PROPERTY INVESTORS

Property investors are feeling a little uneasy right now because of the up and coming Federal Budget announcement to be on May 12 with the speculation continuing to build around potential changes to:

  • Capital Gains Tax
  • Negative Gearing
  • Broader property investment taxation
Let's be perfectly clear, nothing has been formally announced or confirmed at this stage.
But for real estate, perception often moves markets before the policy does.

With investors already under pressure and now they are considering what's going to happen in the future with all these possible changes, they are reassessing their portfolios due to:

  • Rising interest rates
  • Cost of living pressures
  • Significant equity growth since purchasing between 2020 and 2025
  • Tenancy law reforms in many states are shifting further towards protecting the tenants
  • They are concerned about the future of taxation and regulations 
Investors are definitely quietly asking themselves whether property is still the right vehicle for them. (really good questions to be honest as it can vary a lot depending on what stage you are in in your life)

We cannot give financial advice but we can make you aware of what's happening, give you an equity check.

Don't leave it too late however, as your property will hit the market with lots of others that have decided to bail out on property. (Government will have no one to blame but themselves). This will mean a lot less rentals will be available, which means a rental hike in the future.

Take away investors and you are certainly going to light a fire you might not be able to put out, you can tell this Government is not pro property.

It's going to be a shemozzle for sure and the mass exodus will come. You can trust this government to make a complete f...k up of it.

So what investor are you:

  • Stay the course
  • Fence sit and wait for clarity
  • Sell in isolation and go early
We do know we are still light on for properties but every week there are more coming on and it will have a lot to do with the investors. 

Give us a call for an equity check on your property but let's see if you should sell or not that's the $100 dollar questions isn't it. 

MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS AND GIVE IT A REAL GO!!!
SELLING MOSMAN PARK & THE WESTERN SUBURBS!!!
KEEPING IT REAL IS OUR MOTTO!!!
