home | Off Plan Property
 


Unlike many other countries, properties that are marketed off plan in Australia are usually NOT discounted.

Buying a Australian off-plan property means reserving a property on a new development before the property is completed and often before construction has even started. The developer is keen to sell as many properties as early as possible in order to raise capital for construction and minimize the risk to themselves and the borrowed funds from banks.

Unlike many other countries, properties that are marketed off plan in Australia are NOT usually discounted by around 10 to 15% below market value.

Many overseas buyers love to buy off-plan properties. But what's in it for these buyers ? Why is buying off-plan property in Australia so popular? There is no doubt that a significant proportion of foreigners buying Australian off-plan property are experienced speculators looking to make a risk-free, high-return investment by selling on the purchase contract before completion.

However, as previously mentioned, as prices in Australia are NOT usually discounted for off plan sales, this often does not come to pass.

    Paul Stewart, London

    "The systems can be put into any marketplace. A lot of people would say that otehrs can do it, but maybe someone else can’t. After being a member here for over a year, and seeing people who have put it into place and are being successful at it, and they’re just normal people like myself, I realize I can do it and other people like me will be able to succeed with these ideas as well." Damian K. Address withheld

    "Although you would think this website would be expensive, when you compare it to the results you get and all of the techniques and tools they gives you, it’s like buying your own real estate for a fraction of the normal cost. The money you invest in this you get back 10 times over, very quickly." Richard H. Manchester, U.K.

    " What I like about this site, is that it is written by people in the market themselves, right now, where a lot of other websites either never invested in in real estate or don’t invest anymore. The biggest thing is not to reinvent the wheel. You guys have done all the testing for me, which saves me time and money." Len Wong, Shanghia, China
