Since the last century, Australia has consistently been ranked among the developed countries. Its unique geographical location and abundant natural resources have contributed to its robust and self-sustaining economic development. While many Western countries faced economic downturns in recent years, Australia’s economy stood out and remained largely unaffected. The country’s prominent industries for exports include mining, education, tourism, and agriculture, which have played significant roles in sustaining its economy. Domestically, Australia’s economy is diverse, with sectors like hospitality, retail, finance, and real estate playing important roles.
If you’re interested in investment opportunities in Australia, AOU Consulting can give recommendations based on your specific circumstances. Whether you’re looking to invest for immigration purposes or purely for profit, there are various options available to suit your goals.
Residential properties
Australia’s real estate market has developed steadily in recent years and has not experienced the fluctuations seen in countries like Europe and the United States in the past two decades. Taking the years 2020 and 2021 as examples, despite the impact of the pandemic, the average price increase in major cities across Australia has been more than 30%. Additionally, in order to maintain the healthy development of the real estate market, the Australian government frequently introduces macro-control policies. AOU Consulting can recommend apartments, townhouses, and houses to you.
Agricultural properties
Australia is a vast land with extensive areas of sparsely populated regions beyond the urban centres. This has led to large stretches of land being utilized for agricultural development. The farms here include crop farming, livestock rearing, as well as specialized equestrian training facilities and hobby farms, etc. Farm sizes are typically measured in acres (1 acre equals 4047 square meters), ranging from a few dozen acres for small farms to several hundred acres for larger ones. Some farms even come with mountains and lakes. Upon purchasing a farm, options include personal operation, leasing to local farmers, or awaiting rezoning for sharp value appreciation.
Commercial and industrial properties
In recent years, commercial and industrial real estates in Australia have become hotspots for investors. Many investors have come to recognize the advantages of these types of properties: stable price appreciation, long lease terms, tenants covering various on-going costs, and a hassle-free ownership experience. Current popular projects include industrial factories, warehouses, properties that integrate office and storage spaces, as well as retail shops, among others.
