Residential Real Estate

Australians have always been passionate about real estate, currently we are one of the highest owners per capita of real estate in the world. This is easy to understand as real estate has all the features of a good investment including Security, Income, Capital Growth and Tax incentives. There many reasons why clients start building a property portfolio, but generally it is about creating a better financial future for themselves and their families, creating equity in their investment portfolio over time, that can be used in the future to pay for things like, Family Holidays, reducing existing mortgage or simply building enough funds for a comfortable retirement.

Reasons to invest in property

* Property Prices - The medium house price in Australia is expected to double in the next 12 years, with property prices averaging 9.4% growth per year for the past forty year.
* Population Growth - Australia’s population is expected to grow to 35 million by 2050.Therefore there will need to be six million new dwellings built in the next 50 years. Currently, there are not enough rental properties to house the booming population with vacancy rates hovering at 1.7 percent and lower. This is sending rental rates to record high as demand outweighs supply.
* Tax Breaks - Australia offers unique tax benefits to property investors. Investors can take advantage of these benefits through negative gearing, meaning that you can use these tax incentives to work for you.
