experience positive price growth in 2021, with values predicted to rise by 2 per cent.
STRONG RENTAL MARKET
Adelaide is an attractive location for property investors providing consistently strong gross rental yields over the past decade.
The rental market has remained solid through the pandemic with June 2020 figures revealing Adelaide to be one of the few cities to achieve positive rental house price growth.
It also recorded the 3rd highest unit gross rental yield nationally at 5.3 per cent. And, had one of the lowest combined rental vacancy rates nationally at an astonishing 1 per cent, compared to 3.8 per cent in Sydney and 3 per cent in Melbourne.
