Investment property is still popular as suggested by Google

* Strong interest in property investing

* Lots of foreign investors are interested in buying

* Sydney, Sunshine coast, and Tasmania were the hot spots

Investment property is still popular and seen as good investment move as suggested by the search volume of the top 100 investment property related keywords on Google Australia.

It seems that from February 2010 to September 2010, the interest in property investment was relatively flat. However, there was a spike in October 2011 followed by rapid decrease in November & December 2010. However, the chart indicated that there was still a strong interest in buying investment property. You can see the Top Investment Property Search chart here.

The data also suggests that there are lots of foreign investors who are interested in buying investment property in Australia as lots of search keywords had “australia” in them which I believe local investors will not tend to use.

In addition, the data suggests that Sydney, Sunshine coast, and Tasmania were the hot spots for property investment.
