Rick Otton to Share New Insights for Brisbane Property Investors in Competitive Market
(PRWEB) June 03, 2014 -- Brisbane real estate agents and buyers have become aware of the increased competition for properties in specific suburbs of the Queensland capital. In announcing his weekly podcast, property investment educator, Rick Otton, is set to share creative and innovative strategies that he says are needed to give buyers an edge in this market.
“The Brisbane real estate market is dynamic right now, and I know that prospective home buyers are being challenged by the increased competition for houses,” said Mr. Otton. “In these focused and information-rich episodes, I want to show them some strategies that may give them a real advantage.”
“There has been a lot of press about the buoyant suburbs of Brisbane - Paddington, Stafford and Stafford Heights, but Kedron too has emerged as another powerhouse, with great infrastructure, including its easy access to the Airport Link Tunnel,” he continued.
Latest figures from property monitor, RP Data, shows that since May 2013 the average time a house is for sale in Brisbane has dropped from 91 days to 74 days.
“Greater Brisbane region real estate figures show that in the twelve months to February 2014, 31,770 homes were sold, a significant increase in the corresponding figure of 25,470 for twelve months to February 2013,” said Mr. Otton.
After a period in the doldrums, Mr. Otton believes the Brisbane real estate market is set to continue to grow along these lines. However, he is quick to point out that the strategies and techniques he teaches can be applied to benefit from any market.
“Right now, interest rates are at a low, which has made the ability to buy property, for many, easier. But there are many people who, despite this, do not qualify for a home loan - so the interest rate is still unsettling,” said Mr. Otton. “I want to show people how they can get on board the property investment train, even if they don’t have the credit history or massive deposit that the traditional lenders - the banks - require.”
The other people that Mr. Otton believes will benefit immensely from the information he shares each week are those who already own real estate but who want to add to their property portfolio.
“I want to explain to them when the right time to ‘bargain hunt’ is, what strategies are right for property transactions at this time, and show them why ‘negative gearing’ is rarely the best way to approach property investment,” said Mr. Otton.

He constantly refines his techniques as he buys and sells properties through his We Buy Houses Pty Ltd business which operates in Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
