PROPERTY DRIVES ECONOMY, BUT WHO DRIVES PROPERTY? First National Real Estate Nerang Principal Mike Gray believes property representatives should have a greater say in the future of the property market, and ultimately Australia.

“Property is a key driver of Australia’s economy, being the 12th largest in the world today. It seems crazy to me that, given its significance, representatives from the industry are being left out of determining what is best for the industry, and by association, this country,” Mr Gray said.

“Real estate and property business owners are in it for the long haul, whereas governments and bureaucrats are only it for as long as they are voted in.

“We are not swayed by whether or not it will be popular with voters, but what is best for the industry long term, to make it sustainable and continue to prop up Australia’s economy so we can weather some of the storms we have seen over recent times.”

According to the latest statistics available through the Australian Bureau of Statistics and IBIS

World, real property, including land and buildings, account for 63.9 per cent of Australia’s $10 trillion asset base.

“Industrial and commercial property alone is responsible for 16.2 per cent of this country’s national resources, dwellings for 17.3 per cent, housing and other land for 30.4 per cent,” Mike Gray said.

“Surely this is a big enough piece of the pie to give property market representatives a bigger voice in saying how to carve it up and maximise its value.”

According to Mike Gray, it is the people inside the industry who have the greatest interest in its long term, sustainable growth and value, citing the debacle of the planning process as evidence of how governments can get it so wrong.

“The length of time it takes to go through the planning process actually devalues a property and acts as a disincentive for developers,” He said.

“In the end, planning strips value out of a property because of how long it takes and is holding this country back – and that doesn’t even take into account the complexities associated with the actual planning rules and regulations.”

Mr Gray said even when you consider how much real property dominates Australian households’ assets and debts, it is still evident that property is a key determinant in Australia’s economic future.

“Real property accounts for 62.5 per cent of total Australian household debt and is expected to do so for some time to come,” Mr Gray said.

“So it makes sense that property experts, and not government bureaucrats, set the direction for property into the future – who knows, perhaps we should even run the country – I mean,Victoria already has a real estate person as Premier.”

PUT A FREEZE ON COSTS TO KEEP WARM There is a lot homeowners can do to keep power bills down when they usually increase as the weather turns chilly.

“Just a few simple changes to your home and your habits can make sure you and your family stay warm and cosy without costing the earth,” First National Real Estate Nerang Principal, Mike Gray said.

“In winter, the typical Australian household consumes approximately 2700 kWh of energy, which is around 7% more than in the warmer months.

“Energy conservation is a vital environmental issue which is one of the reasons power costs are going to escalate, and it is better to tackle the necessary changes to lifestyles now than when it is too late.

“For every one degree temperature increase in winter, energy use increases by 15%, so it is wise to warm up to the idea of becoming more energy efficient in the home.”

should remain diligent and follow a few additional guidelines.

Turn down - Consider turning down heaters by one or two degrees – homes should be maintained at temperatures between 18 and 21 degrees.

Every degree lower can decrease heating costs by up to 10%. When heaters are on, close curtains and blinds to reduce heat escaping and retain it inside. Putting on warmer clothing, like sweaters, can also lessen the reliance on heaters as the main source for warmth.

Turn off - Lighting potentially makes up around 10% of household energy usage. Avoid leaving unnecessary lights on and switch them off when no one is in the room. Outdoor lights should use motion sensors wherever possible. Compact fluorescent lamps use 80% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last around 10 times longer.

Appliances, such as computers and televisions, should be turned off at the wall, if possible.

Standby power can account for up to 10% of total power bills.

Seal up - Inspect for air leaks, commonly found in places like door and window frames, ducts, electrical outlets and recessed lights. Air leaks raise energy bills by allowing heat to escape outside. Install draught seals and weather stripping around doors

and windows and repair faulty seals – these simple measures will minimise heat loss through gaps and leaks around the home.

Insulate - Insulation helps retain heat during winter. Ceilings, walls and floors are all areas that benefit from insulation.

Upgrading all areas of the home to recommended insulation levels can potentially save 5% to 25% on heating and cooling costs.

Be efficient - Look at using or installing energy efficient appliances wherever possible.

Use major appliances, such as washing machines, dishwashers or dryers at night and other low energy use times of the day, and avoid using them between 4pm and 9pm – this is the optimal time to power down.

Mike said cutting back unnecessary energy use is a simple and easy way to keep hard-earned money in the pocket as well as reduce the pressure on the environment.

“It’s a win-win situation all round, so everyone should be taking these simple steps to conserve energy, reduce waste and make a better carbon-footprint.”

Subdued property activity natural: REIA House prices appear to be falling around the country, but the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) says the latest figures are nothing to worry about. President David Airey says the REIA is yet to release its review of Australian house prices, but decreases in most states are a normal part of the cycle.

“It’s important to understand that house prices, whilst increasing over time, have periods when price growth either subsides or decreases,” he says.

“However, over time the fundamentals are there for continued growth.

The drivers for this growth will come from lack of supply, population growth and changes in the household formation rate.”

The Reserve Bank Minutes of the Monetary Policy Meeting also comments on a slight but not worrying change in prices.

