Overseas Property News - General

June 25, 2009 - PRLog -- Overseas property investment specialists DSR Asset Management Ltd have compiled an overall review on buying Land Plots for investment

"Land can humble you," says Emile Haddad, Lennar's chief investment officer. "On the surface it looks like the simplest real estate asset, but it's really the most complicated."

“Land values skyrocket”

That headline appeared in an ABC news release last month.

“The value of land has shot up by 210 per cent on the west coast, 233 per cent in Kingborough and 214 per cent in Hobart.”

This is for Tasmania since 2002, and represents about 30% per annum appreciation in the enigmatic island south of the Australian subcontinent. Meanwhile over on mainland Australia land has proved a stronger investment than houses.

“Angie Zigomanis, report author and senior project manager with BIS, says while property prices jumped 25 percent in Melbourne in the five years of the study, land prices rose by 70 percent. It was much the same story in Sydney, where house prices jumped 44 percent but land prices almost doubled, with a 91 percent rise.”

Admittedly this quote from Gillian Bullock writing for MSN Money is from September 2007, but it reaffirms the long-term reality – building land appreciates much faster in value than built-on land.

DSR Asset Management has carefully selected investment opportunities in Australasian land, with the emphasis being on location, location and of course – weather. Their turnkey service is designed to take care of pitfalls that may beset inexperienced buyers attracted to this lucrative market and luxuriant area.

Koro Island – Korovou - Land plots for sale in Fiji , Captain Bligh originally observed "the island of Koro is of good height… Nothing can exceed its beauty. I place it in 17° 11"S." It is an ultimate Paradise Island, accessible yet largely undeveloped, covered in lush tropical forest and surrounded by coves and beaches.
