58 | Will apartments value drop by 50%?

In recent weeks, a few lenders have begin to tighten their terms and conditions on apartments in certain suburbs across Australia. Needless to say, some commentators are putting a blanket statement on the future of apartments and claims that they are looking rather bleak at the moment. However, how much impact will these changes have on apartments value and if so, will it affect all types of apartments?

Listeners that have followed this podcast since its inception would know about Bryce and Ben’s view on apartments. Whether it is a brand new one bedroom apartment in the city centre or an attractive off the plan deal, our hosts still prefer established apartments in great locations. As property investment advisor and buyer’s agents, they have advised hundreds of clients to invest in apartments so, are they worried about this lending restriction? Are they expecting a massive drop in apartments value and where are they seeing this happening? Listen to this podcast to find out more.

51 | Will Labor’s proposed changes to Negative Gearing policy be good or bad for ordinary Australians?

What an interesting weekend! We always knew that the negative gearing debate was one that would never fade away but last weekend on 13th of February 2016, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten used his speech to the NSW ALP conference to unveil some possible changes to negative gearing should Labor win the next election. Needless to say, this opens up a lot of conversations and debates surrounding what this policy would involve, what data the decision is based on, the policies’ framework and its implications.

In his speech, Bill Shorten mentioned that if Labor wins the next election, from July 2017 onward, negative gearing will only be available on newly constructed homes. This is to improve the efficiency and fairness of the Australian Taxation system and he reiterated that the changes will not affect existing negatively geared properties. Furthermore, this policy will also reduce the subsidy on CGT from 50% to 25%. You can read the rest of his speech here.

As property investment advisors, property analysts and professionals who are actively involved in the industry, Bryce and Ben are both aware that any negative gearing changes would have a ripple effect on the Australian property market as well as the general economy. Decisions that are made without considering all the impacts on the market would mean history repeating itself again such as the brief change in negative gearing in 1985. Hence, in this podcast they analyse Labor’s proposed changes and explain the good and bad aspects of those changes.

 

It is important to note that Bryce and Ben’s comments and opinions in today’s podcast are their own and not the position of the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA).

They started the podcast by discussing the signs and indicators of a changing market. As Ben mentioned in the podcast the leading indicators of a changing market is usually a month or six weeks behind.

With dwelling approvals remaining close to record high levels and the latest housing credit data suggesting a slowing investment credit growth, will this lead to an oversupply in the Australian property market?

All these factors are a cause for concern for most property investors especially when there is a lack of awareness in this industry.
