Perfect Timing: See the 12 locations ideal for downsizing

October 12th, 2023

For Immediate Release

Property Credit unveils a compelling report spotlighting 12 picturesque locations across Australia, now emerging as buyers' markets, and particularly enticing for down-sizers. This report meticulously navigates through the current real estate landscape, presenting a curated list of regions that not only promise a serene lifestyle but also a prudent financial step towards a plush retirement.

Giordano Stepancic, CEO of Property Credit, elucidated, "Down-sizing is not merely about moving to a smaller home; it's a significant strategy to bolster superannuation, preparing for a luxurious retirement. Especially when done in well-selected lifestyle locations, the financial prudence intertwined with the promise of a serene lifestyle is a proposition too attractive to overlook."

The past 24 months have seen a whirlwind of change in many markets, with listings volumes once plummeting to as low as 15% of current figures and inventory levels hitting record lows. This scenario posed a challenge, making selection limited and propelling prices much higher than anticipated. However, the tide has turned, revealing markets now brimming with choice and softer price tags.

Mr. Stepancic remarked, "The real estate landscape has undergone a dynamic shift over the last 24 months. What was once a sellers' market with limited choice and escalating prices, has gracefully evolved into a domain ripe with opportunities for discerning buyers."

The current market conditions in these idyllic locations have become significantly favourable for astute buyers and down-sizers. The blend of beauty, value, and the softened market conditions are concocting a perfect scenario for those eyeing a tranquil yet smart property transition.

He further added, "This newfound market softness is a boon for astute buyers and down-sizers. Those who appreciate the intrinsic value and beauty of these locations are now in a vantage point to seize a piece of serenity, whilst making a sagacious financial move."

This meticulous report is now accessible on Property Credit's platform, poised to be an invaluable resource for down-sizers contemplating a tranquil yet financially wise property venture amidst the current market softness.

Frontline services stretched to breaking point as housing crisis deepens

Frontline organisations responding to Australia’s housing crisis are operating at breaking point, reporting sustained increases in demand, escalating complexity, and diminishing capacity to help, according to Everybody’s Home. The national housing campaign’s ‘No Way Out’ sector survey of dozens of frontline organisations found nine in ten (89%) reported increased workloads over the past year, while almost all (98%) expect demand for their services to rise further in 2026. More than four in five (82%) organisations reported the housing crisis is either significantly affecting their daily operations or severely threatening the effectiveness of their programs. The crisis is increasingly affecting the…

Everybody’s Home encouraged by reports of changes to CGT discount

Everybody’s Home is pleased to see reports that the Albanese Government is considering winding back the capital gains tax discount for property investors. Media reports today suggest the government is considering scaling back the 50 per cent CGT deduction as it prepares for a "significant reform" budget in May. The national housing campaign has consistently been calling on the government to abolish the CGT discount and negative gearing - property investor tax breaks that cost taxpayers billions of dollars annually and make the housing crisis worse. “Tax breaks for property investors are making the housing crisis worse and everyday Australians…

Melbourne looks cheap again, but the old investment playbook won’t work

Following the Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest decision, Melbourne is once again being described as “cheap” relative to other capitals. Higher holding costs, tighter compliance settings, and increased policy risk are reshaping what a viable residential investment looks like in 2026. “Melbourne hasn’t become ‘cheap’ in a vacuum,” saidBeau Arfi, CEO of Maple Investment Group. “We’re seeing investors move away from passive buy-and-hold strategies and toward structures that prioritise cash flow resilience and execution certainty.” “The cost base has shifted, regulation has tightened, and that means investors need to be far more deliberate about how deals stack up over time.”…
