Many people are surprised by the extra costs that are inclusive in owning a property. The reality is a 10% deposit and interest payments just don’t cover all the bases. The general running of a complex has to be covered by the owners, and can vary from property to property.

The media extensively covered a ‘stalling housing market’ over the weekend, as monthly results from CoreLogic came out indicating a 0.1 per cent drop in the Sydney median house price from August to September. As seasonal factors typically influence how much property is sold and for what price over the course of a calendar year, monthly changes are rarely a good measure in the property market.

When reading headlines about the property market, you’ll usually find them targeting a region or city rather than considering the merits of one suburb to the next, or even one property to the next, which is how the Blue Wealth Property research model is structured. In our micro research two integral parts are ‘Design’ and ‘Amenity’, but if you find the best growth areas do these elements really matter?

When making a decision we are influenced by many variables. Often, the best approach is to take a step back and look at the big picture.

‘Hold your property long term’, those would be my last words. You’re probably wondering what I’m talking about but keep reading, you’ll see.

As a research analyst it can be easy to get bogged down in daily data analysis, so it is important to continue paying attention to what’s happening in the real world. However, after noticing my local friend-group shrinking since the most recent Sydney property boom that began in 2012, I was prompted to revisit the trends we were anticipating in years past related to lifestyle and affordability in our major east coast capitals.

Newsflash! Sydney’s property market has had a strong run of growth since 2009. In the five years to December 2016, the proportion of suburbs in Sydney with a median price below $600,000 declined from 44% to 11%. In fact, at the end of 2016 you were 45% more likely to find a house in Sydney for over $2 million than you were for less than $600,000.

‘The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.’ (Chinese proverb)
If you could live today as though it was twenty years in the future and you could return for one day, what would you do? Would you spend your day procrastinating or would you act? I’d wager that much of what made you anxious would seem insignificant when viewed through the lens of hindsight. If you’re guilty of procrastination, you’re not alone; only around 8% of people achieve their New Year’s resolutions by the time that countdown starts again on 31 December.

Over the past few months there’s been a bit of a flurry of sales activity in my street, to the extent that I’m starting to think I may be the common denominator behind this mass exodus. Whatever the reason, these recent sales have provided evidence for the value of quality. Two homes: sold nine days apart, on 700 square metres, 150 metres away from each other and with a $239,500 difference in sales price.

No matter who you are, hard times are a given – you are always going to see some bumps along the road. Property investment isn’t any different. Whether the bumps come from globally driven factors or from the opinions of others, we hear all too often of emerging catastrophes in the current markets. Fresh investors and of course those who have been in the market for decades will all have experienced these alarming stories.
