Welcome to the latest December 2023 issue of Aus Investment Properties Quarterly Report. This report provides an in-depth examination of the current Australian real estate market, particularly focusing on the average construction costs per square metre (m²) for various types of properties across different states. Our detailed analysis offers essential information for investors aiming to make well-informed decisions in the property sector.
The purpose of the Aus Investment Properties Quarterly Report is to give insights into the fluctuating costs of constructing turn-key investment properties throughout Australia.
What defines a turn-key property? A turn-key investment properties are those fully equipped with all necessary items such as window coverings, fences, landscaping, driveways, paths, and clotheslines, making them ‘Ready to Rent’ upon completion. This contrasts with standard builds where the builder constructs only the house’s basic structure, leaving other elements for the homeowner to finish post-handover. This often results in a significantly lower per square metre construction cost compared to turn-key properties.
For investors, turn-key projects are the preferred choice. These projects offer numerous advantages, notably a fully completed property at handover and a single contact point for any future issues.
How do we collate our data? The data for this report is compiled from properties listed on www.ausinvestementproperties.com.au. We have analysed over 6900 brand new turn-key investments from across Australia to create this thorough report. In instances where there are insufficient property types or representation in certain states and territories to provide a comprehensive analysis, we have omitted them from the results.
