Amid the market volatility, some cities continue to reel, while others have picked up swiftly thanks to a combination of state & local policies as well as demographic and economic factors.
According to property experts, South Australia’s cosmopolitan coastal capital Adelaide is among those showing signs of growth.
Adelaide shows excellent potential for investors who want to buy and hold
For me, there are many great reasons to consider Adelaide and its suburbs as a potential investment hotspot in 2021.
Most Consistent Property Market
Historical data suggests that it continues to perform at a very stable level. Compared with Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, Adelaide is more affordable with strong projected growth. While analysing the charts, I don’t see tremendous lows, or enormous highs.
It is one of the top reasons why Adelaide is a perfect choice for long-term investments. Please refer to the below Property prices chart.
On top of that, the low-interest rate, improving economic conditions and quick response to control the COVID-19 situation make Adelaide one of the most sought-after options among property investors.
The median house price is $680,000, and the median unit price is $500,000, making Adelaide one of the most affordable places in the country.
Adelaide House price: Annual capital growth 3.10%, Median price of $680,000, Weekly median advertised rent $450.
Adelaide Unit price: Annual capital growth 2.68%, Median price of $500,000, Weekly median advertised rent $440.
If cash flow is your primary objective, buying an investment property in Adelaide might be your best bet.
Rental yields are not only strong, but they have improved steadily with time and are set to stay on that trajectory.
- The gross rental yield for houses is 3.44%.
- The gross rental yield for units is 4.58%.
