Why invest in property?

Property has long been one of the most reliable ways to build long-term wealth. Unlike other asset classes, real estate offers:

Strong capital growth potential – Property values increase over time, growing your wealth and providing an asset that can be sold or leveraged to expand your portfolio.
Consistent rental income – Earn passive income while holding an appreciating asset
Tax benefits – Property values increase over time, growing your wealth and providing an asset that can be sold or leveraged to expand your portfolio.
Leverage opportunities – With property, you can use equity and borrowed funds to invest, giving you far greater purchasing power than other asset classes like shares.
Tangible security – Unlike stocks, property is a physical asset that holds intrinsic value and doesn’t disappear overnight due to market fluctuations.

For many Australians, property is the foundation of financial security and freedom. And with demand for housing outpacing supply, the investment case has never been stronger.

Australia needs to build 240,000 new homes annually to meet demand.

But only 180,000 were completed in 2024, according to HIA.

Australia needs investors to help solve the housing crisis

This high demand means: Low vacancy rates. Strong yields.

Australia is in the midst of a housing shortage, and investors play a vital role in providing much-needed homes. With rental vacancy rates at record lows and demand soaring, property investors can benefit from:

✔️ Strong rental returns – More demand means higher rental income.
✔️ Long-term tenant security – Less risk of vacancy and lost income.
✔️ Government incentives – Tax benefits for property investors.

The benefits of investing in new construction

Investing in newly built properties offers unique advantages that can boost your financial returns and long-term investment success:

Higher depreciation tax benefits – New properties allow you to claim significant depreciation on both the building and its fixtures, reducing taxable income and increasing cash flow.
Lower maintenance costs – With brand-new materials, appliances, and structural warranties, you avoid costly repairs often associated with older properties.
Attract better tenants – Tenants are willing to pay a premium for modern, energy-efficient homes with contemporary designs.
Stronger rental demand – In high-growth areas, new homes are in high demand, leading to lower vacancy rates and stable rental income.
Energy efficiency and compliance – New properties meet current building codes, including sustainability features that reduce utility costs for tenants, making them more appealing.

By choosing a new build, you not only maximise your tax advantages but also future-proof your investment with a low-maintenance, high-demand asset.
