Benefits of investing in Canberra Real estate

The Canberra real estate market is strong and there is a lot of demand for property in the region. The median house price in Canberra hit the record of $1,074,187 in 2021 and the experts still expect the market to grow. At the same time, outer suburbs remain affordable yet a 20-minute drive from the capital.

There are many reasons why investors should consider Canberra when looking for an investment property. The city has a strong economy with a growing population, and it offers good rental yields. In addition, the city has a number of infrastructure projects planned or underway, which is likely to lead to further growth in the property market.

Investors can expect a higher annual rental yield in the area than the median in the ACT – units generate the most profit for landlords, and Gungahlin is one of the best-yielding suburbs with a 6.54% rental yield. Braddon, Kambah, Lyneham are other good investment choices in Canberra.

Canberra’s population demographics consist of well-educated, mostly wealthy professionals, families with kids and retirees working in Civic. Some suburbs evolved into hipster and youth hubs, like Braddon or Lyneham. Most dwellers are looking for a peaceful, safe and well-organized place to live with easy access to good schools, shops, restaurants and healthcare. Every suburb transformed over the last years, but the community became even more tight and welcoming.

The regional economy is strong and allows the government to invest a lot in new developments, healthcare, sport, renewable energy and local business. Yet, a lot of people praise the location, open spaces, parks, lakes, hills and valleys spread around Canberra’s suburbs more than any facilities.

Property management in Canberra

The rental market in Canberra’s suburbs is massive, as many outer suburbs are formed by up to 80% of apartment complexes and offer affordable living for young professionals, older couples and families. The property investment returns vary from suburb to suburb and it is crucial to study the market over the last five years to make an informed decision on where to buy a property and what rent to market.

Property management in Canberra can be a huge undertaking, especially if you’re managing a large number of properties. That’s why it’s important to find a good property manager who can take care of everything for you. RK Property Partners team of professionals will handle all of the maintenance, tenancy, and communication issues to ensure that your property is delivering a return on investment while saving you time and stress.

Why is it better to hire a property manager?

Many property owners struggle to find the right property manager, as they might encounter so-called “managers” whose only duty was to collect rent. To help property investors we created a Landlords’ Guide highlighting all major pitfalls and opportunities.

There are some business and emotional benefits of using a property manager.
General benefits:

• Delegating property management to a manager helps you save time and money. A certified property manager went through special negotiation and management training.
• Get expert advice on how to get the most out of your property. A good property manager will work to get the best rent and to increase property value by properly maintaining it or adding beneficial changes.
• Maximizing investments returns by decreasing vacancy rate, updating listings and negotiating higher rent. This will also generate stable cash flow for you.
• All the hustle of screening, interviewing and managing tenants as well as paperwork, bills and such go to your property manager. Moreover, they know exactly how a Tenancy Application form should look like, what laws and documents regulate housing in every suburb and what responsibilities landlords and tenants hold.

Emotional benefits:

• You will feel more confident when you’re making decisions about your property.
• You will significantly reduce stress and free time to focus on your life and work

Compared to other benefits, emotional benefits can be harder to measure because they can’t be bought or sold but can have a big impact on your life.
