6. Low Building activity

Residential investment, as a share of the 2009 GDP, was down to 2.4 percent, the lowest level on record since 1945. Large cuts in homebuilding have likely brought the long-term supply and demand for housing closer to a balance.Fewer homes were started in 2009 than any year since World War II’ (Source: ‘The State of the Nation’s Housing 2010’, The Joint Centre for Housing Studies of Harvard University). New home permits were also down signifi cantly. This suggests that starts will stay below normal levels for some time.

Reasons to invest

1. High level of bank foreclosures across the United States

In December 2010 there were over 257,747 foreclosures, or 1 in every 501 households received a foreclosure fi ling. Total foreclosures sit at 2.9m as at December 2010 (Source: Realty Trac).

Foreclosures by fi nancial intuitions has created nearly 3 million dwellings being foreclosed in the U.S.A., combined with historical low interest rates, low housing sales activity, low building activity with historical high AUD exchange rates, is creating a very compelling investment

opportunity to generate strong returns in residential real estate in the United States.

2. Historical High AUD v’s USD

The AUD has appreciated to its highest level in the last decade to the USD, recording a record high of 102 cents per each US dollar at the end of December 2010 (Source: Federal Reserve).

This provides a unique opportunity to purchase property at auction or from bank owned property (REO) at attractive prices and lease them out at attractive yields. Rental yields are running at between 10 to 20% per annual in most major cities within the US.

Renter households grew by 3.4 million between 2004 and 2009 with the minority share of renters reaching 45 percent in 2009 (Source: US Census Bureau).

30 Year Fixed Mortgage Rate 5. Steep decline in property values

In 2010, as a result of lower home prices and interest rates, the mortgage payment on a median-priced home fell below 20 percent of the average household income, the lowest level since 1971.

The high number of foreclosures provides an opportunity to purchase direct residential property at below market values and at a substantial discount to values of property in 2007. Since the peak of the residential property market in 2006 property values have fallen by $9 trillion. (Source: Bloomberg)
