5 smart moves: How investors can navigate Australia’s tightening property market
In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant and Lachlan Vidler from Atlas Property Group discuss how investors can navigate today’s property market, with tightening conditions driven by supply shortages, economic shifts, and rising competition.
According to the duo, today’s Australian property market has been challenging, and investors must adapt quickly using five smart strategies to secure strong opportunities.
Lachlan said that, firstly, investors should avoid fear-based decisions and stick to fundamentals as market hype can be misleading.
Secondly, the duo emphasises that preparation is key, as well as being ready to act quickly and giving investors an edge.
Thirdly, investors should lean on the right advisers; experienced professionals like buyer’s agents and mortgage brokers can help navigate complex decisions.
Lachlan said the fourth primary strategy is for investors to think long-term and view property as a decades-long investment, not something driven by headlines.
Lastly, the duo encourages investors to make the most of available resources, including equity, advice, or even superannuation through SMSFs.
