There’s something that seems to be common to lots of Australians — we love to own property. Of course, it has become harder because most of us want to live either close to the CBD of major cities, near beaches or close to other great facilities that makes non-work life really enjoyable.

This will increase the demand for properties in outer suburbs or even in country towns that maybe are one to two hours from the city or a major centre for employment.
