Ray White Carnegie’s Matt Hurlston: Growing population figures offer investment opportunities

By Matt Hurlston

The rising Victorian population offers a number of benefits to residents of Carnegie real estate – ranging from economic growth through to rising employment opportunities and future infrastructure expansion.

However, the latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics could present great chances for property investment in the local community, offering a lucrative opportunity for wealth generation over the coming years. 

Over the year ending 31 March, the Victorian population increased by 108,757 people, with an annual growth rate of 1.9 per cent – outstripping the national average of 1.7 per cent over the same period. Treasurer Michael O'Brien said the main source of migration was from New South Wales, followed by South Australia and Queensland.

"Victoria has recorded its highest net interstate migration on record. Every state and territory around the country sent more people to live in Victoria than left our state," said Mr O'Brien in a 25 September statement.
