Bickering, bribery and late night coup d’etats. Welcome to Canberra!

The year was 1901. Australia had been recently federated and the rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne was significant enough that neither city was chosen as the nation’s capital. That honour was bestowed on the not yet created Canberra some 26 years later, but that’s a discussion for another day.

In the interest of spontaneity, we continue our ‘Where are the Markets?’ series with Adelaide, bypassing Canberra and Melbourne on the journey south.

The last seven years have been interesting, with the global financial crisis changing how property markets operate. In fact, opening a property magazine from February 2008 is a curious endeavour. On the back page is an ad: Affordable Queensland Property, Prosperity Ahead. The subject regional area had six years of massive price growth prior to this ad and has actually gone backward since.

As we discussed last week, the transformation of an economy has significant implications on residential property. We are seeing pockets within our cities transformed because our economy turning its back on the likes of manufacturing and increasing the influence of ‘softer’ professional services.
