Demographics: The Capitol Building was built in 1924 in the Chicargoesque style at 115 Swanston St & is one of the most beautiful examples of quality Art Deco architecture in Melbourne and one of the most sort after. The building has a good mix of owner occupiers and investors. The property is especially well suited for dual occupiers wishing to use the unit as a second home, it is also of interest to people looking to live and work from the city especially young professionals with many of the rentals being offered fully furnished.
115 Swanston St Forecast for the 09-10 Financial Year: Whilst early stagnation in 2009 caused by the GFC saw a reduction in clearance rates we envisage that continuing first home owner interest and buying power will keep the market buoyant in Melbourne.
With interest rates tipped to continue to rise, we could experience a leveling of the general market in 2010 particularly in the pre $500,000 range. Investors have started to make a comeback in 2010 with first home owners lose their puff and buying power.
