Market update: Property investors are sitting on the sidelines – but should they be?
Property investors are waiting for prices to fall, but hesitation could be creating the biggest missed opportunity in today’s market.
On The Smart Property Investment Show, Liam Garman is joined by Emilie Lauer and Julian Barnes to discuss the biggest stories shaping the market, including falling mortgage demand, shifting investor sentiment, and new opportunities for buyers.
The trio explores why more investors are considering new builds following the federal tax changes, while warning that complex contracts and project delays can quickly turn a good deal into a costly mistake.
They also discuss the rush into self-managed super funds (SMSF) ahead of the residential borrowing deadline, Westpac’s latest lending changes, and why interest rate expectations remain divided.
Finally, the episode examines why softer competition, increased vendor discounting, and a more balanced market could give prepared investors greater negotiating power than they’ve had in years.
