Australian Investment Expert, Matthew Mousa of TLK Partners Kingsgrove Sydney NSW, Weighs in on the Property Market Future
Leading New South Wales Investment specialist, Matthew Mousa of TLK Partners Chartered Accountants, shares his outlook on the future of the Australian property market as an investment vehicle.
(firmenpresse) - Investment Expert Weighs in on Property Market Future
The residential property market in Australia has been confusing lately. Investors and investment analysts all seem to have their theories about its future as property values, long known to be inflated to the degree where fears of a bubble seemed justified, have begun to tumble. Investment specialist Matthew Mousa of TLK Partners shares his outlook on the future of the property market as an investment vehicle.
A Conservative View
Analysts have foretold several possible scenarios for the future of property in Australia. Mousa advises caution in taking any of them as certain outcomes. Nobody can foretell the future. We can and should look at possible scenarios, but in reality, the most extreme predictions, either positive or negative, rarely materialise.
Just how troubled we are by fears of a property market collapse would depend on our exposure in that asset class and the investment outcomes were pursuing. If your only investment is your property, then theoretically, you could face a big dent in your net worth. But if that property is your primary residence, its investment value is secondary to its practical value. You arent planning to sell it anyway.
In markets, theres constant movement around a point of equilibrium. Mousa explains that if we look at short-term value losses, we could be alarmed, but they will invariably overcorrect before moving back towards equilibrium. Property values, once inflated, will dip below their true value before making a recovery.
International Market Uncertainty
At TLK Partners, Mousa and his team work to balance portfolios, spreading investments across different assets, including property, to reduce risk. We have to ask ourselves how to replace property as an element in investment portfolios. We havent done so. Weve just restructured the type of property exposure our clients have.
He points out that the international investment environment is volatile at the moment. I dont think we should be expecting strong growth in any sector right now, says Mousa. Our aim is to ride out a turbulent time. Younger investors can just wait it out. Markets will recover. Structuring portfolios for investors who need to realise regular income is a little more complicated.
Property Investment Now and in The Next Few Years
TLK Partners has been quick to spot and take advantage of a property market anomaly. The [residential property market could keep sinking by as much as 20 percent](https://www.smh.com.au/money/investing/property-is-falling-shares-are-shaky-here-s-where-to-put-your-money-20181022-p50b65.html), or it could recover somewhat in just a few months based on undiminished demand. Im inclined to subscribe to a middle-road point of view, but either way, it will be a tough market with low growth in the next few years.
However, commercial property, particularly industrial property, has been performing much better than expected, so we are currently structuring the property portion of our clients asset portfolios with increased [exposure to commercial property](https://www.mybusiness.com.au/management/5037-commercial-rents-defy-fragile-property-prices). We believe that this represents a prudent way to retain property exposure in a balanced portfolio.
Not a Good Time to Take Risks
Its not a good time to gamble in the property market, or indeed, any other market, says Mousa. He doesnt believe that investors should expect high yields from investments in the current economic climate and he warns prospective investors against any investment promising high yields. High yields mean greater risk. So, you could get those returns, but theres also a high probability of losing out completely. In the current environment, risk is magnified.
As far as property goes, domestic property isnt a great investment for the time being. Even in best-case scenarios, growth may be some time in coming. Commercial property is a better investment, but Mr Mousa stresses the difference between a home and an investment property.
If youre buying a home you and your family are likely to live in for the next twenty years or so its not the same as buying into a property consortium as an investment, he points out. The cost of credit is bound to rise, so theoretically, at least, the next 12 months could be the cheapest youll get a property in the next decades.
