Hi all,
I'm about to buy my first home in Auckland and am trying to pick a suburb that has good potential for capital growth. I read a lot of articles which supposedly list the "hot suburbs", but this is usually based on recent price appreciation, e.g. I know one site lists Milford as the "hottest suburb" because median prices increased by 41% in 2015.
What I'm confused about is whether the "hot" suburbs (the ones with massive recent price appreciation, e.g., Milford) are ones I should steer clear of (because they've "done their dash") or consider buying in (because there seems to be a lot of demand).
So, is recent rapid price appreciation a good or bad sign in terms of potential for future capital growth?
Thanks for any advice!
