Rob Devlin in the Australian Property Update on residential property growth
Australian property has delivered strong long-term returns, often defying conventional wisdom. Tribeca Financial Head of Advice, Rob Devlin, recently featured in the Australian Property Update, sharing insight into why property continues to perform well and how it fits into a balanced investment approach.
Property’s long-term resilience
In the article, Rob highlighted that property benefits from structural advantages, including significant tax incentives such as the family home’s exemption from capital gains tax.
“I think once we get down to returns net of fees, tax, etcetera, the comparison gets more nuanced and complicated,” he said, “but largely no surprises to see property doing really well, and we think having exposure to the property market in some form is a great idea for most people.”
The article notes that over the past 25 years, Australian residential property has delivered stronger growth than many share markets, with certain capital cities recording increases of over 500%. While shares can experience sharper swings, property tends to offer relative stability over the long term.
Understanding the nuances of property returns, including fees, tax, and market conditions, can help investors make informed decisions and build balanced portfolios.
