Gosford prices have already gone up a lot. But if all the development applications are only coming now, does that mean we are still some way off the peak in terms of prices?

I think if it happens it will end in tears. It will be the biggest white elephant / ghost town ever. If you wish to visit China, you would go to China. Or if you cant afford overseas travel, visit Bankstown or Chatswood Why on earth would you wish to visit a tacky pseudo theme park in the...

I think 6.6% plus gross rental returns seem the norm at the moment. So mostly neutrally geared properties on 100% borrowing of the purchase price.

So they should be the next to move up if all this development proceeds?

Gosford unit prices have already shot up in the past 12 months. Do you think that they will continue to climb? Or have the price increases already factored in the above developments?

I guess this forum comes up regularly in any research on google regarding property, suburbs, investments. So a link on this forum is almost like solid gold for anyone wanting to promote anything. However, personally, I have stopped looking in Niagara Park because no new opportunites have...

In terms of properties with water exposure, I remember a post by propertunity stating that live water e.g. ocean/beach command the best prices over still waters - lakes over water views which are better than inland suburbs with water views. I think this analogy would be correct in most regions...

So my question is whether Toukley, which is a quiet suburb for holiday makers and retirees, on unattractive still water could be due for a sharp price rise down the track such as the Entrance which used to be a sleepy suburb for holiday makers 20 years ago and Ettalong beach which used to a...

Looking at re.com.au, there appears to be a fair few Toukley waterfronts for the low to mid 600k with dual rental opportunities, leading to gross 5% yields. These have also been on the market for a while. I notice that there has been no price growth for these types of properties over the past...

I was more thinking about small villas / townhouses in these parts which are listed for 170k and renting for 230/week. I am thinking that it is hard for properties to go much below 170k so there should be a margin of safety there. The waterfronts in toukley are dangerous as they are prone to...

What do you guys think about Toukley / San remo? Lots of 7% yields there on sub 300k properties - house and land often. Any chance of capital growth in this suburbs?

The agent in Niagara Park should probably give me a cut. But they are too busy these days to return phone calls - these properties up to the mid 300s returning 6-7% are selling like hot cakes.

What about this? http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-niagara+park-114566439 This must surely be a good rental yield. Any good tips for assessing dual occupany residential properties from an investor's view point ? I understand it is best to have separate electricity and water...

I notice some standard houses in Narara and Niagara park close to train station around the median suburb price of low to mid 300k are yielding 7%. These blocks are over 1100 m2 which means that they are large enough to consider potential future subdivision. These seem quite attractive for...

Hopefully, this will give some boost to Gosford unit and house prices.

Houses between 300 to 350k in Wyoming, older style on their 600m2 or larger blocks with a gross rental yield of 6% have been selling better than hot cakes over the past twelve months. Often they are on the market for only a week or two and then sold. So clearly there is strong investor sentiment...

Hi Coral, Kinarra Avenue Wyoming is a pretty run of the mill street on the Central Coast - not particularly flash and not particulary shabby. Pretty standard tenant territory. It has a large bulk billing medical centre at the start of the street, at its intersection with the Pacific Highway. It...

It is over-simplistic to suggest that the only driver of property prices on the Central Coast is the movement of Sydney prices and hence as there is movement in Sydney, we should invest on the Central Coast. Every investor, with their limited investment dollars should seek areas which are...

I would agree that on the Central Coast, it can be a long time between drinks in terms of price rises. Its capital growth potential is dependent on Sydney as has been pointed out above and despite many touted developments, there is no substantial confirmed driver of capital growth that is...
