Interesting article discussing the difference in Capital Gains between units and detached houses. Housing is a complicated topic with so many factors and issues affecting supply, demand and price/rents. As the article points out Sydney is landlocked between National Parks/waterways to the north/east/west/south which limits urban sprawl and future supply of land releases. Added to this is the risk with many high density unit complexes now identifying significant defects and the high cost to repair these which further reduce Capital Gains for units in general. Any thoughts? As always please be respectful, inclusive and polite to others. This is for the purpose of encouraging discussion and I am not advocating a particular position. https://lnkd.in/g4bjKUeH

BRISBANE MARKET CHALLENGES | Primary Residence/Owner Occupied Buyers 1. Limited Stock of Turnkey, Ready to Live Properties One significant challenge we're observing currently is the limited stock of turnkey, ready to live properties. Exceptional homes, particularly in blue-chip locales, are in high demand and are being secured almost instantly. This scarcity is creating a highly competitive market where buyers need to act quickly and decisively to secure their desired property. For those seeking a move in ready home, it's crucial to stay informed about new or upcoming listings and be prepared to make swift decisions. 2. Indecision Among Owner-Occupier Buyers Another major challenge is the indecision among many owner-occupier buyers. They're unsure whether to list their current home first to be ready to buy, but worry about not finding the right property in time. On the other hand, arranging bridging finance will alleviate timing issues but introduces additional financial burdens. This dilemma often results in analysis paralysis and missed opportunities. 3. Fluctuating Price Points Fluctuating price points in Brisbane’s bluechip areas add another layer of complexity. Determining the true value of a property can be challenging, and we've seen buyers miss out by being overly opportunistic with their offers. The ever-changing market means that what may seem like a higher offer today could quite simply be the norm tomorrow. 4. Time Given the current stock levels and competition, the time commitment required for a proactive property search. Many buyers are struggling to dedicate the necessary time to stay ahead in this fast-paced market. Balancing work, family, and a thorough property search can be incredibly overwhelming even for experienced buyers that have transacted on property before. Staying informed about new or upcoming listings, evaluating financial options carefully, and making competitive offers are key steps. Leveraging the expertise of market professionals can level the playing field and provide the insights needed to make confident decisions. If you are, or know of an owner-occupier buyer struggling to find the dream home, my team is here to help. Reach out to me directly for a confidential discussion. #BrisbaneRealEstate #OwnerOccupiers #HomeBuyers #RealEstateExpert #TeamOsborn #Prestige

From the article: "They’re $1m-plus homes you can’t live in – with everything from rotting ceilings and floors to interiors strewn with crumbling bricks – but in many parts of Sydney they’re the few houses available to buy. Agents have reported a “severe” shortage of ready-to-move-into houses across the Greater Sydney area as uncertainty over rate rises discourages would-be sellers of turnkey homes from listing. These shortages have been particularly severe in Sydney’s well-connected inner- and middle-ring suburbs, where housing demand has historically been higher." Any agents/conveyancers noticing falling sales volumes recently? I imagine the cold and wet weather is not helping with marketing..... Any thoughts? As always please be respectful, inclusive and polite to others.

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump's much-anticipated nomination for the 2024 presidential election caused ripples far beyond American shores. In fact, we’re witnessing an unexpected phenomenon in the Australian property market. According to a recent report, US-based searches for Australian homes on realestate.com.au have surged by 51% in the year leading up to July. Even more striking, interest in Victorian properties skyrocketed by an astounding 130%.This surge isn't just limited to expats looking to return home. The sustained growth in these searches over the past five years indicates a broader trend of Americans considering a move Down Under. So, why Australia? It’s not solely about escaping potential political turmoil. Factors like universal healthcare, democratic stability, strong employment rates, and competitive wages make Australia an attractive option for those seeking a fresh start. Melbourne, in particular, has emerged as the most sought-after location for overseas property seekers, whether they are looking to rent or buy. But this trend is not just talk. Qi Chen, co-founder of OpenLot.com.au, reported that US traffic to their website jumped 80% in July compared to June—nearly triple the figures from a year ago. Is this a fleeting trend or the beginning of a larger migration pattern? Only time will tell. However, one thing is clear: global politics and local property markets are more intertwined than ever before. What are your thoughts? Comment below
