As of November 2023, a remarkable resurgence is underway in Australia’s property investment sector. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showcases a notable 18% increase in the value of new investor loans over the past year, signalling a robust return of investors to the property market.
This surge in investment loans underscores a growing confidence among investors in the real estate sector. The figures are particularly compelling given the broader economic landscape, suggesting that property remains a favoured asset class among Australian investors.
The increase is most pronounced in the three most populated states: New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, indicating regional hotspots of investment activity. This trend is essential for investors looking for areas with high growth potential.
The data reveals that investors accounted for a significant portion of lending in November, with a total of $9.72 billion. This is not just a fleeting spike but a consistent upward trajectory that reflects deeper market confidence and interest in real estate investment.
Such a trend is particularly relevant for Aus Investment Properties and its mission. The resurgence of investor activity in the property market aligns with the company’s goal of aiding Australians in securing their financial future through property investing. The current market dynamics present an opportune moment for investors to engage with the market, backed by solid data and a favourable investment climate.

TL;DR The Australian Government has agreed to support an amendment that would ban future limited recourse borrowing arrangements, or LRBAs, for residential property by superannuation funds. Existing SMSF borrowings are not intended to change, and the Government has described a 45-day transition period for investments already in progress. There is no confirmed August cut-off yet, but investors relying on SMSF lending should treat August as a planning window, not a guaranteed deadline.
