BRISBANE APARTMENTS

When looking at long term capital growth, no one knows the future, but the past can be an excellent guide.

PAST 25 YEARS:   According to the official Residex apartments index Dec 1990-Dec 2015 (25 years) the average long term growth rate for Brisbane apartments has been 5.33% pa.  Therefore a $150,000 apartment in 1990 is now $548,000.   And assuming a 30% deposit ($45,000) plus $7,500 costs then an investor’s return is $548,000 less 70% loan ($105,000)

=$443,000

on $52,500 initial investment.

The ROI (Return on Investment) is therefore an amazing 743% over 25 years.

 Too long? Let’s look at the PAST 15 YEARS:

 Using a shorter time frame, the past 15 years, your return on investment would have been 488%.

 GOING FORWARD:

According to the long term trend line Brisbane apartments are currently well below their trend line meaning this could be an excellent time to secure a good long term investment.

And if you do secure an apartment and for some reason the market only performs half as well over the next 15 YEARS as it has done in the past 15 years, you’ll still make over 240% return on your own capital in 15 years.
