Part 1 Capital Growth Data Metrics To Use For Australian Property with Luke Metcalf

In this conversation, Jaryd Krause and Luke discuss the topic of gentrification and how it relates to property investment. They explore the value of data in identifying areas for capital growth and the importance of considering various factors such as socioeconomic trends, location, and property types.

They also touch on the concept of the HIP score, which quantifies the trendiness and coolness of a suburb.

The conversation delves into the challenges of calculating median house prices and the significance of affordability and yield in investment decisions. 


EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

- Gentrification is a slower-moving process than market timing, and it is important to consider the long-term capital growth consequences of choosing a particular socioeconomic end of the market.

- The middle range of the market tends to perform well in terms of capital growth, but it is important to consider other factors such as the natural setting and the diversity of buyers in a suburb.

- The HIP score, which quantifies the trendiness and coolness of a suburb, can be a valuable tool in identifying areas for potential capital growth.

- When analyzing median house prices, it is important to consider factors such as changes in the housing stock and the diversity of prices within a suburb.

- Affordability and yield are key drivers in property investment, and there is generally a correlation between yield and subsequent capital growth, particularly in the low to middle range of the market. Yield tends to be better up until the top fifth percentile, but it varies across different markets.
