Hello, everyone.

How are you all doing out there?

I’m Kate Hill bringing you the best and unbiased and honest content on property along with, I think, fantastic hints and tips.

So let’s hear today a bit about properties and the property market back in twenty twenty four and and looking ahead to twenty twenty five.

So there’s a number of markets around the nation that performed really well in twenty twenty four and are set to do so again in twenty twenty five.

One of these, I think, is the Central Coast of New South Wales.

It’s always appealed to Sydneysiders seeking that affordable lifestyle, but its property market leans more towards being a consistent rather than a booming market.

Median house prices rebounded strongly in that LGA after falling a bit in twenty three.

Forty three of the forty nine suburbs analysed by experts recording median house price growth.

A major bonus for investors in the Central Coast market is a low vacancy rate.

Residential vacancies were already well below three percent when COVID struck.

They have fallen further in the years since, which is underpinning rental growth and very solid yields.

So, likewise, the property market in the Redlands region of Greater Brisbane has experienced robust growth over recent years, but it still remains relatively affordable compared, to other parts of Brisbane.

Another great location is Geelong, which has rapidly growing economy, billions of dollars in recent infrastructure expenditure, as well as billions more in other major investments in the years ahead.

Geelong still has more than a number of suburbs with a median house price at around seven hundred thousand, which is, again, a more affordable price point for many home buyers and investors than Melbourne and definitely Sydney.

Many of these suburbs also have super low vacancy rates that underpin potential cash flow and yields for savvy investors.

Increasing numbers of first time property buyers are prioritizing lifestyle flexibility with more and more purchasing an investment property instead of a home to live in.

Millennials are knowledgeable enough to recognise that now is the right time to maximise borrowing capacity given they generally have a decade or more in their careers under their belts, and they are earning decent incomes.

Plus, they are yet to decide whether they will have children as well.

Many younger investors with budgets between five fifty to say six fifty, six hundred and fifty thousand, and are purchasing investment properties in a range of more affordable locations around the nation.

Whether it’s in Geelong or Toowoomba, Greater Brisbane, or Melbourne, many of these first home investors are prepared to purchase interstate and remain as renters in their location of first choice.

Rents have been rising for a few years now, and that is not likely to change next year.

The truth of the matter, I think, is that we simply just don’t have enough rental dwellings to house our current population.

Partly, this is because of the over the top, excessive immigration, catch up inflows that we’ve experienced over recent years.

It’s also because of the plummeting volume of new dwellings being constructed.

Investor activity has been well below average for a number of years too, which means that there simply aren’t enough new investors entering the market to meet rental demand.

Now fundamentally, this means that rents will continue to rise until the supply and demand equilibrium has been restored.

When that will be, really, nobody knows.

Make no mistake, the twenty thirty two Brisbane Olympics is set to be a bit of a game changer for that sunshine state capital and the wider southeast Queensland region in those coming years.

So not only will it have its glistening moment on the global stage, but the plethora of new and upgraded infrastructure will transform its economy, its livability, and its skyline for future generations.

A lot of that infrastructure is in place already, of course, which is why Brisbane got awarded the Olympics in the first place.

Now, of course, property markets across the region have been some of the strongest performers over the past two years anyway with that strength on track, to continue in the lead up to the twenty thirty two games.

It will be the home buyers and investors who make their move soon that stand the best chance of winning property gold by the time the twenty thirty two Olympics officially begin in just eight years’ time.
