Investors casting keen eyes over Point Cook
THE first rule of retail business is to give customers what they want.
And real estate investors are applying the same rule when searching for properties.
New research of investors search habits by realestate.com.au shows that investors understand what’s needed to please their customers when they buy.
When looking to buy property for financial gain, investors have to think about who will pay good money to rent their home as well as whether the suburb has strong capital growth prospects.
Realestate.com.au’s top 10 investment hotspots are a wide selection of suburbs that share good public transport links, access to major mall or strip shopping centres, school zones or proximity to the city and university campuses.
The common thread is they’re all suburbs that are popular places to live.
But the number one suburb on the investment radar is a surprising result.

Point Cook is a relatively new suburb in the western growth corridor famed for its McMansions.
Paul Wolff, director of home builder Porter Davis Homes, said Point Cook’s location was a big drawcard.
“Driving from Point Cook to Melbourne CBD only takes about half an hour, which is really short compared to other investment areas including Werribee and Hoppers Crossing,” Mr Wolff said.
Point Cook was also close to Williams Landing and Aircraft train stations on the Werribee line, he said.
“The proximity to the city is not only attracting investors but also foreign and second and third-home buyers,” he said.
“Point Cook promises huge capital growth along with retail developments, infrastructure and schools in the next five to 10 years and the experienced investor knows about this.”
“This area has a lot of promise, emerging as a hotspot for investors.
“House and land packages are really affordable in Point Cook and the development happening at the moment will only drive capital growth.”

Mr Wolff said Point Cook had a diverse mix of properties, including homes in the million dollar bracket and affordable units.
The research found interest in investment property was spread across Melbourne during January to March. Inner suburbs, including St Kilda, Carlton and Richmond, also attracted interest from investors, while outer suburbs close to train stations and shopping centres also made the list. They included Glen Waverley, Frankston, Wantirna South and Ringwood.
Real Estate Institute of Victoria chief executive Enzo Raimondo said thinking about what tenants wanted was the key when buying an investment property.
“Think about what would make your property attractive to tenants,” he said.
“For example, you may enjoy driving to work, but with a rental property, proximity to public transport is generally essential.
“If buying a family home to rent out, is it near schools? If buying a trendy apartment, tenants will want cafes nearby.”
Property investment reached a peak in 2014, with official figures showing nearly half of new home loans created were to buy, or build, an investment property.
But the level of investment activity in the market has showed signs of slowing this year, as the Reserve Bank and the banking industry watchdog, Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, seek to limit unsustainable growth in the sector.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the total value of home loans for investment properties rose by $47 million in February, 2015.
JOINING MATES IN THE PROFIT TRAIN
STEVE Cadwallader thought he’d missed the boat when he watched several mates counting how much their property investments were paying off.
At 30, Mr Cadwallader is not getting old by any stretch of the imagination, but in investment terms, he’d already missed a few years’ of capital growth.
Working for a big four bank meant he understood the benefits of buying an investment property.
Mr Cadwallader this year bought a block of land in Point Cook, where a new home is under construction.
“The reason I bought land out there was the proximity to the city at about 20kms, compared to somewhere like Pakenham or Officer that’s 50km out,” he said.
“The infrastructure they’re planning in the next five to 10 years — a new interchange to the freeway between Werribee and Point Cook to ease traffic congestion — as well as the fact you’ve got all the wetlands, the beach and the proximity to the city was a standout.”

一直关注TOWN CENTER附近，这半年感觉网上卖的价格涨了很多，去年很多卖价4打头的或者5多一点点的，都SOLD了，现在一般都5多不少，甚至不少6打头的，7的都有了，涨的很恐怖，不信你网上DOMAIN看，好多6,7打头要价的。再涨，我就不打算关注了，改其它区去。

我住在pc，说实话其实生活还算是方便的，现在华人也是越来越多，看看那几个华人超市还有公共park就能感受出来。
当然公共设施方面不能和成熟的东南区比，毕竟pc还只是个十来岁的年轻小区。我希望有些足友们不要一听见pc就冷嘲热讽，只有真正住在这里并且有过几年的人才有发言权，深入的知道这个区的好坏到底在哪里。

虽然我不喜欢ｐｃ，但是不可否认ｐｃ现在性价比很高，６０万可以买个双层４房几年新的大房子。
同样的房子放在东部东南部离２５公里内起码要再加１００万。
评论
也不尽然。
pc双层60万应该是位置比较靠里面的地方了，确实相对便宜一些。
评论
其实住哪都差不多，难改的是人们的观点。但是从投资角度来说，供应大的地方就不是好的投资地点。
评论
Pc涨幅一点不低 ，尤其这几年 再加新房折旧 ，非常好的回报了。成交 有量的支持 没有泡沫。
在一个大体量的地方 从数据上气涨幅不会显 。成熟区几套就把涨幅提高了。但量够 跌起来一样情况。

我家在pc还有块700多平的空地，含税44万买的现在42都卖不掉。。。
评论
一块地44万？什么时候pc这么疯狂了～～～
评论
很同意，有大量供应时候的涨那是真的市场价涨，同理有大量买的时候的跌，是真跌。没成交量的房价创新高，很虚，只能说那个卖家遇到了对眼买家，不代表谁都能高价，更不表示若有像PC那样有三百多个同时卖的时候还是那个高价。
评论
你都金靴啦
评论
能说说为啥？有什么重要因素在准备自住阶段没考虑到？住进去才发现？交通？迎太阳？热？买菜？可这些应该自主之前考虑过呀，坛子里都列了。也想去那自主，但怕将来走同样弯路，毕竟很多人都这样，那一定有原因
评论
进去的比出来的多无数倍了,你看人口增长就知道了,这么大的人口增长率不都是进吗。
评论
市場上還是很多房再賣
评论
比起东区来，其它地方差点的也无法改变的是植被，所以再怎么说怎么建，自然环境很难改变。
评论
那就得看你所说的“东区”的定义了
