    I'm thinking of buying a house around Ashwood for investment. Is it a good suburb to invest?

    Hi Liz

    Yes it is ( or was) – check how it stacks up to the neighbouring suburbs. Only 3 years ago Ashwood was the forgotton suburb in that area, while others such as Glen Waverly went "gang busters" and shot ahead in values almost to a ridiculous point.

    Ashwood has some old, commission type areas which werent looked at kindly so investors avoided the area. I know a person from this community who developed a block with 3 speccy townhouses and sold them all off the plan before the foundations went down.

    If prices are still considerably lower than neighbouring suburbs then I would definitely prospect more in the suburb and use the ripple effect to my advantage.
