Is 2019 the best time to buy property?

For some investors, 2019 will be a tough year, but for others, it represents a once in a decade buying opportunity.

Which camp do you fall into?

In 2019, it’s important to remember that Australia is not one big property market but a series of states, cities, regions, and suburbs.

Some of these areas are overpriced and will continue to decline in value, others are cheaper to buy in 2019 than they were in 2008.

2019 represents a huge opportunity for investors who can stomach buying when others are fearful.

So if you’re thinking of investing in 2019, I would be staying well clear of Sydney, Melbourne, Darwin and Perth, and beginning to look at markets like Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
