Adelaide Real Estate - Adelaide is the capital of South Australia and is situated on the South Coast of Australia on the banks of the River Torrens. The property market is not quite as expensive as Sydney or Melbourne but overall has performed well.  Rental property vacancies remain tight and this keeps the returns going in the upward direction for investors. Houses, units, flats and townhouses have all grown in value and as with most capital cities any land close to the CBD is at a premium.

Melbourne Real Estate - Melbourne Victoria has enjoyed a bouyant property market over the last 5 years, stong demand has driven prices up and even with the market slowing down over the last 12 to 18 months Melbourne remains an attractive market for real estate investors. Medium to long term investing in property close to the inner city of Melbourne has given a great percentage return in terms of capital growth. The improved freeway system has opened up the outer areas to the north and east, families have taken to the new housing estates which have become major growth areas, house prices have risen accordingly as have rental returns for property investors. Melbourne also has the bayside suburbs wich offer the expensive waterfront luxury properties, again these areas are popular with investors and renovators. Property investing in the second largest city in Australia should always provide good returns provided buyers take the time to do their homework.

Brisbane Real Estate -Queensland. The property market has taken off over the last 5 years and as Brisbane continues to grow the outlook remains positive. Demand for inner city units and apartments is still very strong. Trying to find a cheap house around the inner suburbs is quite a challenge, as you move out of the city then prices are more affordable and availability is not so much of an issue. Brisbane has in the past been a cheaper option that the other Australian capitals but this has changed and the average house price are no longer the bargain buys of the past.

SE Queensland is growing at an alarming rate, the demand for housing is well above the rate of supply and the demand for rental properties is is growing, good rental returns are bring investors back into the market and the cycle continues. With the Sunshine Coast to the north and the tourist magnet the Gold Coast to the south Brisbane has a lot to offer for those looking for the city lifestyle and the opportunity to hit the beaches on the weekends.
