How to Identify Real Estate Hotspots
In 2012, an investor with $600,000 faced a choice: booming Darwin or subdued Sydney. Darwin saw 6% growth in 2013 but stagnated from 2014, with declines from 2015 to 2019 and limited prospects. Sydney, however, surged 14%-15% in 2013, sustained strong growth through 2017, corrected in 2018, then rebounded with 25% growth in 2021. Over a decade, Sydney far outperformed Darwin, illustrating the importance of "Hotspotting"—identifying future real estate growth areas for long-term success.
