Why Now is the Best Time to Start Your Property Investment Journey

There’s a saying in property:

“The best time to buy was yesterday. The second-best time is today.”

And right now — despite the headlines — we believe it’s one of the best opportunities we’ve seen in years for new investors to enter the market.

While others sit on the sidelines, smart buyers are positioning themselves for long-term growth. Here’s why.

1. Rents Are Rising Faster Than Ever

Rental demand across most capital cities and regional hubs has surged, with vacancy rates at record lows.

In some suburbs, rents have increased by 10–20% in the past 12 months — and investors are seeing:

✔️ Strong rental yields

✔️ Short vacancy periods

✔️ Long-term tenant demand

2. Interest Rates May Be Peaking

After several consecutive rate hikes, we’re approaching the top of the interest rate cycle. Many lenders are already offering competitive fixed rates, and borrower sentiment is starting to recover.

Getting in now means you can:

✅ Lock in strong rents

✅ Ride the next growth wave

✅ Avoid buyer competition when the market heats up

3. Government Incentives for New Builds

First-time and second-time investors can still benefit from:

  • Stamp duty concessions (state dependent)

  • First Home Owner Grant (for eligible buyers)

  • Tax depreciation benefits on new homes

We help our clients access these where applicable — often saving them tens of thousands on their first investment.

4. Long-Term Growth Fundamentals Remain Strong

Australia continues to face:

✔️ A national housing shortage

✔️ Net overseas migration at record levels

✔️ Undersupply in key growth corridors

That’s a perfect storm for well-located, investment-grade property to perform over the next decade.
