The PROPERTY DOCTORS, Sydney Australia Novak Properties

78 negative legislative changes towards landlords in one career.

More rental properties = more supply = rents stabilise. It’s basic maths.

Right now? Record low rental stock. Tenants struggling. Landlords exiting.

If we want rents to ease, we need incentives — not more pressure.

This is a sensitive topic, but it’s one we need to talk about.

Build costs are skyrocketing. Tight labour market. Materials up. Developers squeezed from every angle.

But here’s the silver lining 👇

If you can’t replicate a property at today’s construction prices, that sets a floor under property values.

We’re not talking land. Not profit.
Just build costs — around $700k+ before land.

To replace a 1–3 bedroom apartment today? You’re looking at $1.2m–$1.3m.

If you already own property… you’re holding a serious asset.

Property isn’t just something you want.
It’s something you need.

One agent… or two? 🤔

Co-agency can work — but only when there’s:
✔️ Total transparency
✔️ Clear control of marketing
✔️ Strong communication
✔️ Trust

Without that? It can get messy. Mixed messages. Confused buyers. Blurred accountability.

At the end of the day, the real question is:

If you were selling your property…
Would you want two agents?
Or one exceptional agent who fully backs themselves?

It’s always about acting in the vendor’s best interest.

Interest rates. Rising costs. Government changes. It’s been tough.

But here’s the truth 👇

🏡 Long term? Property still wins for many.
📈 Stocks may outperform at times — but nothing replaces having a place to call home.
💡 If you’re renting and want to buy: start small. Don’t be picky. Grow from 1 bed ➡️ 2 bed ➡️ 3 bed.

Everything’s gone up — groceries, bills, life in general. Housing is the big one.

If you need guidance navigating it all, we’re here to help.

Buying commercial off the plan? ⚠️

Not all plans are equal.

✔️ Marketing plans ≠ stamped council-approved plans
✔️ Ceiling heights can vary lot to lot
✔️ Layouts & positioning can change
✔️ Fire safety & compliance updates can impact design

The key? Do your due diligence.
Review the approved construction plans — not just the brochure.

Yes, buy off the plan… but be proactive. It can significantly increase value and tenant appeal.
