What makes a good investment property?

What makes a good investment property?

Reduced buyer competition, increased choice, softer prices, and extremely tight rental markets mean now is the prime time for property investors to act. And it’s not just cashed-up and seasoned landlords who are able to take a step up the property ladder, there’s plenty of opportunities for first-time investors with a solid strategy in place.

How much more interest you’re paying on your mortgage

How much more interest you're paying on your mortgage

The RBA raised interest rates by another 50 bps in July, and the market expectation is that it’ll rise by another 1.5% by the end of the year. Homeowners in affordable, family-friendly suburbs may be most affected by the Reserve Bank of Australia’s recent interest rate rises, new data suggests, and PropTrack economist Angus Moore explains how this will affect mortgage holders.

How has the Australian home changed?

How has the Australian home changed?

From dark boxes to light-filled living, Aussie homes have come to embrace the great outdoors. Now, there’s another shift underway.

For a country flooded with sunlight, it’s odd that so many traditional homes were quite dark, small and internally focused. However, it makes more sense when you consider the origins of Australian house design – the settler experience. Most homes were simply a masonry box with windows, sitting around a very symmetrical layout with a roof on it.

Things have certainly changed, with light, space and the outdoors now embraced and celebrated in home design. But it has been quite an evolution – and there is more change on the horizon.

Is the Great Australian property dream still realistic?

Is the Great Australian property dream still realistic?

A quarter-acre block with a family sized home and big backyard was long desired by Australian buyers. But is this dream still realistic?

Our love for the big family home took hold when new suburbs were being developed rapidly and there was abundant space for low-density living. This is simply not as viable in today’s competitive market.

House prices Australia-wide have accelerated significantly in recent times, making the purchase of large blocks and homes more challenging – particularly for first home buyers. So what are developers doing to help the affordability crisis? Is there a solution?

The new community rising out of an old cotton mill

The new community rising out of an old cotton mill

We sometimes take it for granted, but almost every built community across Australia was at one point merely lines on a drawing board. Of course, communities are much more than physical structures or institutions — they’re a place where you feel you truly belong.

The best new residential developments are those embraced wholeheartedly by the community. While established suburbs have had years for people to forge connections, for new communities to flourish, property developers need to get the ingredients right from day one.

And if you’re attempting to breathe new life into an area with a rich history like the old Bradmill factory in Yarraville – before you start you need to consult those that it means the most to, the community.

How will we be living in the future?

How will we be living in the future?

When thinking about how Australians might be living by the middle of the century, it’s easy to picture scenes of sky homes and robot butlers from The Jetsons.
