O

ne thing I've learned after decades in real estate is this: when governments try too hard to steer the property market, the results aren't always as they foresee and things can go very wrong.

For years, we've heard claims that Australia's tax settings unfairly favoured investors at the expense of first-home buyers and turned housing into a playground for ‘privileged property speculators’ at the direct expense of owner-occupiers.

I think that view is unfounded.

The property market does not discriminate by age or by purpose. Everyone participates in the same market, influenced by the same fundamentals.

Asset class policies have undergone major structural reforms, some even relying on historically flawed models, but housing isn't just another asset class. It's where people live, raise families, invest for their future and build long-term security.

Let the market be! The pendulum always swings. Given opportunity, markets will correct themselves. At present, most appear to be centring.

The supply and demand balance remains a critical issue. Do we have a housing availability issue in Australia?

Absolutely!

For more than a decade, the property and construction industries have been warning that we have not been building enough homes.

Now we're paying the price, with rental shortages, rising prices and growing affordability pressures. The government is significantly behind in its Housing Accord promised targets.

Stripping tax incentives from established dwellings is more likely to shrink new housing supply. Changing tax settings or discouraging investment doesn't create more houses. If anything, it reduces confidence and slows delivery of the new housing we desperately need.

Small and medium businesses in Australia face growing regulatory and financial policy challenges, and recent policy changes are disincentivising Australians from starting businesses.

Laissez-Faire Let the market be with JOEL DAVOREN Managing Director, REMAX Australia These S/M businesses employ more than 40 per cent of Australia's workforce. When policy creates uncertainty for business owners, it ultimately affects jobs, consumer confidence and the broader economy.

Employment is one of the biggest drivers of a healthy property market.

There is little point in trying to manipulate lower house prices if people don’t have employment, either to buy in or to repay loans, if they are worried about job security or can't get finance.

To see prices stabilise we need more new quality dwellings, faster, but the construction industry is under enormous pressure. Rising costs, labour shortages and increasing regulation have forced too many companies into administration, delaying new home delivery.

Despite these challenges, I'm optimistic.

I believe that property will remain a strong investment option, whether as principal place of residence or investment, as Australians continue to see property as security, independence and an opportunity to create wealth for future generations.

Yes, there will be political headwinds and policy changes ahead, but people will still find a way forward. Australians are remarkably resilient. People will continue to save, invest and pursue home ownership because it remains one of the most tangible and rewarding assets available.

My hope is that future policy focuses less on trying to manipulate the market and more on enabling supply, supporting business confidence and encouraging investment.

Laissez-faire.

Let the market be.

Something has changed in residential design. Straight lines are giving way to curves.

1930s–40s: Curves were mainstream and highly fashionable in Australian architecture.

1960s–70s: Curves returned in modernist and organic forms.

2020s: Curves have become fashionable again, especially in luxury and contemporary residential design.

effect

T

oday’s return to curves in contemporary Australian homes is often described as ‘a revival of both Art Deco softness and 1970s organic modernism, but updated with minimalist materials, biophilic design and modern construction technology’.

Current trends include arched openings, rounded plaster walls, curved kitchen islands, organic landscaping and soft contemporary furniture.

Curves were strongly fashionable in Australian architecture during the late Art Deco and Streamline Moderne era of the 1930s and early 1940s when Australian architects embraced rounded building corners, curved balconies, porthole windows, horizontal ‘ocean liner’ styling, sweeping staircases and aerodynamic façades. The style appeared frequently in apartment buildings, cinemas, hotels and beachside homes, especially in the larger cities.

The 1960s through 1970s gave another important curved design period, termed organic modernism, influenced by Scandinavian modernism and futurism, and architects such as Harry Seidler. This era featured curved concrete forms, sunken lounges, circular homes, sweeping roofs and sculptural interiors.

There is luxury and high-end appeal as curves are often associated with bespoke architecture and premium interiors, and technologies like curved concrete, flexible timber, bent steel and curved glass now make complex curved designs more

achievable.

In both exterior and interior house design, curves soften spaces, improve flow and create a more organic aesthetic. Popular uses of curves include: Curved walls – to create smoother transitions between rooms and add a sculptural feel to interiors.

