South Australia Virtually Defies Recession

2009-09-02T05:13:00.000-07:00

A recent report produced by the Australian government on South Australia’s economic performance, has revealed how strong it is performing in these times of global economic decline.

The report is a study from the year 2000 until May 2009 and has some very positive indications indeed. It appears that since the year 2000 South Australia property has gone from strength to strength and from the advent of the recession it has even continued to grow in many sectors, showing both the resilient nature and potential of the area.

Employment in May 2009 was at a record level at close to 800,000 whilst unemployment was just 5.6 % at the same time. Much, much better than in places like Britain. Population growth in the area is also up, the highest since records began.

These factors have led to the decline of new housing construction to be down just 2.1 % on last year, whilst the national average decline is 24.7 %. This has kept prices low, but the property market strong making South Australia a top property investment destination. Business investment too is at another record high at $10.3 Billion at the end of the March quarter 2009, reinforcing the belief that the economy will recover by next year and so making Australia the current investment choice.

South Australia’s financial position could not be better given the current climate. It is ranked as having a AAA credit rating whilst Adelaide (the state capital) is ranked as being the cheapest capital city to both live and do business.

The state of South Australia also has potential to go from strength to strength in economic terms, it has an abundance of natural resources such as a huge mining reserves, renewable energy resources and $44.8 Billion of projects lined up. It also currently the 4th most affordable place to buy a house in Australia.

So what does this mean for the Australian property market now and in the future? David Redfern, Managing Director at DSR Asset Management Ltd. explains that “the current prices for property are lower now than a year ago, whilst the rest of the economy is continuing to grow.

By next year the economy is set to recover and so then too will the prices of property. If I were going to invest or to buy property in South Australia now is the time to do so. The state has so much potential that it will in no doubt become extremely popular, increasing demand and driving up prices.”

DSR Asset Management Ltd. has some excellent opportunities to invest or buy property in Australia. From beach front land plots on Echo Beach to three bedroom houses in adventurous Lakeside in Adelaide itself, both with excellent investment potential. The report has shown that now really is the time to invest or buy property in South Australia.

Property Investment with Nonlinear Capital Growth Potential Echo Beach Land Plots in South Australia

2009-07-07T20:29:00.000-07:00

The name Echo Beach may jolt some music lovers’ memories. In Australia a beach of the same name has now become the location of a fantastic investment opportunity for investors looking for secure capital growth together with the possibility of a nonlinear gain.

A recent independent analysis Echo Beach appraised it thus:

“Based on experience and research we conservatively estimate that capital growth for this coastal property without planning permission would range from 10-15 percent per annum.”

The investment is structured so that, while reasonable gains are virtually guaranteed, spectacular gains are a real possibility. This is because planning permission is being sought by the experienced project team, lead by Alex Paior and Grant Chapman, for the construction of low-rise environmentally sensitive eco homes on Echo Beach.

Interesting to potential land buyers will be the following statement from the local council, who have indicated that they are “…very supportive of development that is consistent with the natural environment and seeks to preserve natural vegetation, particularly in Coastal areas. The council are willing to work with you on this project to produce an outcome that best satisfies all parties involved.”

If and when the go-ahead for this delightful landscape-friendly venture gets the go ahead, investors should be sitting on an additional 500-1,000% increase in the value of their plots, again based on an independent financial assessment.

A nominal annual management fee will be payable to the development team while they negotiate a deal to develop the land. Five years is the time set aside for this, after which in the event no deal can be reached, the land will be re-sold. By then it is expected that the value of the land will have increased by 50-100%.

The developers will retain a sizeable % of the land for themselves, and along with individual investors, will benefit for the massive jump in value that comes with the granting of enhanced planning consent. Therefore the developers interest will be precisely aligned with that of private buyers of Echo Beach.

Echo Beach is located in the picturesque seaside town of Beachport, on the world famous, fossil-rich Limestone Coast, just over an hour’s drive from Mount Gambier, the second-largest city in South Australia. Tens of thousands of tourists come every year to enjoy its relaxed atmosphere and stunning coastline.

