1. The Big Picture: Economic Health Checks
We begin at the macro level—because long-term growth often starts with strong fundamentals.
Primary Source: CommSec's State of the States Reports
We use this to compare performance across:
- Economic Growth - Which states are expanding their economies fastest?
- Retail Spending - Are households and businesses confident enough to spend?
- Equipment Investment - Are local businesses reinvesting in themselves?
- Unemployment Rates - Low unemployment supports steady rental and buyer demand.
- Population Growth - In-migration and natural growth increase housing demand.
- Housing Finance & Dwelling Starts - Are we building enough, or falling behind demand?
Why it matters: A top-performing state on these metrics often signals a stable, investment-worthy environment—but that's just the start.
2. Tapping Into Independent Research
We layer in trusted, third-party analysis to go beyond the headlines:
- Terry Ryder's Hotspotting Reports
- CoreLogic RP Data
- SQM Research
- Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)
- Infrastructure Australia Priority List
- Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) Sentiment Reports
Why it matters: These independent reports offer data that's less susceptible to industry spin—so we can stay clear-headed and transparent.
3. Local Agent & Property Manager Intel
Data tells one story. Talking to people living it tells another.
We pick up the phone and hit the pavement:
- Tenant Trends - Are renters long-term locals or FIFO workers?
- Rental Shortages - "No rentals for 6 months" isn't a stat—it's a signal.
- Buyer Behavior - Are first-home buyers back? Or are downsizers dominating?
- Development Pipeline - Any major rezonings, apartment blocks, or transport upgrades coming?
- Neighborhood Vibe - Is it family-friendly, investor-heavy, or undergoing gentrification?
4. Our 3-Step Filter
We apply a layered research approach before recommending any area:
- Macro Check - National/state indicators highlight strong contenders.
- Micro Check - Local conversations and data uncover suburb-level truths.
- Client Fit - We only recommend locations that align with your strategy.
