An Insight Into the Blue Wealth Research Process

A man on a bench once said; ‘Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.’ He clearly wasn’t familiar with Blue Wealth’s proven and audited research process and model or the countless clients who benefit from our philosophy of market timing.

Spotlight on Supply

The discussion of supply in Brisbane is much like Bohemian Rhapsody: many know the words, but few know what they mean. Those in the media sing the same tune. Headlines like ‘Better in the bank than on Brisbane inner-city apartments’ are typical of cash for comment ‘experts’ whose research repertoire includes such gems as Parramatta being one of ‘the worst places to buy a home’! Fair comment if written now given the suburb’s recent astronomical progression up the growth curve and its exit from the opportunity phase of the growth cycle, but this was penned in 2008!

Value is governed by demand, and demand for accommodation is changing. The old adage that it’s the land component of property that has value, meaning you should buy a house no longer applies. To a large degree, gen y is forgoing the quarter acre block (did I say quarter acre? The average new plot size is less than 400 square metres) in suburbia for inner city high amenity living, and that’s more often than not apartment living.
