We love assisting home buyers with their purchases. And it’s great to know they enjoy working with us too.

As we are very bullish on property investment as a long term wealth creation tool, we tend to always be wearing this hat when it comes to asset selection, even for first home buyers and owner occupier purchases.

Understanding what certain locations and property types are selling for, their longer term historical growth trends, intrinsic value and what the current demand is for each asset type, plays a big part in what we would or wouldn’t advise a client to purchase.

Congratulations to Sam, on this purchase, that’s not only going to be a home, but a property that will position him well, with options into the future.

Treasury's analysis of negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount may have overstated the tax benefits for residential property investors.

The May 12 budget included Treasury analysis showing how negative gearing, combined with the 50% capital gains tax discount, provided large tax breaks for real estate investors — in some cases leaving investors paying less income tax than they would have without the property.

AFR reporting this week found that analysis failed to account for state property taxes paid by investors, including land tax and council rates, which reduce the net benefit of the arrangements.

The finding adds to a growing backlash against the federal budget's property tax changes in the weeks since they were announced.

Whether Treasury's modelling will be revised before the legislation is drafted, and what that might mean for the policy design, remains to be seen.

The RBA rate tracker is currently pricing in just a 4% chance of an interest rate rise at the next meeting in 3 weeks time.

While we still may see further rises later in the year, buyers should have more certainty around lending capacity until the August meeting.

We are in a small opportunistic buying window right now, with less competition than what has been, during the first quarter of the year.

There are a few panic sellers out there right now, reacting to a combination of interest rate rises, global events and the recent budget release.

We’ve seen these windows open and close quickly in the past and this one is no different.

It actually reeks of the early COVID 19 hysteria that paused the market briefly before taking off.

An increase of off market properties coming across our desk looking for quick sales. The winners will be those who take action.

New Zealand’s migration policy tightening from 2024, enforced stricter work visa rules, higher skill & wage thresholds and tighter student visa scrutiny.

This coupled with an increased outflow of Kiwis migrating to the likes of Australia, slowed the over all Net migration numbers substantially.

In turn, rental growth stagnated to almost zero. Property prices also stagnated & dropped.

Yet here we are in Australia, forecasted to grow another 1.4 million over the next 4 years.

Further to this, have a look at the rent growth for the period they removed negative gearing between 2021 and 2024 📈

With the removal of negative gearing benefits for investors, the Australian government have “modeled” the new changes, with rents only forecast to rise $2 per week apparently.

Let’s see how accurate they are

Negative Gearing - the talk of the town this week.

Simple scenario for people wondering the difference if (yes if) the changes get through senate:

If your income is 100k and your property is negatively geared (costs you in interest, rates, insurances etc after rent received) by $15,000 per year, your negative gearing benefit (what you will get back at tax time) is $5150 per year.

This loss is now carried forward to future years, to decrease capital gains at the time of sale or when the property starts paying for its self/ becomes positive cash flow/geared (rents increase, mortgage or interest rates come down) then the loss paid in previous years will get rolled forward and offset the income the property is generating (cash flow without being taxed)

The main challenge investors face, is reduced servicability or borrowing capacity, since banks may take the negative gearing add back out of their calculators, so lower budget investors may get priced out or forced to buy lower priced properties - which was likely going to happen anyway with some investors targetting higher yields.

A 5k a year negative gearing benefit is not likely going to stop people from buying properties.

Don’t let the media and headlines scare you. Do the math and work on facts and not emotion.

That’s the play Albo recuns.

Infill suburbs, subdividable property, retaining the existing and building a new dwelling on the land.

Keep some gearing benefits & depreciation coming through without building out in woop woop. (Couldn’t believe he used the term woop woop, but anyway)

He gave us the nod, at our Thornlie site - a nice 1000m2 corner block, retaining the exisiting dwelling, giving it a reno and building 2 new 4x2 homes either side.

We will then likely sell the existing dwelling, nice and cheap, for a first home buyer and keep the new builds.

This property was bought before the budget, so will retain all of the original tax benefits, however, post budget, depending on the buyers structuring and goals, a strategy to consider if they have the capacity.

We will do our best to fix the housing supply Albo, you just keep those $250 tax concessions coming, cobba.

"Not really a fan of those tiles" Me neither.

Buyers can get caught up in the little things. They major in the minors, which can cause substantial delays in decision making. This client didn't love the previous owner's taste in bathroom decor & we couldn't agree more.

Fortunately, the property wasn't being bought to live in.

We bought it because it was a 4x2 on 818m2 of land, in a desirable, owner occupier driven suburb, with scope to improve at a later stage.

And to today, it's still occupied with happy tenants, with blue tiles still on the walls.

And a cool $400k of capital growth.

The end.

Coming soon to Mullaloo 🌊. Highly sought family neighbourhood, secured off market for $1.475m.

Recent comparables $1.55-$1.6m.

We will manage a circa $75k renovation on this one, doing full bathrooms, laundry, paint and flooring.

Looking forward to seeing the end result.

The WA state government released the budget today, with a few changes that will help first home buyers in the short term.

Longer term it’s more handouts and stimulus, that will put further pressure on the lower end of the market.
