Property Prices that Tend to Hold During Rough Times
If you are in a position to buy, but feel unsure about where to buy, it may pay to look at some of the suburbs near water, or in other prime positions like the centre of the CBD, or near universities.
These 3 aspects are always very good criteria for holding prices. They are 3 demands that will not diminish in time, or even in an economy that is struggling.
Homes near water (and I don’t mean water frontage, but within walking distance of a good beach) will hold their prices by comparison to other areas, and when the economy starts to improve, the homes in areas such as these will be in demand once again.
There will be other criteria that in certain places will be very viable too, but as always do your homework and find out how prices have been travelling over the past 6 months. The price change in the past 6 months will more than likely give you a good idea of what will comparativley happen to prices in that area in the next 6 months. Bear in mind any major fluctuations could be due to the closure of a large commercial business situated in, and supporting the area from an employment perspective.
