Dashdot Insider

Here’s a truth bomb: From 2020 to 2022, the cost of living in Australia has skyrocketed. With the government putting $240 billion into the economy each year, household expenses have been on a continuous rise. At this rate, living costs could go up even further by 18-20% for a family of four. But it’s not just household expenses going up. With more money going around, property prices are getting pushed upwards, too. In fact, some properties are already selling for much more than advertised due to high demand and not enough supply. This is squeezing more and more people out of the property market. So, if you’ve got the means to take advantage of this perfect storm while we’re in it, you better take quick action. If you do, then you could be in for a very good year of investing in property. So stay informed, have a plan, and seek expert advice to make the most of what is shaping up to be a record-breaking year for property growth.

We're breaking down what's driving property prices in 2024 and why it's a big deal for investors like YOU. Property prices have been on the rise, especially for homes under 600k. That’s driven by high interest rates messing with how much people can borrow. Meaning, more folks are scrambling to buy, pushing prices even higher. And with banks loosening up their lending rules, it's like they're handing out cash left and right. On top of all that, the government's trying to fix a job shortage by bringing in more migrants, but it's creating a housing mess in the process. Looks like they're solving one problem by making another. For the average joe, this all smells like trouble. But for investors like you, it's a golden opportunity. With hardly any empty rentals and properties already worth more than what tenants are paying, you're sitting pretty. So, buckle up, because 2024 is gearing up to be a record-breaking year for property growth. Don't miss out on the chance to ride this wave of success with us!
