INFOLIO INSIGHT | How can I get access to off-market properties? Real estate agents often engage with hundreds of would-be buyers daily, and you have to make a big impression to get on top of their calling list. Professional relationships aren’t built in a day, which is why it’s beneficial to go through a buyer’s advocate. We’ve been working on our relationships with real estate agents for over 20 years. Real estate agents also know that advocates work with serious clients who are hot buyers, so they are often the first people who get called to view and buy off-market properties.

INFOLIO INSIGHT | Purchasing Off-Market in blue-chip areas. It's not uncommon for high-end properties in blue-chip suburbs to be sold off-market, and we’ve noticed a spike in off-market sales in areas such as Brighton, South Yarra, Toorak, Armadale and Albert Park. Navigating this market as a buyer can be confusing and very time-consuming.

We have seen a surge of new enquiry. We only deal in low volume so if you’re thinking of buying and don’t want to wait too long you should book a meeting. Be prepared and ask good questions, we need to feel as much alignment as you do to feel working together will be the right thing for all involved. #infoliopropertyadvisors #infolioproperty #buyersagentmelbourne #buyersadvocatemelbourne #melbourneproperty #propertymelbourne #buyersagent #buyersadvocate #vendorsadvocate #realestate

INFOLIO INSIGHT | Will build-to-rent continue to grow in 2024? There is demand for 15,000 and 18,000 new apartments to be delivered annually in Melbourne. There is a significant supply deficit, with Melbourne only delivering approximately 10,000 new apartments in 2024. This deficit in supply will lead to upward pressure on rents in the short and medium term. While build-to-rent developments should help gradually add to the rental supply, we aren’t likely to see a material increase until at least 2025. In the long term, in Melbourne, there are currently 5,500 build-to-rent apartments under construction and another 17,500 in longer-term planning. @thehobsonspotswood is one of Melbourne’s newest premiere build-to-rent developments leasing now.

MARKET UPDATE | We are expecting a surge in property prices the second half of this year. 2023 saw roughly 8% national increases and with the shortage of quality homes and projected rate decreases, it could not be a better time to upgrade or invest. There is nothing surer than it will cost you more to wait. #infoliopropertyadvisors #infolioproperty #buyersadvocates #buyersagents #melbourneproperty #propertyaustralia #melbourneagents #melbournerealestate #homerenos #homerenovation #sellinghouses #propertymanagement #bestofmelbourne

MARKET UPDATE | A property boom is coming, are you ready? If you're waiting for the bottom of the market, you've already missed it. While we typically avoid recommending specific ‘buy now’ timings to avoid any appearance of bias, with 25 years in the property industry and experience with various market cycles, I feel it's important to convey to our loyal clients that the current scenario is one of those exceptional moments. I cannot overlook the evident pent-up demand and the solid property fundamentals that indicate we're on the verge of a boom. Investing $6 million in the right house in the right area today could yield a value surpassing $7 million in the next 12-18 months. Delaying by a year might mean paying an additional $1 million or getting less for the same investment. The maths is simple. Read the full article via the link in our bio.

INFOLIO INSIGHT | Will interest rates go down in 2024? Of the big four banks, only NAB thinks we have yet to hit the peak interest rate of the big four banks. The others expect rates to plateau for most of 2024, with some predicting we will see a modest decrease towards the end of the year. CBA: Peak of 4.35% in November 2023, then dropping to 2.85% by May 2025 Westpac: Peak of 4.35% in November 2023, then dropping to 2.85% by December 2025 NAB: Peak of 4.60% by February 2024, then dropping to 3.10% by Feb 2026 ANZ: Peak of 4.35% in November 2023, then dropping to 3.35% by June 2025 However, only time will tell if borrowers will see some relief to their mortgage repayments next year.

INFOLIO INSIGHT | Will house prices come down? Following modest growth in 2023 (Melbourne is up approximately 4.7%), we expect house prices will continue to increase in 2024 by about 3-4% in Melbourne (that’s a $90,000 to $120,000 increase on a $3 million property). With increasing migration and a lack of available family homes ready to move in, there will continue to be a supply and demand imbalance. Turnkey homes in blue-chip areas are expected to perform the best. Melbourne will likely see a slight dip during January before growing again as we enter the autumn market. #infoliopropertyadvisors #infolioproperty #buyersadvocates #buyersagents #melbourneproperty #propertyaustralia #melbourneagents #melbournerealestate #homerenos #homerenovation #sellinghouses #propertymanagement #bestofmelbourne

INFOLIO INSIGHT | How might changes in government policies impact the Victorian rental market in 2024? [Nicole] There are two government policies that we will be watching closely in 2024 that might influence the rental market. The first is housing affordability initiatives. Any policies aimed at improving housing affordability, such as tax incentives, subsidies or grants for developers for affordable housing, may encourage the construction of more rental properties with a lower than comparable rental market price point, positively impacting renters seeking more affordable rental housing. The second is regulations on short-term rentals. If the government introduced stricter rules on short-term rentals, it might encourage property owners to shift towards traditional, long-term rentals and increase the supply of long-term rental properties. #infoliopropertyadvisors #infolioproperty #buyersadvocates #buyersagents #melbourneproperty #propertyaustralia #melbourneagents #melbournerealestate #homerenos #homerenovation #sellinghouses #propertymanagement #bestofmelbourne
