Delacombe

Why Delacombe is an investment destination on the rise

It’s no secret that Ballarat was the apple of many a homebuyer and investor’s eye over the past decade or so. Its location just 100 kilometres from Melbourne, coupled with its relative housing affordability and diverse local economy, saw the region’s property market post solid growth for a number of years.

Chasing cash flow a short-sighted plan

There has been a common question from property investors of late and it’s all to do with cash flow – or rather yields. You see, some new investors have become so fixated on the higher interest rate environment that the only thing they’re thinking about is cash flow. They’d rather search far and wide for a high-yielding property than spend the time necessary to find an income- AND capital-producing asset. Rates rhythm There is no question that the interest rate increases since May last year have impacted an investor’s cash flow – even with higher weekly rents. However, this is …

Why Victoria’s land tax is bad news for investors and tenants

“The increased costs for investors could negatively impact housing supply and hike rental payments for tenants” Victoria’s state budget included a new policy that would see land taxes temporarily increase over the next 10 years, which, according to experts will ultimately hurt property owners and tenants. The state government also plans to cut the tax-free threshold for land tax from $300,000 to $50,000. This change will see additional annual payments of $500 for properties up to $100,000 in value and around $975 for those up to $300,000. Properties exceeding $300,000 will see annual land tax rise by $975 plus 0.1% …

Property sellers ducking for market cover

Do you remember what happened to property markets during the first year of the pandemic? Well, in 2020, amidst a variety of commentators wrongly calling the mother of property busts on the horizon, most sellers and plenty of buyers decided to wait it out. There was a lot of fear and uncertainty back then, for sure, because we were heading into the unknown from a health, economic, and property market perspective. A sense of déjà vu While our nation has experienced economic shocks before – the GFC started in 2008 for example – generally humans behave in the same way …

Why North Adelaide is marching to its own property drum

The plethora of property metrics being published lately is showing some stark differences between locations around the nation. Now, this is not unusual at all, because historically our nation has always been made up of a number of different markets doing different things at the same time because of a variety of diverse economic factors.  That was why the boom market conditions around almost the whole nation during 2021 was so unusual because generally that doesn’t happen.  Now, though, we are definitely starting to see market cycle differences with some select suburbs in Sydney and Melbourne apparently posting double-digit median …

How to prevent overpaying at auction

It’s no great surprise that auction clearance rates are lower than this time last year across our major capital cities with prices in these locations generally reducing. The volume of properties being taken to auction is also well off the boil – down nearly 40 per cent – compared to last year. However, buying at auction is one of the most transparent ways for buyers to purchase property. Why is that? Well, you can literally see and hear your competition, so you know exactly where you stand. Of course, auctions also create a highly competitive environment that can cause some …

How to buy Interstate Property

All savvy property investors are open to buying property interstate, as they aren’t bound to one particular area they ‘know’ or even ’like’ – and so will use up-to-date data to determine where the next hotspots are, to help them to maximise their return, rather than buy in areas they are familiar with, or live close to.  But when you’re getting ready to buy in new locations – even buying interstate – it’s of course extremely important that you do your due diligence, and you know what you are getting into. Every state has its own laws, opportunities and flaws – and …
