Despite recent slowdowns in the housing market, latest finance data confirms activity in the residential investment market is a safe bet and popular strategy over the long-term.
CoreLogic RP Data’s ‘Accumulation Index’, which has been published since June 2009, highlights the total returns from residential property – including both the increase in values as well as gross rental returns.
It’s important to note that whilst the combined capital city home values recorded a drop over the 2011-12 period, it’s clear to see the total returns were only negative for a very short period of time, thanks to an uplift in rental yields.
More recently you can see that the total returns over the combined capital cities has remained positive and quite strong, averaging around the 10% mark for both houses and units.
Importantly, when you combine this knowledge with market research, due diligence and professional guidance, the chances of securing a safe & promising long-term investment improve substantially.
