AU Australia property term

Capital Growth

Australia-wide

Plain-English definition

An increase in a property's value or a market's price measure over time, usually expressed as a percentage.

Why this matters to a foreign buyer

Capital growth is not cash flow and historical growth is not guaranteed. Include buying, holding and selling costs when assessing the investor's actual return.
