Today, Cate and Mike dive headfirst into the findings from the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) Sentiment Survey, taking the opportunity to unpack some pressing questions while Dave is away. A big thank you to all the investors who contributed to the survey—it’s their insights that shape episodes like this!

Why are more investors selling properties in major cities like Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney? Cate and Mike explore the rising compliance costs, government policies, and economic pressures that are prompting these decisions. They also examine how this trend is reshaping the rental market, leaving renters with fewer options in an already tight landscape.

Mike highlights a key survey finding: While investor sentiment has cooled, nearly 46% of respondents still believe it’s a good time to invest in property. He delves into why Australia’s long-term housing fundamentals—like leveraging, supply constraints, and resilient demand—continue to appeal to savvy investors.

Cate reflects on the contrasting approaches states are taking to housing reform, with Victoria’s “hammer of Thor” policies driving investors away, while WA’s incentive-driven approach encourages positive change. Together, they share insights into what reforms are stressing investors most and how policies can better support both tenants and landlords.

They also tackle the challenges of cash flow shortfalls caused by rising interest rates and costs. While some investors are forced to increase rents, others are reluctant, choosing to keep loyal tenants even if it impacts their bottom line.

..... and our gold nuggets!

Mike Mortlock’s gold nugget: “Participating in surveys like PIPA’s isn’t just about sharing your story; it’s a chance to influence policy and create real change for investors.”

Cate Bakos’s gold nugget: “This ecosystem thrives when both tenants and landlords feel supported—let’s aim for balance, not division.”
