A key buyer group has been making a noticeable comeback.
AI summary
'Mum and Dad' investors are making a comeback, with their share of property purchases rising from 21% to a more normal 25%. This nationwide trend is led by smaller investors buying a second property or expanding a small portfolio.
These buyers are finding value in the soft market, often favouring new-builds which are exempt from LVR and DTI rules. Key drivers for their return include:
- The full reinstatement of Mortgage Interest Deductibility
- Lower interest rates reducing cashflow top-up needs
This trend is expected to continue.
