South West WA at the peak of industrial property market: HTW property clock

The valuation firm Herron Todd White has issued its latest property clock for the industrial market - a simple broad brush means to suggest where property markets are - and what direction prices are moving in.

South West WA is alone at the top -- peak of the market, according to the April property clock. 

Sydney is a market in decline, while Melbourne and Brisbane are approaching the peak.

Industrial is a great real estate leg-up for investors graduating from residential holdings into a commercial portfolio, according to HTW.

The sector has certainly presented affordable options in the past few years, but could it be due an upswing in 2016? The best way to buy well is to draw on local knowledge, say HTW. It’s not just broad markets that present the best opportunities. Variations between secondary to prime property play their part, as do different locations throughout the same town.
