Sydney –The Gold Standard for Australian Property
– Chronic housing shortages, population growth and a resilient economy together with the magnetism of the Harbour and its world-class attractions all underpin the investment security of Sydney real-estate.
– Despite the cyclical ebbs and flows of housing market activity Sydney remains the gold standard for Australian property.
– The west of Sydney currently offers investment opportunities as buyers seek to maximise their value in a restricted market characterised by high underlying demand and restricted supply
