South East Queensland – your property Investment Opportunity

• By the year 2041, the population of SEQ is expected to grow to 5.3 million residents.
• In 2001, the population was 2.4m and since has grown to 3.6m = 12 million.
• Another 17 million new residents are expected to call SEQ home.
• This equates to around 708,400 new dwellings over the next 17 years.
• Or an astounding almost 42,000 new dwellings per annum.
• Even if it were only 30,000 new dwellings per year, this task is a massive ask!!
• There is a need for around 192,000 attached housing
• There is a need for around 57,000 detached housing

Market issues that will impede supply include :

• Land availability and Land Release by local government and councils
• Insufficient staff in government and council to approve land release
• Insufficient staff in councils to approve build contracts, that is a staggering 3.500 per month
  • Current trend is only 15,000 monthly approvals across Australia
  • Year 2024 dropped to 13,000 across Australia
• Low supply of Trades People to employ to build the dwellings
• Government Infrastructure Projects attracting Trades who are chasing higher wages and more comfortable employment contracts, limiting supply of these same trades to the local building industry
• High Interest rates impacting Developers who do want to build both Units and or Develop Land, delaying delivery of projects to want to be buyers. Banks simply do not lend as freely as they did. Private lending makes borrowing that much more expensive for developers
• Delays by Developers increase their holding costs of the Land they own, these costs are then passed onto buyers like you. Meaning any delay is inflationary
• High interest rates mean borrowers like yourself will incur high Holding Costs, whilst your project is being built impacting your own cash flow and affordability to build
• High interest rates mean borrowers like yourself can only borrow less than when interest rates were lower
• Federal Treasury forecast in the budget that dwelling investment is expected to remain flat across 2024-25 financial year
• An ageing population and Australians having fewer children, the changing demographics of households, will continue to put upward pressure on demand for housing
• Australia enjoyed a net overseas migration adding 548,000 people to the population in the year to September, underscoring the need for more dwellings. Why has this same government failed to include tradespeople in the list of skilled migrants, failing to align policy with industry needs? Where is the streamlining pathway for skilled workers essential to the construction industry?

Your Investment Opportunity

Both Government + Industry investment into locations undergoing population growth creates new jobs. New jobs attract more residents needed to fill these jobs. New residents place pressure on supply of homes. A wonderful perfect storm for investors seeking Capital Growth plus healthy Rental Yields.

Demand for dwellings by Owners and Renters will continue to grow on the back of Immigration and Population Shifts into Queensland due to lifestyle and affordability will continue to place upward pressure on supply.

Less homes on the market for buyers equates to low supply of homes for those who cannot buy and need to rent.

• Low supply for owners + high demand = increase in property values
• Low supply for renters + high demand = increase in rental yields

• Other factors include : population growth, places upward pressure on supply of housing for owners and renters, results in a growth in the construction industry creating new jobs.
