Is it, property AND shares? Property OR shares? Or ALL property and NO shares?

Marc Jocum of Global X ETFs Australia joins Owen Rask in this Australian Investors Podcast episode to explain 7 reasons why property investing in Australia could be better than shares and ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds).

But wait, there's more!

This Property Versus Shares episode is part 3/3 and follows a super-popular episode.

7 Reasons to invest in property

1. Leverage, unlike any other

2. Familiarity, leading to less bias

3. Tax benefits, negative gearing anyone?

4. Supply & demand imbalances = more scarcity with assets

5. Inflation hedge, as build costs and rents adjust to inflation

6. Optionality, within the property and across your wealth

7. Government support, get the conspiracy pitchforks ready!

Topics covered today:

1 – Turn yourself into a property pro

• Went to a live event, Modern Wisdom with Chris Williamson. While it mostly targets creatives and artists, some of the messaging hit home.
• Property investment is a business, in effect, and you should aim to treat it accordingly.
• Different personality types.
• But, should still take a professional approach to mapping out your investment strategy for the decade ahead at least.
• What does this mean in practice: A 10-year property plan with balance sheet and P&L 
• Some of my most successful clients over the past decade have included those who take massive action, and those who are really across their strategy and the cashflows etc.

2 – Book and call with a broker or lending professional

• Property is a game of finance with houses in the middle.
• We’ve been through a very unusual period for lending.
• Interest rates fell to unprecedented lows and have now rebounded to contractionary settings.
• Many borrowers are paying more than they need to as banks aim to claw back returns.
• Lending assessment buffers are tight but this doesn’t always apply to refinancing.
• Think a decade ahead and get buffers/offsets in place.
• Need to have a strategy which makes you unbreakable.

3 – Think in decade chunks

• Media commentary is now daily, focus is on clicks. 
• But a full property cycle might take 7 to 10 years to play through.
• What happens over the course of a week probably has very little bearing on the prospects for a property investment over a decade time horizon.
• Our key investing years might be, for most people, between the ages of 25 and 65, so about 3 or decades. 
• Could be 4 to 6 full property cycles, if not more if you invest in different cities, states, or countries. 
• If you aim to invest for 20, 30, 40 years or longer, then there will be summer and winter seasons. High and low interest inflation, high and low interest rates, undersupply and overbuilding, high and low vacancy rates. 
• So you need to think about long-term fundamentals. 

4 – Wrap

It’s an interesting time for property investment. In 2025 we will have high population growth, a chronic housing shortage and falling interest rates. All good fundamentals for property. Yet, as with every decade, there will be those who succeed and those who fail to progress as they hoped. The best way to ensure you’re in the former group and not the latter is by taking a more professional approach to your investing to managing risk, and take a sensible approach for the decade ahead, with the appropriate buffers in place.

In this episode Pete and Chris discussed their 2024 highlights

Some of the major trends we observed in the Aussie property market in 2024 included: Perth and Adelaide have boomed, and Brisbane listings were so low all year.

How did interest rate movements impact the market throughout the year? Not as much as we thought. It was a complex web of trends, overall, and not as simple as people thought at the beginning of the year.

1. What Pete and Chris learned in 2024, and some challenges faced by the property market

A key lesson for us – don’t get too stuck on Level 1 thinking. It’s a complicated market sometimes

The most significant challenges the property market faced last year: Construction costs were very high, and developer insolvencies hit 3,000. Housing supply struggled all year.

2. 2025 outlook and insights from Pete and Chris

Looking forward to 2025, our main predictions for the Australian property market: Slower price growth, but solid performance, overall.

Melbourne is set to rebound due to relative affordability versus other capital cities.

How we see the interest rate environment evolving, and how this will impact the market: Interest rates to fall to around 3.5%, APRA change to ease lending assessment buffers, and more bank competition for customers. This should boost buyer activity into an undersupplied market.

Particular areas or regions in Australia that might offer the best investment opportunities in 2025: Melbourne, Newcastle, Brisbane, Central Coast, and Sunshine Coast.

Key trends to shape 2025: Election year could see some changes to population policy, and property market policy. Superannuation for housing (Coalition) and Build to Rent (Labor). Slower population growth overall, as visa issuance for international students slows down.

3. Our advice for homebuyers and investors in 2025

Risks we believe homebuyers and investors should be cautious of in 2025: Construction and off the plan risks. Keep a buffer in case interest rates don’t fall.

4. Closing reflections from Pete and Chris

Summing up in 2024: Resilience! An interesting year of lessons. Intergenerational wealth and a struggle for developers. A complex market.

Other advice for listeners as they plan their property investment strategies for the coming year:

Get a property plan done!

Pete Wargent shares insights on the importance of adaptability in changing market conditions, emphasising the value of being "approximately right" over time rather than aiming for perfection. Pete also discusses the diversity of personality types in property investing, and how personal investment strategies evolve—from early confidence to a more cautious, defensive approach as experience grows.

Key Takeaways:

• How to effectively use Buyer’s Agents in property investing.
• The importance of adapting to changing property market conditions.
• Why aiming to be "approximately right" leads to long-term success.
