When something awful is happening to a lot of people, it helps if those in charge have someone to conveniently blame. Investors of Australia, this is where you come in.
Startling new research shows hundreds of thousands of rental properties have been stripped from rental markets around the nation with investors offloading properties in Victoria and Queensland in particular – the states leading the war on private landlords.
Since the last edition, our sector has unfortunately been hit with a variety of new attacks on investors – seemingly as a way to reduce rental prices. PIPA has been publicly representing the interests of members and consumers in each one of these investor strikes and will continue to do so, thanks to the continued support of our members.
With an influx of new entrants flooding the industry, inexperienced and untrained ‘faux’ advisers are on the rise. Stay ahead of the game and learn how to navigate this landscape with our expert insights and analysis.
Our 2022 PIPA Annual Investor Sentiment Survey created a national media frenzy when it was released in late September.
It also produced the first dataset that shows what has happened to rental supply – investors have offloaded their properties in the hundreds and thousands.
Since the last issue, we have seen a new Federal Government installed, rising interest rates, and softening market conditions.
However, members are reporting solid client enquiry with plenty of savvy property buyers and investors perhaps waiting for market conditions to change before entering, or returning, to the market.
The first quarter of the year is nearly done already, and it’s been another challenging period for many of us.
While the start of the year began with such promise, with state and international borders reopening and high vaccination rates nationally, Mother Nature soon unleashed on New South Wales and Queensland.
We have finally reached the end of a property year that we will likely never experience again in our lifetimes.
Reflecting on this time last year, there were signs that markets were set to roar in 2021 – and they certainly did that!
This issue is our special annual investor sentiment survey edition, which outlines many of the results from this year’s survey.
As you know, last year’s survey foreshadowed the property price growth that lay ahead – and it seems even more investors believe prices will keep rising this time around too.
This year has so far been one for the history books when it comes to property price performance, hasn’t it?
Price growth has been significant in most parts of the nation, with few signs that will materially change anytime soon.
There is no question that the start of 2021 has created property market conditions most of us haven’t experienced in our lifetimes.
The ultra-low interest rate environment, coupled with the uncertainty of 2020 being behind us and our nation’s impressive handling of the pandemic thus far, has clearly supercharged markets across the nation.
I don’t think I’m the outlier when I say we will all be very glad to see the back of 2020 soon.
The start of this year brought so much promise to markets across the land, which were then dashed when the pandemic landed on our shores.
