PIPA, which represents property investors, says Labor's taxation policies are flawed and based on assumptions that are "dangerously misleading". It says serious research modeling is needed to determine whether the proposed changes will achieve the outcomes claimed by the ALP. Incomes have risen and loan repayments have fallen, creating the best affordability situation in Australia in three years, according to the latest quarterly index published by Adelaide Bank and the REIA. Media loves to portray housing as beyond the reach of young buyers, but all the available evidence suggests home ownership is attainable - and indeed, in some respects, easier than it was for previous generations. There are big differences in rental performance among the eight capital cities. Canberra, Hobart and Sydney have provided the best growth, according to SQM Research data. The affordabiity debate has been misdirected, with the finger of blame pointed in the wrong direction, says leading consultancy Performance Property Advisory. Leading property educator Trent Giumelli says many factors play a part in property investment success, but the No.1 element is quality research. The first official interest rate cut in 12 months has come on the same day as a Federal Budget which cuts tax for small businesses and confirms that negative gearing rules will not change. Domain says house prices have fallen in most capital cities. But CoreLogic says they're rising. It's another example of research sources creating confusion and misinformation - and media failing to do its job. Developers continue to claim a "chronic undersupply" of dwellings and harass governments for changes to approval processes. But the reality is that Australia has produced record numbers of new dwellings recently and some key markets face the problem of oversupply. The number of homes for sale has fallen in Melbourne and Hobart, thanks to strong sales activity. But listings have risen in Sydney and Darwin, as market activity declines in those cities.

Testimonial
"Just wanted to say thank you! I have umm-ed and aah-ed about buying your reports for the past few months. I finally bought 4 of them and can’t believe I waited so long. The information is invaluable and for me narrowed down my elusive search for properties that suit my goal, to the point where I was able to find one today and have made an offer – after 12 months of looking! Thanks again, I will sing your praises to whoever will listen."
L. Lewis, Stuart Park, NT
