Investing in Residential Property

Since 1996, house prices have more than doubled in all capital cities (except Perth), with Brisbane leading the pack, followed closely by Melbourne and Sydney. With house prices displaying such phenomenal rates o growth, could this mean that the residential property market has already done its dash in these cities during this property cycle? The fully revised and updated sixth edition of this highly acclaimed book provides investors and owners alike with all the information they need to understand the current market conditions in a longer term context, and make more informed property decisions.

Author Dr Peter Waxman examines the property cycles, the effect of the economy, factors affecting house prices, financing and taxation, supply and demand factors, and much more.
