Navigating the Shifting Tides of Australia's Property Market: Insights for 2024

As 2023 concluded, the Australian property landscape witnessed a moderated growth in property prices, with a 8.1% increase in dwelling values. However, this trend was influenced by various factors, including interest rate fluctuations and the balance of supply and demand in different regions.

Looking ahead to 2024, investor demand is anticipated to rise, driven by the country’s extremely low vacancy rates. According to SQM Research, the national vacancy rates remained low at 1.3% in December, underscoring the ongoing need for more housing across Australia. This persistent low vacancy rate signals a robust demand for rental properties, creating an attractive environment for property investors.

The Ripple Effect of Low Vacancy Rates on Australian Property Investors: Australia’s property market is feeling the impact of persistently low vacancy rates. This trend is creating a favourable environment for investors, as the demand for rental properties soars. With fewer rental options available, property investors are experiencing increased rental yields, making property investment more attractive. This scenario underscores the urgency for additional housing to meet the growing rental demand. For investors, this presents an opportune moment to expand their portfolios, capitalising on the strong rental market driven by these low vacancy rates.

New vs Established Investment Property in 2026: Why the Tax Rules Now Favour New Builds

New vs Established Investment Property in 2026: Why the Tax Rules Now Favour New Builds

From 1 July 2027, two investors paying the same price for the same rent can face very different tax bills, simply because one dwelling is new. New builds keep negative gearing against salary and the option of the 50% CGT discount, while established dwellings bought after Budget night largely lose both. Our illustrative modelling across Ipswich, Melton and Cessnock puts a new build about $11,500 to $12,500 a year cheaper to hold.

Are High Yield Properties the Future of Property Investing?

Are High Yield Properties the Future of Property Investing?

TL;DR The May 2026 Federal Budget abolished negative gearing for established properties purchased after 12 May 2026 and will replace the 50 per cent CGT discount with indexation from 1 July 2027. New builds are exempt and keep both tax benefits. With ABS data showing rents still rising and housing the biggest driver of inflation, high yield new builds such as co-living, dual occupancy and duplex homes now offer stronger cash flow and better tax treatment.

Solo Renters: The Fastest Growing Force in Australia’s Rental Market

Purpose-built co-living, rooming house and studio accommodation adds multiple self-contained dwellings to a single block, delivers strong yields and targets a tenant pool that is growing every year. The investors who win in this space will be the ones who prioritise quality, compliance and location.

SMSF Residential Property and LRBA Changes: What Investors Need to Know

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.

Australian property market forecasts for 2026 are generally positive, with most analysts expecting moderate price growth across the country. For property investors, however, headline growth figures tell only part of the story.
