Rick Otton Discusses How Creative Strategies Helped Home Buyers Enter The Sydney Property Market After The GFC
(PRWEB) August 04, 2013 -- Rick Otton, author of How To Buy A House For A Dollar, has decided to share a few lectures about the significance of creative real estate strategies after the global financial crisis (GFC) in his upcoming one-day seminar in Sydney on 7 August.
In the past three months, house prices in Australia’s capital cities rose 2.3 percent with on sale properties spending only 45 days in the market after initial listing, according to new housing market statistics.
A news report added that Sydney property prices are still the highest in the country with an average sale price of $570,000. Analysts say that the strong market growth for property in Sydney, along with Perth and Melbourne, is helping keep the housing market buoyant for now.
“The country’s property market is currently experiencing an up, but it has also duffered through downs after the global financial crisis in 2008. Since then, it’s been an uphill climb for Sydney property to return to its former state mainly because there are less bank loans being approved by the banks,” according to Mr. Otton.
“Creative and resourceful home buyers, however, have found a way to bypass the banking the system when purchasing houses and that is through using alternative strategies that allows the transfer of one person’s debt to someone who is willing to make the payments for it - a strategy that I came up with a few years before the banking crisis,” he shared.
“Nobody would have thought of this method prior to the banking crisis. But everything changed after 2008 when banks tightened their lending standards. The normal method of getting a bank loan has become a huge burden on people – to the point wherein it was no longer considered practical for many,” Mr Otton added. He urged those who want to succeed in the Sydney property market to be open-minded about creative real estate strategies that are now becoming the new norm.
He also explained in an episode on Creative Real Estate iTunes podcast that the collapse of the traditional banking system has proven that “you can’t solve new problems with yesterday’s solutions,” that’s why it’s important that more people create and adapt creative solutions which is responsive to the market’s current problems.