“Conditions in the housing market remained subdued, with housing prices down slightly over the first two months of the year and auction

Airey says the current lower activity levels have to be seen in the context of the increased buyer levels during 2009 and the earlier part of 2010.

Lower interest rates also stimulated interest in homebuyers.

REIA says the temporary slowdown in housing price growth can be attributed to a number of reasons, including: • A more conservative outlook by homebuyers, reflecting concerns about economic growth in the two-speed economy.

• Increased savings reflecting an aversion to debt in the current economic circumstances.

• Affordability reaching a record low.

• Seven interest rates increases.

• A retraction of first homebuyers from the market – the group which provides the catalyst for other buyers to trade up

REIA URGES GOVERNMENT TO BOOST FIRST HOME BUYERS Increased first home buyer activity could drive down the cost of housing, according to the Real Estate Industry of Australia (REIA).

Late last week, the REIA put forward a pre-budget submission to the federal government, outlining a range of issues affecting housing affordability that need to be considered in the 2011/12 budget.

As part of its submission, the REIA urged the federal government to increase the First Home Owner’s Grant, as the soaring cost of housing far outweighs the $7,000 incentive.

clearance rates a little below average,” it says.

REIA president David Airey said the main focus of the pre-budget submission is to lower the country’s housing affordability crisis by

encouraging the return of strong first home buyer activity.

“An increase of the FHOG is crucial to improving affordability in the housing market and encouraging the return of first home buyers to the market,” Mr Airey said.

“These issues addressed in REIA’s submission are of great importance to the operation of the property market and we expect the government to consider these proposals carefully.”

When the FHOG was introduced in July 2000 the median house price was $220,443. Today, the median house price is $545,873, Mr Airey said.

Property investment not for the faint hearted You have to be tough, not to mention very careful, to make a fist of things in the property market.

There’s a double-edged question of grit here: do you have the determination to hold on to your property through the tough times?

And, equally, do you have the courage to make the decision not to proceed when it is imprudent?

According to a range of experts, house prices in Sydney were ‘’taking a breather’’ and ‘’softening’’ but it remained a ‘’sellers’ market’’.

Forecasts for capital growth in the year ahead for that city were variously 0.2%, ‘’low to middle single digit’’, more than 5%, or as high

as 10%.

It all goes to show that property investing lies somewhere between art and science.

One of the trends is a renewed confidence from lenders following the passing of the worst of the global financial crisis.

‘’What I am seeing is that lenders who had reduced their LVR [loan to value ratio] from 100% to 90% maximum during the GFC have now returned to 95% LVR,’’ Breen says.

What does it mean when, as now, fixed interest rates come near variable rates? Is this a sign that variable rates have peaked or that financial institutions are competing hard for market share? ‘’A bit of both,’’ the executive chairman and founder of Aussie, John Symond, says. ‘’Generally, it signals that variable rates are close to the top of their cycle. At the moment the combined perception is that interest rates will stay around where they are.’’

This is good for property investors.

The market is cooling and prices are coming off, good loans are available, good fixed rates are on offer, the banks are in real competition and there are fewer first-home buyers

in competition with investors. There has been a lining up of the ducks for investors. ‘’There has been a knock to consumer confidence brought about by seven interest rate rises [since October 2009], the bushfires, floods, cyclones and other natural disasters,’’ Symond says. ‘’People are saving their money, too.

Rents have been increasing - another positive sign for investors - although the rate of change seems to be slowing.

Vacancy rates also tell a useful story.

A vacancy rate of 3% is generally considered to represent a fair balance in the marketplace, whereby supply is approximately matched to demand for rental accommodation.

Less than 3% means supply is short and tenants will find it challenging to land a property, while above that level it starts to become a renters’ market.

For some time now, the balance has favoured landlords, with vacancy rates well below 2 per cent in many areas.

Manage your risk

Even with many positive signs out there, it is wise to take action to minimise your risk exposure and secure your gains.

1. Are you insured?

You may be familiar with insuring your house but a rented property requires more. Insurers package a range of covers together under ‘’landlords’ insurance’’ which includes cover for: •

• •

•

The building (unless this is the responsibility of an owners corporation or body corporate).

Public liability.

The contents - including floor coverings, kitchen cupboards, light fittings, blinds and so on.

Loss of rent - where, for example, a fire renders the property unliveable and rent ceases.

• Malicious damage.

• Rent default 2. Engage a managing agent Deputise an agent to manage the tenancy; they will be the buffer between owner and tenant, taking emotional heat out of negotiations over rent, dwelling modifications, subletting and more.

You can expect your agent to charge between 5.5 per cent and 8.8 per cent of the rent as a commission. In addition, it is common to take the first week’s rent as remuneration for finding a tenant.

3. Consider fixing In budgeting for property investment, it is important to factor a period each year where there is no rent.You might be between tenancies or have a defaulting tenant.

It takes fortitude to tough out these periods. Having a fixed-rate loan is really another form of insurance. It gives you the security of knowing precisely how much you have to pay your lender each month. Of course, it can be expensive to end a fixed-rate deal early - paying ‘’break costs’’ to the lender, which can add up to many thousands of dollars.
