One of the largest challenges that a property researcher faces is coming to terms with the fact that property itself is perhaps the most emotionally charged asset class, and the drivers of performance will vary depending on the market within which the particular property operates.

Given that Team Research (although exceptionally talented researchers) are not tax agents, this article must be taken as general opinion rather than advice. In light of this, if you believe that the content of this research article is relevant to your personal situation, you should combine the property knowledge of Blue Wealth Property with the tax advice available from your tax professional.

Consequently it can be regarded as still constantly evolving; never fully set in concrete.’

Residential is Australia’s favourite property asset class, and the biggest characteristic of this is perhaps that most people have a better understanding of it due to their own experiences renting, owning or building their own homes. Demand would always exist in some form because we know from our beloved humanistic psychologist Abraham Maslow that a basic need of the human condition is shelter.

For those in capital cities (particularly Sydney and Perth), pricing dictates to them that investing prior to buying in their desired suburb is typically essential in their wealth creation strategy.
