Boom Towns are locations impacted by resources activity or undergoing an economic surge from major projects such as power stations, desalination plants or wind farms.
Often such developments involve capital investment of $500 million or $1 billion or more - and their construction and ongoing operation place pressure on housing supply. This drives rents and property values higher, presenting opportunities for investors who understand the dynamics and risks of such markets.
Because of the inherent risks in buying in one-industry locations, we are reluctant to recommend mining towns as hotspots. We prefer regional areas which may derive benefit from resources activity but are not totally dependent on it. Therefore the locations featured in our Boom Towns report tend to be large towns or small cities which have well-rounded economies.
