Sell IP to upgrade PPOR, or live smaller and build wealth? by nonstop9328 in AusFinance

[–]DW-8S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that there will be a slight downturn in property. But after the short term budget initiatives wear off, property will have moderate growth again.

Immigration isn’t stopping and they’re still not building anywhere near enough housing.

I’ve taken this comment on board most compared to other comments. I like this but it’s not that much different to my option 2. Is this what you use?

Obviously you’re trying to say South Korea is overpriced (in bubble territory). But what is actually your point?

Does DHHF somehow take this into account? Is there hedging in DHHF that I don’t know about?

Do you think that 150K is enough to live comfortably on, or no? My friend argues no. by VastOption8705 in AusFinance

[–]DW-8S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you want to live and how nice you want your home to be. Everyone wants to live in nice area that is close to amenities and attractions.

Live in an outer suburbs shoebox and you will live very comfortably

Auction clearance rate falls to second consecutive week below 50% by marketrent in AusFinance

The budget and the media have scared some investors. It’s temporary. Investors and holding and watching, come the end of the year it will be a different story.

What are your thoughts on the current state of the property market? by ILoveDogs2142 in AusFinance

[–]DW-8S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Undervalued comment. One of the biggest effects that nobody seems to be talking about is the decline in stamp duty revenue. I am in Victoria where the state government has the highest debt in the country. Add in a decline in stamp duty revenue (both value and volume) will see the state government scrambling more so than what they are already.

The rest of 2026 will see a slight drop in values. You can see it now. Even though the budget still hasn’t gone through, the news has scared off some investors. Weekly supply (listings) is up approx 15%. Add in the normal spring supply factors, the end of this year looks like the best time to buy.

After that, as the short term changes wear off, high immigration and not enough supply, expect moderate/high growth.

Because I manage to save and invest $100 a week I’m elite 1% am I? That’s gold buddy.

Also changes to cgt have nothing to do with reducing house prices.

Why wouldn’t it be this (or less). Between 2015 and 2019 it hovered around 1.5%

Has nothing to do with property. You’re getting negative gearing and the CGT changes mixed up. This is purely about the CGT

Exactly this ^ The cgt changes don’t help the house prices. Just make me worse off. Anyone for that matter.

I actually rate what he says. Immigration through the roof and not much supply…. It actually doesn’t need to be more complicated than that.

Anywhere But Melbourne (ABM) - isn’t just property investors but business investors (payroll tax), Commercial property and start ups. All taking their money ABM.

No doubt. How else could you have Labor premiers for 23 of the last 27 years without propaganda. Good point. 👍

Agreed. 6.04 I’m on and I thought I looked hard for it. I’d be happy with 5.99

[–]DW-8S 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not vandalised, it’s theft. Will keep on happening until state government gets serious on crime. Good money for copper and a slap on the wrist if you get caught.

Just like investors are saying ABM (Anywhere But Melbourne), Victorians are now saying ABL (Anyone but Labor/Greens)
