Carrot or The Stick?
Hotspotting
In this podcast episode, we dive into the two different approaches that state governments in Australia are taking to address the issue of rental shortage in the housing market. On one hand, Western Australia (WA) has adopted the carrot approach, offering incentives and encouragement to investors to increase the supply of rental properties. On the other hand, Victoria has decided to take the stick approach, punishing investors with new and higher taxes if they do not comply with the government's desires. The WA government has implemented several measures to encourage investors to bring new...

But our criteria also includes prospects for capital gains – and this report features locations which perform outstandingly well on price growth.

Latest Price Data
Hotspotting
The latest price data from two of the biggest sources of real estate information shows a resurgence in the regional areas, in competition with the capital cities. The background to this is that the combined regions have outperformed on capital growth since Covid, with regional areas generally out-performing the big cities in the past four years. But in the past 12 months, the tables have turned somewhat, with the cities overtaking the regions on growth in median prices, led by Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth. Now, we’ve seen another twist, with the latest statistics from both PropTrack and...

Unaffordable Twaddle
Hotspotting
The silliest people skulking around the edges of the property industry are the shallow attention-seekers who pump out nonsense reports claiming that no one can afford to buy property – not because it’s true or useful, but simply to drum up some free publicity for the business who is the source of the misinformation. The shallowness and pointlessness of these reports is demonstrated by the results being seen in property markets, which emphatically contradict the notion that most people can’t buy homes because they’re unaffordable to the vast majority. We are constantly inundated with...

Negative Gearing
Hotspotting
It’s remarkable how many politicians think that the solution to every problem that afflicts the housing market is to scrap negative gearing and make other changes to drum investors out of existence. Want to fix the rental shortage? Scrap negative gearing. Make housing more affordable? Scrap negative gearing. Facilitate the construction of a million new homes in Australia? Scrap negative gearing. The illogic of these attitudes – and the way they run counter to the truth – is quite remarkable. And, while it’s become quite common for politicians and others to recommend the end to negative...

State of the States
Hotspotting
One of the fundamentals of understanding real estate dynamics is remembering that real estate markets are local in nature – and they are influenced by the local economy in which they sit, far more than by national factors. Although economists and journalists often refer to “the Australian property market” and predict what will happen with “Australian property prices”, the reality is that there is no such entity as the Australian property market. Take a look at the price growth results among the eight capital cities for last year and you will note that some had boom growth, some had...
info_outlineAt a time when Australia is buckling under the weight of the dwelling shortage problem, population growth is occurring at record levels, mostly because we are bringing in migrants at unprecedented levels.
The latest data from the ABS shows that the national population rose 2.5% last year.
That means 660,000 added to the Australian population, lifting the total close to 27 million – which is a milestone achieved well ahead of the official government forecasts.
This historically high level of population growth has been fuelled by new people arriving from overseas.
Overseas migration, in fact, accounted for 83% of the increase in population last year, with the rest achieved with “natural increase”, which means that births exceeded deaths.
Net overseas migration was 548,800 – up 60% compared to the previous year.
Those numbers, startling as they are, beg one very big question: where are they all going to live?
We already have an unprecedented shortage of dwellings in this country, especially dwellings available for rental.
The current national vacancy rate, according to Domain, is 0.7%.
Six of the eight capital cities have vacancy rates well below 1%.
The building industry is unable – for a host of reasons - to produce new dwellings at the rate required to keep up with the rapid growth in household formation.
Vacancies are destined to go on falling and the serious under-supply of dwellings will not only continue, but get worse.
And that means the upward pressure on prices and rents will continue.