Arched doorways and windows - to bring elegance and timelessness to homes.

Curved window glass – to increase panoramic views and enhance natural light.

Rounded furniture – to make interiors feel more inviting and comfortable.

Curved staircases - to add luxury and visual movement as focal architectural features.

Circular or oval rooms - to create unique spatial experiences.

Rounded kitchen islands – to reduce sharp edges and create more social interaction spaces.

Curved ceilings and bulkheads – to make rooms feel larger and add architectural sophistication.

Bathroom features – to imitate spalike interiors.

Built-in curved seating – to encourage conversation and maximize comfort.

Decorative elements - to add softness and artistic character.

Curved rooflines – to improve visual appeal and assist with water drainage and wind flow.

Softened corners outside - to avoid harsh geometry and create calm, serene environments.

Curved facades - to make buildings stand out and improve aerodynamic performance.

The pool is changing with the architecture.

What used to be a standard blue rectangle is increasingly becoming something more integrated with curved walls, softened corners, textured finishes and shapes that feel connected to the house and landscape. Curves are a sign of a back or front yard that’s been designed, not just a pool dropped in.

Straight lines are giving way to curves in softened outdoor design. Curves work beautifully in compact yards.

BACKYARD ECONOMY Replacing lawns with lunch W I T H LY N C O X

or beetroot (1m2); cucumbers or zucchini (1m2); spring onions or radish (1m2); strawberries (1m2) and herbs (1m2).

I don’t even have quite that space squeezed in by my driveway, but I don’t measure up too badly with my year-round haul.

My ideal is a backyard food system that involves fruit trees around boundaries, pollinator plants, raised beds near the house, a compost area, rainwater collection and a chicken coop.

If I had 100 square metres to play with, my productive garden might yield salad greens year-round, an abundance of herbs, tomatoes, capsicum, eggplant, chillies, corn, beans including snake beans, root vegetables, Brussels sprouts in winter, some kind of berries, a few citrus trees and, of course, eggs.

Primara Research’s survey of 1000 Australians comes at a time of growing demand for homes with solar systems, water tanks, battery storage and vegetable gardens.

Across suburbs and cities, homeowners are replacing ornamental lawns with vegetables, fruit trees, herbs and chickens to create productive backyard food systems. What was once considered niche or alternative is increasingly becoming mainstream, particularly among younger families and homeowners.

A

comment from Primara Research, in a study for money.com,au, made me think recently. It said repeated exposure to severe weather events and supply chain disruptions has created a population more focused on practical household preparedness.

The gradual shift toward edible landscaping is growing momentum with raised-bed vegetable gardens, backyard orchards and small-scale urban agriculture more evident.

Don’t overlook using the front yard for edible gardens rather than decorative landscapes.

A household’s produce outcome depends largely on climate, soil and management.

Practical Australians are making conscious decisions about their greatest asset, and growing food at home was the most common first step.

Organizations worth exploring include Permaculture Australia and Community Gardens Australia.

Are we looking more critically at how much space our lawns occupy versus how much food we can produce at home? Why mow when you can harvest?

The survey showed Queenslanders are determined to become less reliant on buying food than any other state. Here’s how the ‘growing own food’ figures stood: QLD at 57 per cent, WA at 49 per cent, VIC at 46 per cent, NSW at 44 per cent and SA at 39 per cent.

With just 10 square metres, here’s a possibility: Trellised tomatoes and/or eggplant (2m2); vertical planting of beans or peas (1m2); salad greens (2m2); carrots

Wherever you are, take the challenge.

Convert just one section of lawn this spring and track the harvest.

eading styling company, Spatial Property Styling, knows a lot about transforming outdoor spaces into inspirational extensions of the home that are designed to capture the attention of potential buyers.

Take some tips from the Spatial approach to styling outdoor areas to maximise impact:

Create a cohesive flow.

Having a consistent colour palette and complementary materials from indoors to outdoors can make the home feel larger, more connected and more luxurious.

Highlight lifestyle.

