Victorian rental reforms – what you need to know

If there has been one location that has been in the news – and in not in a good way – more than anywhere else because of the of the parlous state of its sales and rental markets this year it is Victoria. The Victorian market has been variously described as “challenging” and even “toxic” by some commentators, however, as I written about this year, there are areas that remain ripe for strategic property investment such as Geelong. A key part of the reason why Victoria’s market is a bit on the nose – to put it politely – is

Investors are fleeing Melbourne

Investors are continuing to flee Melbourne – Why?

It’s never a good time to sell when property prices are falling and, yet, investors are doing that in great numbers in Melbourne. The million-dollar (or less than $1 million median house price there these days) question is why? Why would anyone decide to sell when market conditions may negatively impact your sale price – apart from those with the urgent financial need to do so?Policy problemsTo understand why, we also need to consider that this time a few years ago, investors were quite happy in Melbourne and Victoria. Sure, property prices didn’t boom as much there as they did

The impact of new tenancy laws across Australia

Is it Time to Rethink Property Investment? The Impact of New Tenancy Laws across Australia

The landscape of property investment in Australia is undergoing a seismic shift, with new tenancy laws shaking the confidence of landlords across the country. This month, New South Wales (NSW) has joined the ranks of other states like Queensland (QLD), South Australia (SA), Victoria (VIC), and Western Australia (WA) in implementing stricter rules governing the relationship between landlords and tenants. While these changes are designed to provide greater security for renters, they have also raised significant concerns among property investors. The question on many landlords’ minds is whether these changes might make property investment too risky or burdensome. The Core

Why are so many people buying in Geelong?

Why so many people are moving to, and buying property in, Geelong? If you imagine some of the fabulous regional places around Australia that people often move to, you no doubt picture locales near the ocean – and you’d be partly right. In fact, the two fastest growing regional areas in the nation are the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast in South East Queensland. But, here’s the thing, the third place-getter doesn’t have the profile of either of these places, and it is hardly where most people would spend their holidays either, yet, it this major region is pulling

Investor exodus Victoria

Investor exodus means now is the time to buy in Victoria

With the prevailing narrative being that property investors are fleeing Victoria in droves, we believe that savvy investors should be doing the opposite. There had been much media attention on investors deserting Victoria because of its new land tax policy as well as a raft of rental reforms, but the fundamentals of the nation’s second most populous state remained overwhelmingly positive. Now is the time to invest in Victoria because of much lower competition from other investors. In the grand scheme of things, property expenses and taxes are part and parcel of owning investment properties over the long-term and they

Is Victoria still a good place to invest?

Melbourne’s property market has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past year, transitioning from a struggling market to a growing one and emerging as a national leader in growth momentum. Nearly half of Greater Melbourne’s suburbs are now considered rising markets, with an impressive 87% of them showing positive rankings in Terry Ryder’s Hotspotting analysis. This shift represents a significant turnaround from the situation at the beginning of 2023. This resurgence in market activity extends across the entire Greater Melbourne area, with the exception of the Mornington Peninsula. Most locations are experiencing thriving market conditions. Furthermore, Melbourne’s inner-city apartment market,

Ballarat Town Centre

Why I am bullish about Ballarat

There has been plenty written about the strength of Australia’s regional property markets over the past two years in particular. However, some major regional centres were making property waves long before that because of their growing populations and significant new or upgraded infrastructure. A case in point in Ballarat, which is only just over one hour’s train journey on the new and improved line north of Melbourne. Ballarat has been classed as one of our nation’s strongest regional cities from a property investment point of view for some time because of its diverse economy, low unemployment, population growth, as well
