Five coastal apartments to consider in NSW
Although summer has passed by, Sydney’s latest lockdown has reminded many Australians of the benefits that come with investing in a coastal holiday home.
SQM Research managing director Louis Christopher claimed that its likely regional occupancy has already reached its highpoint.
“With the costs of renting a holiday home soaring thanks to huge local demand, combined with record-low interest rates, we’re experiencing a unique situation where it may actually be more cost-effective to buy rather than regularly rent a holiday home”, said David Hancock, senior financial planner at Montara Wealth.
