Thankfully Australia has managed to weather the economic downturn quite well. Along with Canada they have felt the ‘credit crunch’ allot less than other countries around the world. Due to stricter lending rules and more land available to build homes, Australia did not see the ‘Boom’ which other countries experienced in 2004 - 2006.
Financial specialists seem to think that next year property prices will fall by between 5 and 10% and an increase on values will not be seen until at least 2011.
Unfortunately debt is at an all time high in Australia and buyers will decrease as people simply cannot afford to get into more debt. Employment, property price stability and the global economy are other factors that will also affect the Australian property market.
Throughout Australia, unemployment rates are rising. Due to the global economy many businesses are playing safe and many full time employees have been changed to part time thus saving the company on wages, tax and health care expenses. Redundancies will also increase if the economy does not pick up.
Thankfully during 2009, Australia property market managed to maintain a solid ground and if the Australian Government can keep interest rates low and hold back on repossessions then an increase on property prices should be seen in a couple of years.
The Australian banks seem to be working with their customers to help bring back the economy and are allowing customers to keep hold of their homes. If banks hold large amounts of overvalued repossessions then the market will surely suffer.
In all, Australia seems to have ridden the storm rather well. Both commercial and residential properties are still being bought by overseas buyers with the added bonus of additional taxes and fees being fairly low in the country for property owners.
Foreign investment is important to any countries economy. Australia has therefore made purchasing property fairly straightforward. Although agreement has to be sought from the Australia Government, which can be timely but straightforward, but after that the process is fairly simple.
Whether you are buying residential properties or commercial properties, Australia will no doubt ride the storm for the next few years and will prove to be a good country to invest in.
