After the trials of 2020\/21, I expect \u2018adaptable\u2019 and \u2018resilient\u2019 to be emblazoned across the plinth of every monument to human endurance erected for years to come.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been served up challenges in all parts of life and, to our credit, have mostly found ways to alter our behaviours and make the best of each situation.<\/p>\n

A great example of this is in the property investment space.<\/p>\n

\"Property<\/p>\n

Describing the way investor sentiment and motivation have shifted in recent years has been difficult to do via hard data\u2026 until now that is.<\/p>\n

The quantity surveying business I run with Marty Sadlier sees our team producing thousands of depreciation schedules every year for investors across the nation.

<\/div><\/p>\n

In the process of pulling together these reports, we collate an extraordinary amount of interesting data about our clients and the investment properties they own.<\/p>\n

It spurred us to create the 1000 Assets series.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a report that\u2019s updated regularly to track trends in investment property markets.<\/p>\n

Our 1000 Assets report for 2022 has just been released and it delivers a set of numbers like no other.<\/p>\n

For this article, I\u2019d like to talk about the study\u2019s revelations around how investor attitudes are changing, and what they reveal about the market direction in the future.<\/p>\n

What is the 1000 Assets report?<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve collated data captured during the preparation of our client\u2019s depreciation schedules into 1000-property subsets from 2016 onwards.<\/p>\n

From there, we\u2019ve analysed the numbers to monitor changing investment trends.<\/p>\n

The study includes outcomes for each individual subset, painting a picture of behaviour at certain points in time.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also tracked the trends between subsets to see how investor thinking and property decisions have evolved over the past six years.<\/p>\n

The 2022 report: Changing investor behaviour<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve identified a range of outcomes in the most recent 1000-asset dataset which runs from July 2021 to March 2022.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the revelations.<\/p>\n

One-fifth of landlords live in their investment first<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The numbers showed that 20.2 per cent of landlords lived in their assets before they were retained as investment properties.<\/p>\n

The average lived-in period was four years and four months.<\/p>\n

A percentage of these landlords are \u2018accidental investors\u2019.<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t intend to own an investment property when they first bought a home but became one when they decided to keep the asset instead of selling it.<\/p>\n

\"Rights<\/p>\n

What\u2019s interesting is this latest percentage is lower than the previous year\u2019s result which saw around 25 per cent of all investments lived in first.<\/p>\n

My take is that this is a combination of improved education and accessibility to remote buying opportunities.<\/p>\n

Put simply, people became more aware of the benefits of investing in real estate and were happy to keep their home and investment property dealings separate.<\/p>\n

They were also more easily able to seek opportunities outside of their local area.<\/p>\n

Many appear to have adopted a more purposeful approach to investing rather than simply falling into it by accident.<\/p>\n

The distance between home and investment has increased<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Investors are increasingly investing further and further from their home suburbs.<\/p>\n

We compared the 1000 asset dataset up to January 2020 against the dataset in November 2021.<\/p>\n

\"First<\/p>\n

It showed the average distance between a landlord\u2019s home and their investment property rose from 294 kilometres to 559 kilometres.<\/p>\n

In addition, the percentage investing greater than 1000 kilometres from home more than doubled during the period.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt the pandemic played its part in this outcome, but so has advanced technology and remote accessibility to experts.<\/p>\n

For example, plenty of Sydney and Melbourne investors have been keen to purchase in Queensland during the pandemic years and they weren\u2019t letting the shut border stop them.<\/p>\n

Investors are becoming savvier about their strategies.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The figures show investors are improving their self-education and are seeking ways to maximise their returns.<\/p>\n

For example, the time between buying an investment property and ordering a depreciation schedule in 2021 is half of what it was in 2016.<\/p>\n

A focus on finances and ways to make their investments work harder for them is obviously behind this outcome.<\/p>\n

With some financial insecurity creeping into household budgets, landlords have been motivated to boost their post-tax incomes as much as possible.<\/p>\n

\u00a0There\u2019s less appetite for new-build investment<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Investors are shying away from new construction, most likely in response to increased labour and material costs, coupled with a sparsity of available contractors.<\/p>\n

\"Construction<\/p>\n

Our numbers for 2022 reveal that 16.24 per cent of investors bought new-build assets as compared to 2016 when 23.9 per cent of investment properties were new.<\/p>\n

Given that cost increases look entrenched for the next few years, I don\u2019t expect this trend to reverse anytime soon.<\/p>\n

What does this tell us?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Just this small part of the study tells us investors are becoming increasingly more strategic on where they\u2019re buying, what they\u2019re buying, and ways to maximise their returns.<\/p>\n

It shows that distance is no longer a barrier to investing, and our ability as investors to remove emotion and focus on the numbers has improved.<\/p>\n

Investors have always been sensitive to price, so increased building costs have stymied new build investment in lieu of established housing as well.<\/p>\n

No doubt we\u2019ll continue to evolve and adapt as investors to changing environments.<\/p>\n

If we watch trends and track outcomes, we can stay ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n

This is foundational to making better decisions in the future.<\/p>\n