Don’t just put some furniture about, create a lifestyle through a scene that helps potential buyers imagine slow mornings with coffee, sunset drinks with friends or weekend entertaining.

Use the right furniture.

Quality outdoor furniture that is comfortable and stylish immediately elevates the feel of a property, and furniture that photographs beautifully makes for hero images.

in the alfresco. Place seating to maximise views and natural light.

Soften empty corners with lowmaintenance greenery.

Provide texture in layers.

Outdoor throws, cushions, ribbed ceramics and stoneware can make an area appear more premium but avoid visual clutter by sticking to a restrained palette of textures and just a few high-impact pieces.

Let light work for you.

The aim is to create an inviting ambience that buyers respond strongly to, whatever the time of day or night. You might use candles or lanterns sparingly during inspections to enhance mood.

Keep it easy.

Buyers want the idea of easy living, not high maintenance. Their first impression should be spotless, fresh, stylish and low fuss, which might mean removing clutter and worn outdoor pieces.

Define a clear entertaining zone.

As sellers, we should want buyers to become emotionally attached as they feel at ease in the comfortable furniture and see themselves as the entertainer.

Show buyers how functional the space is and they will want to be part of it, hosting their own gatherings

The emotional resonance is what makes buyers linger and take the step from browsing to buying.

L

ifestyle choices are a primary driver of migration as Australians seek well-being work-life balance and specific environments to call home.

In fact, a surprisingly high portion of this country’s internal migration is motivated by lifestyle preferences over job relocation, a push that was accelerated by the pandemic when widespread adoption of remote work allowed many professionals to move to regional areas while keeping their city salaries.

The end destination is generally tied to economic factors and key life events.

on

Let’s look at two different options: Toowoomba, a family-friendly ‘tree change’ with a rich heritage and a strong regional economy, situated 125 km inland from Brisbane; and Byron Bay, a globally renowned coastal hotspot and upscale ‘sea change’, located 165 km south of Brisbane.

LOCATION Trading postcodes for lifestyle

Toowoomba

Most likely to choose Toowoomba are young families, mid-career professionals and retirees with solid household incomes who ‘d like to minimize debt while maximizing space. Practicality and the desired long-term lifestyle drive them, and they’d love to find a large, character-filled heritage home or sprawling modern residence.

What about Toowoomba attracts:

10

VIEW PROPERTY MAGAZINE

/

Affordability compared to the major capitals, more land and larger family homes.

/

The ‘Garden City’ features distinct seasons, historical architecture, a booming culinary scene and parklands galore. It’s classic ‘tree change’ meets ‘rural urban’.

/

Its economy is highly diversified providing steady, reliable local employment.

/

Brisbane CBD is about 1 hour 45 minutes by car and Toowoomba has its own domestic airport.

In summary - budget, space and career stability Other options for these migratory lifestylers… places with affordability, family-friendly infrastructure, seasons, charm and strong local economies without capital city congestion, might be: /

Orange in New South Wales, where the vibe is sophisticated regional living with a strong sense of community, a thriving arts scene and a stable economy.

/

Ballarat in Victoria, where the vibe is proudly historic, family-centric and community-driven.

/

Albury-Wodonga straddling the Murray River, where the vibe is active and balanced, and the convenience of a large city with its own airport has a relaxed, country-town pace.

/

/

Armidale in New South Wales, where the vibe is cultured, academic and deeply historic, plus high-altitude crisp air, beautiful gardens and strong educational focus.

Launceston in Tasmania, where the vibe is enchanting, slow-paced and deeply connected to nature and food culture.

Byron Bay Affluent downsizers, tech entrepreneurs, high-net-worth investors and entertainment industry professionals are keen to live here, and they typically have substantial capital or the ability to sustain a high-cost coastal lifestyle.

Prestige, leisure and networking are drivers, and they’ll snap up the luxury architectural beach houses, high-end apartments or rural hinterland retreats, often to use as holiday homes, luxury short-term rentals or a remote work base.

In summary - higher budget, premium beachside, creativity and wellness-focused.

