Many people think (incorrectly) that you can only succeed in real estate when the economy booms.

In reality, poor economic times are great for real estate investors. You may find properties at deep discounts. You might also f ind deals that simply would not exist in a booming economy. Change brings opportunity.

Experienced investors and developers will always tell you: “you make your money when you buy”. That is a strong statement right now as this could be one of the best opportunities to invest before the economy picks up momentum.

We find so many property investors looking at property, yet stalling when it comes to making the purchasing decision. They lack certainty & confidence when buying, particularly when dealing with agents. Let’ s face it, if you have not set a price in your mind, the real estate agent is very good at setting one for you.

So how do you boost yourself with the power and certainty to make an offer on a property?

Knowledge is power, and that knowledge takes research.

Imagine knowing exactly how much a property is worth before you negotiate with an agent. Imagine making an offer with a clear thought of what the property is worth and clear tactics on how to bid. That knowledge is power, helping you make financial decisions with certainty and commitment.

If you feel you don’t have the time or patience to research the property market, Plan Assist offer research assistance packages to lay the foundations for your wealth.

Trade contractor prices have eased thanks to an influx of skilled tradespeople, the Housing Industry Association’s (HIA) Austral Bricks Trade report has found.

The report, released yesterday, also showed trade rates were coming off the boil, relieving price pressure for renovators and home buyers alike.

The HIA-Austral Bricks Trades Price Index eased by 0.2 per cent in the June 2009 quarter to be down by 2.9 per cent in annual terms.

“This evidence of an easing in prices and a freeing up of trades people confirms that 2009 is a good time to engage in renovating an existing property or building a new home,” HIA’s chief economist Harley Dale said.
