A recent article by PropTrack reveals that 28% of properties sold in NSW for the month of July were rental properties. This number has risen from 22% in July 2021 and 15% in July 2019. There are several contributing factors with the key drivers being, rising interest rates, rising property prices and increased government intervention prioritising tenants.
While it might feel counterintuitive to buy when there are so many mixed messages out there, remember the rental crisis is only worsening further, with no end in sight. The Australian population is expected to reach 40.5 million people by the year 2060. Keeping in mind that property is a long-term investment, now could be a great time to buy an investment property and enjoy high demand while trying to be a part of the rental crisis solution.
