Why Property Investment FOMO is a real thing!
FOMO, or Fear Of Missing Out, is certainly something many people experience when it comes to purchasing property.
If you held back, didn’t invest, or are waiting for a better time, we thought we’d share some things you’ve missed out on in the Australian Property Market.
Yes, we’re being a bit tongue in cheek, and don’t want to make you feel bad. However, whilst past performance is no indicator of future success, property continues to prove its worth as part of the wealth creation plans of Aussies like you.
So, here are 6 Facts About Property Investment Results in Australia Over the Last Decade.
1. Steady Price Growth
Property prices have consistently climbed, with the national median house price rising by over 50% in the last decade.
Capital cities like Sydney and Melbourne saw even greater increases, making them strong performers.
2. Regional Boom
Regional areas became major winners, especially during and after the pandemic.
Affordable prices, lifestyle appeal, and remote work saw towns like Ballarat, Newcastle, and Geelong achieve annual growth rates of up to 15% in some years.
3. Rental Yields Improved
While capital city yields remained modest (3–4% on average), regional areas often provided better returns, with yields of 5% or more in many hotspots.
4. Resilience Through COVID-19
Despite the pandemic, Australian property proved incredibly resilient.
Prices dipped briefly in 2020 but bounced back strongly, with some areas hitting record highs by 2021.
5. Wealth Creation for Investors
Investors who bought and held property saw significant equity gains. For example, properties purchased in Sydney in 2013 often doubled in value by 2023.
6. Population Growth Drives Demand
Australia’s population grew steadily over the decade, with migration playing a big role. This boosted housing demand, particularly in cities and high-growth corridors.
Couple this with a post-pandemic surge in immigration and returning ex-pats and in recent years, this upward pressure has been even higher.
While past performance isn’t a cast iron guarantee for the future, these trends highlight why property remains a popular long-term investment in Australia.
