With Australia’s economy easing, what does this mean for property investors?
Recent data shows inflation cooling to ~2.1% and a modest 0.6% growth in GDP for the June quarter. Lower inflation plus interest rate cuts are helping reduce borrowing costs.
For those wanting to buy investment properties, here’s what to watch:
- Lower rates can boost mortgage affordability, making investment purchases more accessible.
- But supply remains tight, which may push prices up and reduce bargain opportunities.
- Rental demand is still strong, keeping yields competitive in many markets.
- Be mindful of economic risks. Consumer sentiment is cautious, and long-term returns depend on timing, location, and finance terms.