DSR Asset Management Ltd are now offering Echo Beach beachfront and direct ocean view land in a novel joint purchase agreement involving 65 acres of prime beach land, with individual plots available from 500 sq m upwards, starting from £15,000 and rising to £30,000.

There are a strictly limited number of plots available.

For more information about Echo Beach and other selected properties world-wide call Rebecca Sale on 0115 871 4594 or visit the DSR website.

Property Philippines

2009-03-07T14:54:00.000-08:00

The Philippines property market is currently one of the hottest in the world. Affected worst by the Asia economic crisis, since Asia began to grow again the Philippines is fast becoming the commercial hub of south East Asia. Its low starting point has also made Philippines property a hot favourite with investors.

The massive growth potential of Philippines property is fuelled by the level of new businesses and foreign investment the Philippines, especially Manila is attracting. Philippines property is expected to grow in value by no less than 24% for the next five years and possibly even more in the next 2-3 years.

Investment Property in the Philippines

Philippines property considered worthy for investment purposes, is currently mainly in Manila. Philippines investment property with the most potential is off-plan apartment complexes, high rise towers in Manila's financial and business centres.

Philippines property like that is attracting rental yields of 10% already, and that figure is expected to climb in the coming years. Because of its massive growth potential, Philippines property was number one for short-term investment in the David Stanley Redfern research department's top ten.

Our Philippines Property

Our Philippines property is a three tower development of apartments in Manila's main financial district, Makati. As Philippines property goes, the Atrium towers have found the perfect balance between luxury and affordability. Their low price makes them a favourite with investors hoping to capitalise on the huge growth potential of Philippines property.

Construction costs in the Philippines are expected to increase by more than 35 percent this year due to record oil, steel, cement and global shipping prices on the back of US Dollar devaluation.

Nearly all construction materials used in the development of Philippine high-rise buildings are imported. With the strong depreciation of the US Dollar value in the South-East Asia combined with record high oil prices that may see crude hit 150/160 USD per barrel in July and August 2008, construction materials exported from China, Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan, together with their shipping costs, continue to increase in price at a phenomenal rate as exporters of steel reinforcement bars, electrical wirings, aluminium, copper based components and Portland cement in the region are set for upwards of 40/50 percent price increases.

Developers of the Lancaster The Atrium Towers in Manila stated they would increase prices of apartments by 10 percent, effective July 16 2008, but clients who reserve now through can take advantage of current prices and see an immediate return on their investment. Not to mention obtaining 70% interest free non status finance.
This is the perfect opportunity to get into a hot market as Philippines property is expected to grow in value by no less than 24 percent for the next five years and possibly even more in the next 2-3 years.

Philippines GDP has been rising by over 5 percent year-on-year and Manila has fast become a major S.E Asian trading post and is no competing against Bangkok as the commercial gateway to the East.
And despite the high prices of foreign imports such as oil hitting the economic growth is expected to slow between 5.2-6.2 percent this year - property prices in the Philippines are being kept buoyant by a huge housing backlog, low interest rates, friendly payment terms, higher incomes of workers in the growing outsourcing industry, and a rising expatriate population.

The housing backlog of 3.8 million units, in particular, has left 70 percent of the country's estimated 90 million population without their own home. This is the big difference between now, and the property boom before the Asian crisis of 1997-98. The demand for housing is not speculative; it is not investor driven; but rather end-user demand driven; a specific demand that is being addressed.

And despite the rising costs, construction continues to boom across much of the country, especially in Manila, a mostly low-rise city where dozens of residential towers are beginning to dot the skyline; at least 38,000 new apartments will be available by 2013 in the Makati financial district and in nearby Bonifacio Global City alone.

It is in Makati that The Lancaster the Atrium Towers are situated, in the heart of the central business district. Off plan prices per m2 in this district have grown by 40% in the last 24 months and the promises higher than average yields of around 12 percent.
But by buying through the overseas property specialists, David Stanley Redfern, investors now have the chance to see a return of 10 percent capital appreciation in just a few days.
