As owner of a rental in Burnie, I get a few calls from the agent I bought from 3 years ago. They tell me property sales are booming (well, they would, wouldn't they?), but scepticism aside, I would think prospects for the NW towns are pretty good.
Economy is fragile - a couple of majpr employers have scaled down or closed up in recent months, but I suspect there's a prospect of increased demand for agriculture-based growth. Mining is a bit of a dark horse.
Sea Changers are probably the biggest propects for urban growth.
Burnie's an interesting little town - somehow these places keep on going during the hard times.
With rural/regional Tassie, however, the biggest investment isn't money, it's time.
I bought a well-presented, mid-range weatherboard in 2006 for $164,000. Maybe time for an updated professional valuation, but I think it could go now for 210,000, which is acceptable given the last 3 years.