Other options for these migratory lifestylers… places with multimillion dollar luxury real estate, high-end dining, boutique shopping and a distinct beachwellness culture, might be: /

Noosa in Queensland, where the vibe is sophisticated, polished, resort-centric and perhaps slightly less ‘bohemian’.

/

Avalon Beach & Palm Beach in New South Wales, where the vibe is laidback coastal luxury that blends a relaxed, barefoot surf culture with high-end cosmopolitan living and doable drive to Sydney CBD.

/

Margaret River Region in Western Australia, where the vibe is rugged luxury, nature, elite viticulture, surfing, art and community. It’s the ultimate premium ‘sea and vine’ change for affluent buyers on the west coast.

/

Port Douglas in Queensland, where the vibe is relaxed in a high-end tropical village atmosphere with fine dining, yachting and premium wellness resorts.

/

Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, where the vibe is affluent, historic and highly manicured, and a European seaside feel melds with top-tier Australian dining and lifestyle infrastructure.

What about Byron Bay attracts: The prestige, high-end property market is one of the most expensive regional areas in Australia.

This is a sea change defined by more than its surfing beaches, adding a wellness and yoga culture and a glamorous, celebrityfavoured social scene.

Brisbane CBD is about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours away, with the Gold Coast Airport about a 45-minute drive.

Tourism, hospitality, retail and the creative arts mostly drive the economy here.

THE REAL ESTATE LANDSCAPE

Portugal draws expats with its warm climate, high personal safety, relaxed lifestyle, excellent healthcare, walkable cities and accessible residency programs.

While it is still possible for a foreigner to purchase a property, it should be noted that this no longer grants eligibility for the ‘Golden Visa’, previously a drawcard. The Portuguese government removed this option to address rising housing prices and improve property accessibility for local residents.

Portugal has a warm climate, relaxed lifestyle, safety, excellent healthcare, walkable cities and accessible residency. Popular relocation choices are vibrant Lisbon, the ‘retirement dream’ the Algarve and possibly less costly Porto.

Partner with a highly regarded and reputable local real estate agent with in-depth knowledge of the market you are buying into. It’s best to use an independent English-speaking lawyer or solicitor to conduct due diligence.

Accurate legal guidance to ensure compliance is imperative.

EQUITY IS

Shannon Arnold

YOUR NEXT MOVE Many homeowners are in a better position in today’s property market than they realise.

A

fter several years of price growth across much of Australia, many people now have more equity in their homes but aren’t always sure how to use it or whether they even should.

Equity is simply the difference between what your property is worth and what you still owe on your home loan.

As values rise and loan balances fall over time that gap increases This may open the door to opportunities.

A smarter way to take the next step.

We’re seeing more homeowners use equity strategically to move forward.

For some, that means upgrading to a larger home as their family or lifestyle changes. For others, it’s renovating and adding value while making their current home more functional.

Homeowners are also using equity to step into property investing sooner than expected.

14

VIEW PROPERTY MAGAZINE

Some of the equity built up in the existing home may be used instead of starting from scratch with a brand-new deposit for the next purchase or project.

It’s about making informed decisions rather than overextending.

Equity isn’t just a number, it’s about structure.

How equity is used matters just as much as the sum available.

Accessing equity means increasing your lending, so getting the loan structure right is critical. Repayments need to be manageable not just now but over the long term.

These are the questions we often work through with clients: /

How much equity should be accessed and how much should be left untouched?

/

Should the equity be separated from the existing loan?

/

What impact will this have on cash flow?

/

Is this about investing, renovating or planning for a future move?

The right approach depends on your goals, income and appetite for risk, which is why advice matters.

Timing can work in your favour.

One common mistake that homeowners make is waiting until they’re ready to buy or renovate before reviewing their loan and equity position.

Understanding your options earlier can make the process far smoother. Lending policies change, interest rates move and the right opportunity can appear quickly.

Knowing where you stand ahead of time gives you confidence and flexibility.

Start with a simple review.

Using equity doesn’t have to mean making an immediate move.

Knowing your equity position begins with a simple review of your current loan, an updated property value and awareness of borrowing capacity. That clarity alone can highlight opportunities you may not have considered or confirm that waiting is the right choice for now.

