  • Ipswich in Nation's Top 10 Property Hotspots
    Ipswich in Nation’s top 10 property hotspots JESSIE RICHARDSON | 26 AUGUST 2014 IPSWICH real estate capital growth is tipped to double the return of Brisbane properties in three years, experts predict. The property market’s recovery is expected to continue this year with signs of brighter future on the horizon. But the three-year outlook is promising, according to real estate analyst and hotspotting.com.au founder Terry Ryder. Mr Ryder expects the capital growth of Ipswich properties to rise by 15% over the next three years, compared with 7.5% in Brisbane properties. Whether or not Ipswich does perform as expected remains to be seen, but I have long viewed the city as one with great investment opportunity and in a real estate investment market that is still a little hit and miss at the moment, all indicators are that Ipswich is one of the safer bets in 2013. Big projects coming for Ipswich, in Brisbane's south west, include the $2.8 billion Ipswich Motorway Upgrade, $12 billion Springfield project, the $1.5 billion Springfield rail link and the Orion shopping centre, along with expansions to the RAAF base, and large industrial estates. Ryder also claims the area has a strong economy, with multiple employment hubs and affordable properties. "The Ipswich corridor is now well-known as a growth region. Prices rose strongly in the five years to 2009 (before tapering off), giving the suburbs of Ipswich City the strongest capital growth averages in the Greater Brisbane region," writes Ryder. "Ipswich has shown strong growth in the past but we believe its evolution into a headline hotspot of national standing will continue well into the future.
