Brisbane Property Market Ripe for Seller Finance, Say Rick Otton
(PRWEB) May 04, 2014 -- New figures from RP Data show that the overall value of real estate in Brisbane would climb to $400 Billion due to growing investor confidence and improving market conditions, the Brisbanetimes.com.au reported on 29 April 2014.
Brisbane currently accounts for 50 percent of the total value of Queensland’s residential stock which is at $790 Billion.
Everybody wants to be in the property game, especially during a boom when house prices continue to rise and the chance to double your investment is high. I bet everyone in Brisbane is suddenly scrambling to get their hands on property for sale now they heard that there’s a big chance real estate value will grow further over there,” commented Rick Otton, the host of the highly-anticipated Ready, Set, Boom tour.
Mr. Otton then explained in an interview for Ready, Set, Boom that in a rising market like what’s seen in Brisbane, the smart way to enter the market is through seller finance strategies.
“Any person can buy a house in any market cycle if they use creative strategies. You see, it’s not the price which makes a property for sale affordable, but the terms on how you pay the price,” according to Mr. Otton.
“For example, in a rising market, prices are expensive. People just don’t have the cash to come up with the deposit today. And the higher the amount you need to finance, the harder it is to get a bank loan. But the beauty of seller financing is that it offers flexible terms. Rather than getting a new bank loan, the existing financing on the house can be transferred to the buyer. And rather than paying for the entire deposit upfront, the buyer can be allowed to pay the remaining equity in increments. The benefit to the seller is that he or she can move away from the unwanted debt more quickly. And because payment terms are more convenient, the buyer is now in a better position to pay for the seller’s asking price,” he said.
