High Returns and Low Interest Rates Attract Overseas Buyers

Launch Finance - High Returns and Low Interest Rates Attract Overseas Buyers

With Perth ranked as the world’s 9th most liveable city by the 2014 World Economist Intelligence Unit Survey, there is opportunity for overseas buyers looking to invest in Australian property. Launch Finance will connect overseas clients to a variety of finance options here in Australia that take advantage of the record low interest rates and comparatively high rental yields.

Australia is an extremely attractive prospect to international property investors for a number of reasons, including:

  • It is considered a stable investment due to the consistent performance of the Australian property market on the global scale
  • Australian real estate is also a path to permanent residency for many, with the added bonus of it being a symbol of prosperity in many countries
  • Wealthy investors can diversify their investment portfolios to properties outside their homeland, and therefore reduce the effect that potential political instability in their own country has on their finances

Further cuts by the RBA, to a record low cash rate of 2%, mean that now is a good time to invest in Australian property. Strong demand has been seen from investors located in Asia, including China, Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as interested buyers in USA and Canada.

The benefits for international investment into Australian real estate are very apparent, and Launch Finance specialises in clear, consistent communication with the overseas buyer when going through the loan process.