Either way, having a plan puts you in a stronger position for whatever comes next.

If you’re curious about what your next move could look like, get in touch today.

What an interesting conundrum: can rustic be modern?

a reliance on natural light. Adding to this is the warmth of a rustic or rural persona that has depth and character with tactile materials, earthy tones and a sense of connection to the land.

Together, they create exteriors and interiors that feel both calming and richly layered.

The answer is clearly ‘yes’ as modern rustic is said to be trending this year.

The difference between modern and rustic homes can be seen in a pure rustic design that focuses on natural materials, warm tones and texture, while modern design is sleek, minimal and uses industrial materials like glass and metal.

Modern rustic then is a hybrid look that combines clean lines with natural textures.

The blended style creates a warm and inviting, yet also elegant, space.

It merges traditional and modern elements to create a welcoming and sophisticated envirovnment.

It began, in a sense, as a blend of coastal minimalism and rural warmth, a style that married clean lines and light-filled spaces with the timeless textures of timber, corrugated iron and sandstone.

In 2026, this look has fully matured to become one of the most desirable approaches for homeowners seeking comfort, groundedness and understated elegance.

What coastal minimalism brings to the table is a freshness and simplicity in open plans, uncluttered rooms and

Timber beams are a defining feature in a modern rustic home. Exposed structural timber adds a grounding, organic presence.

Beams provide a sense of timelessness that soften architectural lines and bring even the most contemporary designs back down to earth.

Timber beams can be sculptural elements in open-plan living areas, drawing the eye upward.

In the modern rustic home, corrugated iron can pay homage to Australia’s rural heritage.

Once seen most often on farm buildings and sheds, corrugated iron has found new life as an interior and exterior design element, adding character without overwhelming other elements.

This year, we see it come inside as feature while outside, it remains a durable, fire-wise roofing choice that now comes in on-trend colours that complement stone and timber.

Sandstone has long been appreciated for its honeyed, earthy beauty and in the modern rustic home it is used sparingly but deliberately for feature walls, flooring, fireplace surrounds and outdoor landscaping.

The modern rustic style creates a unique atmosphere where interiors, though stripped back, are not stark. Instead, they feel lived-in, welcoming and emotionally warm. Furniture is often low, tactile and crafted from natural fibres, and lighting tends to be soft and layered with pendants made from woven fibres or aged metal.

It is a style said to celebrate imperfection, patina and simplicity, and what makes the Australian modern rustic look so enduring is its authenticity.

In 2026, homeowners have asked for rooms that feel warm, grounded, and real. The ‘modern rustic’ has delivered.

make small work S

ize isn't everything. Who says it has to be the traditional backyard with a vast lawn, a big shed and a swing set?

If your backyard is small, plan a layout to maximise sunlight, shade and privacy, without too many elements.

TINY TIPS

Use climbing plants on structures by adding stainless steel wires or mesh framework. Preferably, plant in the ground, not a pot.

Place potted plants strategically on windowsills or the edge of a retaining wall without overcrowding.

Adding mounted outdoor mirrors can improve the illusion of space, particularly when used together with effective lighting.

Keep your outdoor area clutter free by introducing clever storage solutions. If space permits, a small garden shed is a great option.

Borrow a view and create the illusion of space, like the neighbour’s tree or a feature of the distant landscape.

Keep design and layout simple and look to essentials only.

Plant suggestions: Cycads for their sculptural look and green fronds.

Choose lighter colours for furniture, flowerpots and cushions to reflect more light and openness.

Chinese Star Jasmine for quickgrowing, year-round screening and sweetly fragrant spring/ summer flowers.

Create the illusion of depth through use of dark colours or cool tones on the wall or fence.

Dwarf Tahitian lime tree for the fresh scent of citrus and one to two metres in height.

Provide a pop of colour as a feature element.

Non-invasive varieties of bamboo for vertical screening.

Make use of circular timber or paved areas at different levels.

Don’t make a space feel overcrowded with lots of small pots. Instead, select one large-scale hero planter.

Uplight your garden’s key features.

VIEW PROPERTY MAGAZINE

Go up. Use walls, fences and trellises for vertical gardening, use hanging plants and install shelves to provide useful space.

