Rents hit record high in 2022 despite market slowdown An easing of Australia’s rental market in the final quarter of 2022 was not enough to halt the country’s annual rents growing at record highs, according to new research from Corelogic. The peak

28/10/2022

New analysis has revealed two big reasons why rents, which are already rising steeply, are set to continue increasing.

First, the number of properties listed for rent is much lower than pre-pandemic, in both capital cities and regional areas, according to PropTrack economist Angus Moore. So supply has fallen.

Second, Australian Bureau of Statistics data show a significant increase in migrant and foreign student numbers. That means demand is rising.

"Extra demand from returning migration amid tight housing availability will contribute to the ongoing rapid advertised rent price growth we are seeing," he said.

"We’re already seeing signs consistent with that dynamic. Rents are growing especially quickly in areas that recent migrants typically move to – these are mostly inner-city areas, often near major universities."

Mr Moore said "rents are likely to continue growing briskly" in the foreseeable future.

"Vacancy rates are low across much of the country and, with population growth returning, rental demand shows little sign of tempering."

Property prices may go up or down in the short-term, but history suggests they increase in the long-term.

That’s the key takeaway from a CoreLogic analysis of property prices over the 30 years to July 2022.

Australia's median property price increased 382% during that 30-year period. Houses outperformed units (453% v 307%) and metro locations outperformed regional locations (409% v 294%).

Crucially, property prices didn’t grow so strongly because there were never any downturns; they grew strongly despite regular downturns along the way.

“Over that 30-year period, we have seen six distinct cycles of growth and an equal number of cycles of decline (including the current downswing) across the national index,” according to CoreLogic.

“Each of the upswings and downturns have been characterised by different environments and catalysts of change such as taxation policy, monetary policy decisions, economic shocks, fiscal stimulus and broader economic conditions.”

While past performance is no guarantee of future performance, history suggests that homeowners who purchase quality properties and hold them for the long-term enjoy significant capital growth.

Interstate properties and land tax 13/09/2022

Land tax changes in QLD in 2023 will be substantially different for property owners that have investment and holiday homes in multiple states. An owner's land tax liability will not only be based on the land value of the QLD property but also the land value of any interstate properties owned by the same entity (not including owner occupied home). These types of changes illustrate the importance of utilising strategic property investment, lending and accounting advice if you are a property investor.

The government's new climate change legislation will have significant implications for Australian real estate, assuming it gets approved by Senate.

The Climate Change Bill 2022, which has been approved by the House of Representatives, will enshrine into law an emissions reduction target of 43% from 2005 levels by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050.

Real Estate Institute of Australia president Hayden Groves said that while the legislation does not specifically regulate residential real estate, he expects developers will pay more attention to energy efficiency measures and will also become more transparent about the energy efficiency of their buildings.

"And with that, the government hopes, so too will consumer preference and markets. Already, there is an emerging body of research that shows that homes demonstrating sustainable features currently command a premium."

Mr Groves also noted that the government had called its emissions reductions targets a "floor, not a ceiling", which might lead to further sustainability policies or investments in the future.

Property prices to go down 15%!

There is a lot of commentary at the moment about property values going down in most capital cities in Australia. Rising inflation and interest rates justify this, along with data supporting this is going to be the situation in 2022.

Is the best approach to get out, forget about property investment, or just wait until increases are expected and get back on board (with everyone else)?

Now is a great time to plan, sort your finances and be ready to purchase at the bottom of the market, or as close to it as you can. It is also important to note that rental yields and vacancy are at all time highs and lows, crucial factors in property investment.

Suburbs with 3% or below vacancy are considered to be good investments, this says a lot about the current state of the market.
