Image by Th3rd Dimension Media The local real estate market got an adrenaline boost this BRISBANE’S EXECUTIVE RENTAL LISTINGS week as unheard of interest rates were released to the market. 2.99% interest only loans were put out to the market from the Bank of Adelaide and investment loans at 3.15%. Both fixed for up to 5 years!!

In my 20+ years in the local market I have never seen money this cheap and with the banks offering to fix for that long there is suspicion that they believe the reserve bank might lower the cash rate even further.

$1750 p/w $1700 p/w It was only 12 months ago we were in a Royal Banking BRAND NEW HOME IN RIVER PRECINCT INNER CITY TROPICAL OASIS Commission, Apra was restricting lending and while 32 Griffith Street, New Farm 80 Gloucester Street, South Brisbane rates were actually low, getting the money was hard.

4 3 2 5 4 3 That has all changed.

I was talking to a first home buyer about it this week. The buyer has saved some money, about $40,000, and their parents were happy to support them if required. They requested some general advice about whether it was a good idea to buy.

I queried on their current rent, “I’m paying $220 per week in a share house” was their reply. So we did the math. $220p/w over 1 year is $11,440, which when divided $875 p/w $760 p/w by 2.99% gives you a borrowing capacity of $380,000. STUNNING VIEWS FROM NEAR NEW APT NEAR NEW DESIGNER HOME Stay with me... Add back the $40,000 deposit, factor in 1/170 Bowen Terrace, New Farm 14 Marita St, Lutwyche for mortgage insurance and you can buy a property for 2 2 2 3 2 2 about $400,000 - $410,000 without spending any more than your rent. A quick search on realestate.com.au for 2 bedroom apartments up to $425,000, shows 139 apartments available in New Farm and the surrounding suburbs. If they rented out the second room, they would have enough money for rates, fees and maintenance. Add to that the incredible value in the apartment market after significant price reductions in recent years and you have a market primed for growth.

If you’ve heard market commentators talking local capital $700 p/w growth, it is largely off the back of equations like this. $750 p/w CHIC MODERN HOME FURNISHED & 2 WEEKS RENT FREE Prices have normalised, money is cheap, and 6 Windsor St, Hamilton 176/420 Queen Street, Brisbane infrastructure is being built. These pillars are too big 4 2 2 2 2 1 to ignore. So my simple answer to them was “talk to a broker today, get pre-approved and buy something”.
