Invest in Brisbane

Shares or property?

• The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index was off more than 14 percent for the quarter — and more than 10 percent for the year so far.
• The Dow ended the quarter down 12 percent and the Nasdaq lost 13 percent.
• ASX index of shares fell 13% in the September quarter; down over 15% for the year to date.

"The market has fallen over 15 per cent so far in 2011, putting it on course for the second sharpest annual fall in 2 decades and the heightened volatility has led strategists to take a cautious view -- despite historic low valuations."

Real estate investments are far less volatile than shares.

According to RP Data, Brisbane apartment prices increased 3% in the quarter ending August 2011 and prices are flat year to date.  RP Data believes Brisbane real estate is at the bottom of the market.  There is a significant price difference between Brisbane and the Southern capitals.  Rent yields are increasing.  It would appear that now is a good time to buy in Brisbane.

Before buying an investment property in Brisbane, read Investing in Brisbane Apartments - A Guide for Successful Investing.  You can read this ebook using a free Kindle Reading App, or you can buy a Kindle reader for use in Australia.
