“While there are opportunities in all price brackets, at the moment we’re seeing great buys around the $500,000 to $700,000 price range in blue-chip areas,” he said.
“These properties often provide good yields and are well maintained. They’re also the ones to bounce back quickly, particularly once the lower-end activity thrives again.”
Mr Solano warned, however, that there was a limited window of opportunity for investors in this price bracket. He said lower-end market activity would likely soon push property prices upwards.
“Especially when property owners realise it’s time to sell their cheaper property for a good price upgrade to a much better quality property for a little more. It’s all about the ripple effect,” he said.
“Negotiation is key right now – on price and due diligence – especially as competition returns to the market. The days of dawdling around on price look like they’re in the rear-view mirror.”
Despite the opportunities, Mr Solano said investors still needed to be careful not to "just jump into anything".
