In 2003, investors accounted for more than 50% of the market, today this number has decreased to around 7%. Now is supposed to be the perfect time to invest in the Gosford market as prices will not fall any lower. Lack of investor competition also means that those who are now re-entering the market are snapping up bargains.
Investors seem to be sitting on their hands in the residential market although enquiries are up and this represents a signal that although investors remain non-committal they sense an opportunity may have arrived and are preparing to re-enter the market. As market momentum gathers, and prices confirm the changing tide, expectation is that there will be a significant increase in investor activity.
