Drivers of growth national, state, LGA and in a suburb. What's your opinion?

Hi

A few readers have stated that some of the stats I have been referring to are measuring past growth and past performance. Maybe useful but the horse has bolted and opportunity gone

Some readers have asked for info on Drivers of Growth? How to get ahead of the pack and the media publicity.

Well here is some research info below and links to detailed information. I hope these links are acceptable as it is the only way to effectively display the info.

If anyone objects let me know and I will delete the information.

Oh I thought of an idea to have some fun for the forum readers.
Pick a single suburb or LGA in Australia and conduct research and analysis on it and discuss this in the forum?

Decide what are the drivers of growth, what's happening eg new roads, rail, new hospitals, is it a redevelopment area,

Anyone interested let me know and we can publish this on the forum and get everyone to contribute.

Anyway see some research info below

Looking at the big picture readers may want to ask the question?
where does Australia rank in the global economy? or check out global economic factors

Any major or minor infrastructure projects are approved by State Gov and Local Gov Area (LGA) authorities years in advance.

If an investor wants to keep their finger on the pulse monitor State Gov and LGA development plans. An investor could be way ahead of the pack just by knowing where to find information and keeping well informed. Power to the researcher! see

•National, State, and Regional infrastructure development projects.
•Local government infrastructure development plans

Depending on the Economist, commentator or individual investor it is debatable what are the most significant drivers of growth, moderately significant or least significant?

What do you think is important?

Regarding the physical inspection of the suburb, street and property is important. I would conduct alot of due diligence and research before I inspected the property

see Due dilgence Check List.
At a minimum check out the sewer position, any road changes planned eg widening or bus stop outside front door etc and some other critical info before I inspected the property

Some of this research can be conducted online using digital imaging software. Check out the lot shape, size, dimensions etc see

•Digital Mapping Solutions. Intramaps Public Edition www.mapsolutions.com.au – see public free edition
•Google Maps http://maps.google.com.au – free service
•RP Data www.rpdata.net.au – paid service

Also check out the listing information and photos online. Check out the property information online using a state gov supplier or reseller.

Do some sales data analysis before you inspect. If the property is overpriced and the vendor is not willing to negotiate on price there is no point in inspecting the property See

•Property Sales Data Level One - objective data and can be assessed online
•Property Sales Data Level Two - subjective data and will require some desktop analysis and some inspection

Is anyone interested in conducting an online analysis of a specific suburb or LGA and share it with the forum?

@ John - I wouldn't stress about those links. They all add to this post so no one is going to prosecute you for putting helpful tips up on the site. As long as you are adding to the forum and not be a spammer then links are always helpful.

Thanks for this post. To tell you the truth I just skimmed though it as it is pretty damn long...but some of the research and information your provided was helpful to me and will be helpful to a lot of other people in this forum...so thanks.

Hi Ryan

Thanks

One forum I posted on did not allow any links and so I simply did not post comments

So I take a polite approach to using links and ask permission first. If it is okay as per your comment I will use links when relevant. 

Sometimes I find forum conversation is twoing and frowing of personal opinions. Can be lively, entertaining and great spectator sport..Which is great fun.  At other times I have observed some research and data in comments and I thought wow what an interesting point of view or what great data.

I do not take a moderate approach, or the approach that the market is stagnant, or a bullish approach that the market is going up and booming or a bearish approach, watch out the bust is coming . 

I prefer to take a broad approach and form an opinion after  consulting and conducting research.

cheers

Hi

I have an idea about selecting a LGA or suburb and analysing it?

check out the Real Estate Investar report below

What could be interesting is to select a location from the list and conduct a location analysis
Are you interested?

These locations could be future hot spots?
Are you interested to find out if they stack up?

This Post is Excellent thanks jontapp. I'd love to see this turned into a sticky. Great info

Hi Elliotji
