LAND PRICES CAUSE SKY ROCKETING HOUSE PRICES
Here’s how the government can really help
From time to time government authorities offer land for sale. I assume that government pursues market price.
Many ideas have emerged as to providing lower cost housing for those in need.
The Queensland government is probably one of the largest owners of undeveloped land in the state.
Release of this land - strictly for housing – to developers at a fixed price on the condition that lots are 300m2, priced at an agreed price, no more than $200,000, could produce quality housing at around $450,000.
This could be a painless way that government shows that it does really care about helping to alleviate the shortage of affordable housing.
Over to you Minister

A HOME FOR MY FAMILY
DON’T BUY A LEMON
With the median price of decent 4 bedroom properties
at around $600,000, new home buyers will probably require a deposit of around $120,000.
Given the announcement from government regarding a maximum drawing of $50,000 from superannuation, new home buyers will be a long stretch from $120,000 unless lenders approve a deposit of 5%, which may lead to financial hardship.
Which leads us to lower priced properties such as;
Three bedrooms properties
Apartments
Townhouses
Dual living properties, share with another buyer
Whatever is bought needs to stand the lemon test
“Will this property grow in value to provide equity we can use at retirement?”
Wrong – poor location, noisy, high crime rate
Poor construction
Difficult to renovate with poor frontal appearance
Buyers must maintain the highest level of scrutiny as we do. Our quality test fills an A4 page.
WE CAN HELP YOU – NO CHARGE. CALL US ON 0404456428.

There is no wrong time to enter the market, true “investors” will not just chase market highs but seize opportunities for growth.
True investors do not invest based on today’s market conditions or value fluctuations to new highs, they invest for tomorrow, the day they retire and seek a ‘comfortable retirement’ provided by their ‘Plan for a Comfortable Retirement’.
As defined by the Federal Government – ‘A comfortable retirement’
A comfortable retirement allows retirees to maintain a good standard of living in their post work years. It accounts for daily essentials, such as groceries, transport and home repairs, as well as private health insurance, a range of exercise and leisure activities and the occasional restaurant meal, a new car and a trip overseas at regular intervals.
When he was Treasurer, Scott Morrison stated that Australians seeking a comfortable retirement would require a capital sum, excluding the family home, of at least $1,000,000. Which would provide $80,000 before tax based on a return of 8% per annum.
That was based upon the dollar buying power today, however a person retiring in 20 years’ time would find that depreciation at a rate of 3% had reduced buying power by 50% in 12 years. Unless he or she had planned and increased their target sum, they face drastically reduced buying power.
In discussions with a super fund manager, he estimated that based upon the current contributions, average super outcome is around $600.000 for men and $450,000 for women.
We suggest $1,000,000 is short of what is needed if you have more than 10 years before retirement. More like 2,000,000 of today’s dollars tomorrow.
This is a far cry from what is needed.
Based upon this information we prepared ‘A Plan for a Comfortable Retirement – using property to augment super and other investments.’
Why property?
Investor has total control – no third parties making poor investment decisions
Retirement planning requires conservative – minimum risk – planning with no speculative investment
Property has a record of conservative growth over 60 years past with minor fluctuations.
The current price surge can be blamed upon landowners. Builders’ prices are savagely affected by this sudden skyrocketing of land prices.
Most investors have fared well from these increases with value increases of $200.000 in some cases.
New investors will accept these increases and wait for around 5% capital growth per annum. This is the figure we do all of our growth calculations on. Conservative and minimum growth, where most of the properties we have recommended show an average growth of 8% per annum prior to the current surge.
Lenders prefer property over all other securities
Given low interest and high rents, investors can be cash positive, particularly after taxation allowances for depreciation and all expenses.
There have been little or no value dips in excess of 5% over 60 years. Check this against stock variations and huge losses.

QUEENSLAND’S ‘GOLDEN PROPERTY INVESTMENT DECADE’ TO COME
Colliers has foreshadowed a “golden decade” for Queensland property with the release of its new report, Queensland 2022 and Beyond, which looks at the economic factors that will impact the state’s housing market in the coming years.
The 2032 Olympic Games that will be held across Brisbane at South-East Queensland has, since its announcement, prompted expectations of a major infrastructure boost for the host locations that will ensure their desirability for years to come. Colliers says it will do all that and more.

Queensland has been targeted for its affordability and lifestyle,
and is the No.1 state for population growth through internal migration, by a big margin.

Residents of our biggest cities look at the price of homes similar to theirs in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Rockhampton, Hervey Bay, Bundaberg and the Whitsundays and do the sums in their heads.

They could sell their home in Melbourne or Sydney, move to Queensland, buy a home of similar standard at half the price or less, and have lots left over to provide an enviable lifestyle.

Demand for Queensland real estate from interstate buyers has never been higher, as more and more people seek out homes in areas that provide lifestyle at affordable prices.

PROPERTY PRICES TO DROP 8% SHORTLY OR
PROPERTY PRICE RISES TO REMAIN FOR 2 YEARS
Who cares? If I was selling shortly, I may be concerned, however my clients are using property to augment their superannuation and the only market to concern them is years away.
They are happy about the price rises and dips will concern them, but the big one is when they are ready to sell and pick up their net equity.

NOBODY BUYING PROPERTY AT THIS TIME IS HAPPY
Since I last emailed in June 2020, where I mentioned the coming shortage of good land which would result in a price surge. Congratulations to those who acted on this advice. You have benefitted well.
Don’t blame the builders – land vendors are benefitting mightily and Councils are authorising tiny lots, resulting in a surge of rate payers.
Apart from going with the current flow, I am finding it difficult to put our starter investors into house and land packages. Townhouses and apartments will be available at lower prices.
These price rises are also hurting our first home buyers.
The state governments must develop alternative revenue to stamp duty which is becoming a big rip off.
If you agree with these comments, please join me in collecting random ideas to convince councils to become champions of housing development rather than pariahs.

THE FIRST HOME OR THE FIFTH – YOU NEED AN ASSET WHICH WILL GROW IN VALUE
We strongly recommend Metricon, Australia’s largest and highly awarded builder, now offering a complete range of quality built, new homes in all of the locations we recommend for strong capital growth.
Owner/occupiers may qualify for benefits such as upgrades not available for investment properties.
You may have seen some of Metricon’s recent TV advertising for home owners.
After all, it is just as important for you to benefit from the capital growth of the home you live in as it is for investors’ properties.
Land developers and Metricon will not accept applications from investors posing as home owners.
If you or a family member are considering a new home, give us a call on 040445642 and we will give to you the same quality service we provide to investors.
Location is of importance and that is where our over 50 years of experience comes into play.

My post on surging Queensland property prices created a large number of comments , mostly endorsement, but several were making uninformed comment and a couple were just filth. I hope that Facebook is aware of the filthy language, some persistently.

IS THE HTW RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MARKETS CLOCK BROKEN?
I have been in property investment for more than 50 years and this is the first I have seen no areas on the down side!
I am a keen reader of the Herron Todd White (HTW) property reviews and this is the first time there have been no areas on the down side past the peak.
For example, there are 40 areas noted as rising markets, 9 approaching a peak, 5 at the peak and none after that.
The majority of my clients invest for retirement security, therefor the market they are most concerned about could be 20 or more years away.
To cater for distant markets, we agree a target of ‘among the best for type and age in a 5K area” supported by an agreed maintenance and replacement plan.
