LOW INTEREST RATES + HOT SYDNEY MARKET = BUY BEFORE YOU CRY!

Grab whatever coins you have left over from Christmas & pop them into 2015’s most attractive investment. Residential & Commercial Real Estate + Property Trusts are all set for stardom this year with property experts predicting a positive year for property owners & investors. With great certainty that rates will be cut again by April ’15, this will further stimulate an already hot residential/commercial market.

Here’s the predictions:

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE

The expectations are that 2015 to be another positive year for residential property owners.

With strong predictions that rates are going to be cut by April 2015, there’s also speculation they’ll be a further rate cut come June.

If such rates cuts happen, housing markets will be boosted throughout the course of the calendar year.

Real Estate Institute of Australia CEO Amanda Lynch said continuing low interest rates and the possibility of a cut should stimulate activity in the housing market.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

Commercial property investment accelerated in 2014, & 2015 is set to see more of the same with improving demand for tenants.

With the majority of sales now to Australian investors, who are now recognised as the most confident in the world.

For both offices & shopping centres, creating places that people want to visit will be increasingly important for the real estate market in 2015 & beyond.

PROPERTY TRUSTS

Property trusts, now widely known as real estate investment trusts, have delivered investment growth of 23% in the past 12 months, but several of the main players are still way below their value before they got smashed in the global financial crisis.

These stocks own everything from hotels to shopping centres to Bunnings warehouses, but their strong gains in the past year have prompted a few experts to warn of potential weakness ahead, although perhaps not next year.

AMP Capital forecasts investment returns in 2015 of about 9 per cent for Australian property trusts, the same as its forecast for Aussie shares but better than estimates for residential property (6 per cent) and cash (2.3 per cent).

Research group Morningstar says low interest rates mean downside risk to property prices in 2015 is unlikely.

A great time to sell & capitalise on a fantastic market & equally, a fantastic to buy & reap some great rewards.
