Why Invest in the Australian Property Market?
Pros
- Australia is a mature market where property investment is key part of many people’s mindset. As a result, it is well set up for property investors
- It has historically produced good capital growth, broadly following the 7-10 year cycle of property values doubling every 10 years
- The economy is well supported by the mining boom which has protected the market from any major downturn that many other countries have seen since the GFC
- There are many tax breaks available to reduce any losses
Cons
- There is much conjecture on Australian property prices being potentially overvalued and due a major correction. At best growth forecasts are flat to 5% per year for the foreseeable future
- Many of the “buy and hold” investment opportunities are negatively geared due to the low rental yields in place. Bearing in mind the growth forecasts, it is likely that in order to see a return people will need to look for “creative” or “value add” strategies
- Whilst the market is mature and advanced for property investors, spruiking is still common place especially in property development and “off the plan” opportunities
