House land values in different States! Melbourne Boom!

Today,’I am researching why is Melbourne booming? I have noticed that the cost of land is so much cheaper in Melbourne. Obviously, this impacts the home final value. In fact it has a compounding effect. Popular press note from the REIV, that the development of house lots in Sydney 2008 at 2,100 in Melbourne at 16,020 in Brisbane at 11,000. The comparable development charges per lot at $99,800, $29,750, $43,238.
I claim this goes a long way to explaining the lower cost of house and land packages in Melbourne. Melbourne has plenty of acccessible and nearly flat land in the Western, Northern and South East growth corridors. This goes a long way to explaining the cost of a House and land package at $600,00 in Sydney, compares to $320,000 in Melbourne.
I claim Melbourne is winning a rising rate of interstate immigration from home buyers.
The Victorian government is moving to doubling the Infrastucture capital works levy on land. Surely this can only increase the cost of land.

Melbourne house property growth boom!

Today, we are reading about the growth of Melbourne and wondering ,WHY?
Well, I suggest the biggest surprising factor is employment growth. Melbourne is growing through both longer work hours and more employment. Melbourne is benefiting from interstate migration, as the other states have been either mismanaged at the government level or harder hit by the world financial crisis and subsequent downturn in world trade and growth. The factors of economic rationalism has driven rational families and workers into Victoria. Victoria has a more stable and more investment minded government. The basic services of schools, Hospitals, Universities, roads is better provided in Victoria. The current and soon to be revealed plans of the state government are aggressively in favour of growth and development. The topography of a flat city with lots of adjacent vacant land provides for cheaper land development. Victorians has benefited from the builders and developers negotiating a better deal for the First Home Owners Grant in Victoria, such that ,we are winning 40 % of these grants, while, Victoria only represents 25 % of the Australian economy.
New capital works include , M1 Monash upgrade $1.4 Bn, Eastlink road opened 2008 cost $2.4 Bn, Western ring road $1.32 bn, Rail Duplication City to west Werribee, includes three new stations, $2.4 bn, New Melbourne to Sunshine freeway, cost $5.4 bn, two new rail station on the Pakenham line,likely doubling of trains numbers cost ?
The secret is Empoyment growth in Victoria!!!

An Idea on the Melbourne house property boom? Why ?
April 14, 2010 by Tim
Filed under Finance, First Home Buyers, property market, Renovating, tips
Today, newspapers are reporting week after week of rising Melbourne home values and premiums achieved at auction. What does it all mean ?
1 The population of Melbourne is booming by growing at 1800 a week.
2 This is considered to be double that of only five years ago.
3 Builders are having difficulty finding finance. They are not building enough to meet the house demand.
4 The changed FIRB {Foreign Investment Review Board} guidelines for foreign buyers, has allowed a sudden rise is in overseas buyers. In some areas, these new buyers can account for up to one third of all buyers. This is having a disproportionate effect at the public auction sales.
5 Why is Melbourne so popular? Well all the factors we have always know are becoming more important. Melbourne has great tertiary education institutions, and compared to Sydney, stronger State government leadership!, better public transport {Melbourne is to build several new train stations}, much cheaper land, better hospitals, easier roads congestion and great beaches. I argue there is major interstate immigration from other Australian states. This will take time to be confirmed with government statistics. Then we will be increasingly, be made aware, just why so many Sydney developers including FKP, Devine, Mirvac, Lend Lease, have moved their emphasis of land and homes development to Melbourne.
6 One can still buy a brand new 3 Bed room brick home for around $ 310,000, in Carrum Downs, Skye, Pakenham, Wyndhan Vale, Melton or Tarneit, where similar homes in Sydney would be $600,000.

Design, Idea your Finanicial Future thru small Investment homes

Currently, reading about many ways to tackle the investment property home market.
1 Buying Aged Care units with a high yield, and modest capital growth prospects. Its self funding strategy. Most western countries have an aging population as, so called Baby Boomers are nearing retirement.
2 Buying within easy walking distance of excellent public transport like a railway station, or tram stop, even where a new train station is expected. In Melbourne, its a hot strategy to buy where the tram lines have recently been extended. In outer areas, the housing estates adjacent to a new rail line or walk to a new station are selling extra well. The theory being one can expect few new lines, but expectation of more trains on current lines.
3 Buy in mining towns where the miners are highly paid and mobile, providing an excellent rental market at a good yield.
4 Buy inner city apartments, as the numbers of single households continually expand. There is a greater concentration of entertainment in the inner city and more government services and transport.
5 Buy Historical homes within the inner and middle ring suburbs, as they are not building any more Historical homes.
6 Buy in beachside retirement areas, where the bulge of retirement buyers are expected to move into in future years.
All these are interesting strategies. I am not recommending one over another. Sufficient to say if one can buy and renovate in areas where ” there will be continually rising demand”, you should be well.

Reading the popular press one will notice all sorts of “reasons” why house prices are rising,
1 Immigration is above many expectations adding to the total population growth of 435,000 last year. While the resources states of QLD and WA are the fastest growing, somewhat suprizingly, Victoria is also growing fast.
2 Melbourne, in Victoria had the fastest price rise with house values up 19% over 2009.
3 Some experts are now quoting returning expatriate workers are boosting the market. Readers will be familiar with this theme. Where, I claim some 900,000 Australians are working overseas. Given Australia is one of the fastest growing developed countries a fair portion must be expected to return, as Australian income tax has fallen and the A Dollar is up.
So much more FREE stuff from the free ebook.
4 Recently, some of the government plans to double public transport for instance is generating confidence in Victoria.
