Investment Overview

In recent years, Christchurch's City fringe suburbs have experienced remarkable growth. The city, especially its inner core, has undergone significant reconstruction and revitalization efforts following the earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. These initiatives have ignited a surge in construction and infrastructure development, opening up numerous opportunities in Christchurch's residential property market.

From 2003 onwards, median house prices in Merivale specifically have steadily risen, averaging an impressive 8.0% annual increase. This 20-year growth rate surpassed the citywide average of 7.0%. While a 1% difference may seem insignificant at first glance, the true impact becomes clear when we delve into the numbers.

Imagine an investor contemplating the purchase of a 2-bedroom townhouse at 62 Derby Street for $725,000 or a similar property in a middle-order suburb like Spreydon for $650,000. Undoubtedly, Spreydon is the more affordable option initially. However, assuming the investor has the ability to secure finance for either property, their future self may very well thank them for opting for the higher-priced Merivale property over the next decade.

Based on growth rates of 7.0% and 8.0% respectively, and purchase prices of $650,000 and $725,000, projections indicate that the Spreydon townhouse could appreciate to $1,278,648 in value over the next 10 years, while 62 Derby Street could potentially reach $1,565,221. Consequently, if the investor borrows 100% of the purchase price, choosing Merivale now rather than Spreydon could potentially result in a nearly $200,000 difference in equity over the next decade.
