The past year has seen major shifts in Australia's property
markets, but not in our attitudes to property. Buyers may favour
different areas or property types over time, and price growth may
occasionally stall or even reverse, but surveys show that our faith
in bricks and mortar as an investment option remains just as solid
as the long-term upward trend in property values. Here are 10
reasons why Australian investors' devotion to property is so
unwavering.
1. It's the main game
Property is by far the largest asset class in Australia, often
making it a key component of any balanced investment portfolio. The
nation's combined residential and commercial property market is
worth more than $8 trillion, compared to the $2.7 trillion we have
saved in superannuation and the $2 trillion invested in the
ASX.
