By

Investing in property can be a lucrative investment strategy, but as we’ve written about before it is important to understand the risks and rewards associated with investing in regional areas versus capital cities. The debate continues.  Investing in property in regional areas can offer investors lower property prices and potentially higher rental yields compared to investing in capital cities. However, regional areas can also come with their own set of risks such as lower demand and limited tenant pool, leading to longer vacancy periods and potentially lower rental income. Additionally, regional areas may not experience the same level of capital …

By

There are many reasons why housing is so expensive in Australia,  but there’s one major reason that overrides all the others.  Politicians keep adding to the cost.  Housing is ridiculously expensive in this country and it keeps getting more so because all three levels of government treat the Housing Industry as a cash cow.  They love to milk the Housing Industry for revenue and they’re Adept at finding new and innovative ways to create new taxes, fees and charges or increase the existing ones.   Politicians think they can do this with little electoral risk because as they see it they’re …

By

You know the story. You go on holiday, you have a wonderful time, you love the relaxed lifestyle, and wow you could really live in this place.

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 …

Are you concerned that property prices will crash?

By

Many Australians think the housing market is vulnerable and a price crash is possible. And they would be forgiven for thinking this, given the relentless click bait and negative press that property received from the national press.  As Australia’s favourite asset class you can see why this is a topic close to everyone’s heart. Remember that the national press is obsessed with Sydney and Melbourne as that’s where most of them are based and most of their readers are based. We can state again for the record that Australia is made up of many different housing markets. They all experience …

The past few weeks has seen a significant uptick in doom and gloom reporting. We have monthly reports of softening property prices, scary projections of dwelling value falls, plus, never-ending conjecture on where interest rates will end up peaking. All in all, the plethora of bad property news is really starting to bum me out! And it’s not because market conditions are not producing moderating metrics. Rather, it’s that all the negative reporting is making people think that property has all of a sudden become a bad idea, when that’s just not the case.  Reason for optimism Recently, the Property …
