Buying Property with Growth in Mind

Buying a property is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make, and it's about more than just finding a home that feels right. It's also about investing wisely in your future. Some areas consistently show better value growth over time, and understanding what drives that growth can help you maximise your return.

As Berry Everitt, CEO of the Chas Everitt International property group, explains, "The best-performing areas are typically those closest to centres of economic activity. They also offer excellent civic amenities, good schools, shopping and recreational areas, short commuting times, and a high level of security. These include heritage suburbs near older CBDs and newer hubs created by decentralisation."

Top-growth areas are often pricey, but you don't need to break the bank to make a smart investment. The secret? Focus on the areas next door. "It's a good idea to look at immediately adjacent suburbs," Everitt advises. "These areas are often the first to benefit as demand in top suburbs exceeds the supply of homes for sale. Look for neighbourhoods where residents are upgrading their homes or where turnover is low - that's a sign people are happy to stay."

While growth potential is key, buying a home isn't just a financial decision. Your quality of life matters, too. A strong community spirit, low crime rates, and effective local governance can all add to your living experience and enhance the long-term value of your investment.
