What Drives Growth in Investment Property?
At KEY2 Invest, we help property investors access pre-vetted, investment-grade new builds throughout New Zealand. Knowing what drives long-term capital growth is key to choosing the right property - and building a portfolio that performs.
Regional Influences
Several regional factors contribute to the growth potential of investment properties:
Localised Economic Plans: Areas with strategic economic development plans often experience increased demand for housing.
Population Growth: Regions with strong underlying population growth see higher demand for rental properties.
Employment Opportunities: The creation of new jobs attracts people to the area, boosting the rental market.
Council Infrastructure and Planning: Investments in infrastructure and urban planning enhance the attractiveness of a location.
Council Investment: Active investment by local councils in community development can stimulate property growth.
Rental Shortages: Areas with a shortage of rental properties present opportunities for investors to meet the demand.
Microeconomic and Political Influences
Broader economic and political factors also impact property investment growth:
Interest Rates: Fluctuations in mortgage interest rates affect borrowing costs and investor returns.
Property Market Timing: Understanding the property cycle helps investors make strategic purchase decisions.
Immigration Settings: Policies influencing immigration can affect population growth and housing demand.
Business Confidence: High business confidence can lead to economic growth, increasing demand for housing.
Property-Specific Factors
The characteristics of the property itself play a significant role in its growth potential:
Property Typology: The type of property - standalone, townhouse, or apartment - can influence rental appeal and capital growth.
Yield: The rental income relative to the property's value affects cash flow and investment viability.
At KEY2 Invest, we focus on new build properties that offer modern appeal, low maintenance, and compliance with current building standards, ensuring they are attractive to tenants and positioned for growth.