Choose small furniture that fits the space, such as bistro sets, folding chairs, a hammock, or built-in benches and bench seats that can double as storage spaces.

Keep colours and finishes in paving, fencing, paint, materials, furniture etc simple and timeless.

62

Don’t just light up areas close to your house, use lighting to create a sense of depth.

One or two statement trees or shrubs, depending on space availability – Banksia integrifolia, Olea europaea (olive tree), Crepe Myrtle, Juniperus Keteleeri (cloud tree).

TRUST METRIC

with Jennifer Kent & Cotality

A

t the core of every interaction, conversation and transaction throughout the home buying process lies trust, and trust is generally earned rather than given freely.

AI, once considered a novelty, is firmly embedded in the process.

The penetration of AI in the buying process came about quickly. From refining property searches and analysing reviews to becoming an almost automatic step in early stages of buying a home, it plays a significant role. We have, perhaps more readily than we realise, accepted AI as part of the process.

The complexity of relationships between people and AI is building. As technology advances and the speed at which we demand response grows, so too do our expectations. Accuracy, reliability and accountability are expected, with little tolerance for mistakes.

Key findings from Cotality’s AI in House: 2026 Report reveal that trust in AI throughout the home buying and lending process has declined significantly over the past year.

Cotality is the largest independent provider of property information, analytics and property-related risk management services in Australia and New Zealand.

This trend is unmistakable: trust in AI is falling.

For Australian borrowers the data was convincing, with the report finding Australian borrowers were 90 per cent more likely (than those in the US and UK) to have a zero tolerance for machine errors. It also identified a 10 per cent trust penalty when mistakes were made

by AI rather than by a human. While this concern is shared across all generations, it is younger Australians who exhibit the steepest decline in trust.

AI has the benefit of speed and efficiency, and the trajectory of its implementation in almost all processes of business and decision-making is substantial. Yet despite its growing presence, trust in AI has halved in the past 12 months.

Homebuyers expect a higher standard when AI is involved. They want accountability, transparency and, above all, accuracy when making decisions with significant financial consequences.

These are, of course, the same qualities consumers expect from human professionals: expertise, accountability and accuracy. The difference is that

the consequences of losing trust are considerably greater when AI makes the mistake.

To simplify, an error is more forgivable if made by a human than AI. Cotality’s research highlighted that one out of every three buyers would pay more for human involvement. It also found that a material AI error would result in 70 per cent of those analysed losing trust in the home buying process, compared to a 60 per cent trust decline following a comparable human error.

Consumers recognise that AI is being used in one form or another, but how and why is more unclear. To help narrow the gap between AI and trust, greater disclosure about the role of AI and use of AI-generated information should be considered, with human review proving invaluable to build and retain trust.

"If a space opens up, I plant something in it, but even a good mess requires some intention."

n my neighbourhood, locals and visitors alike stop to talk to me about my foot path. It’s more about what is either side of the concrete path constructed by developers more than 20 years ago. They talk about my garden, and every person who speaks with me has kind words to say.

I live on a corner. I have the east-facing garden and the south-facing one, but it is the southeast corner that gets the most sun, with other spots shaded by massive Tuckeroos and the house itself.

I take all the compliments because I love what I have created.

What I didn’t realise until recently is that I am very ‘on trend’. Yes, my messy style of gardening is flourishing.

Now that I’ve read just what is involved in creating a garden that ‘emphasises relaxed, biodiverse and un-styled aesthetics’, perhaps I can give you some tips on making your patch an attention-getter.

Choose plants that you love. Choose a diversity of plants that suit your soil and climate. Climate compatible plants should come first.

Plants don’t always conform to our experiences or expectations so choose plants that are resilient and adaptable, and their care is less likely to overwhelm you.

Allow plants to grow, wander and intermingle rather than keeping them neatly separated.

Combine structural, upright plants with groundcover and varied leaf textures to create visual depth.

Be an ambassador for biodiversity and focus on native plants that offer food and habitat for insects and wildlife.

Encourage flowering weeds, which can add colour and support bees.

Think about creating gardens that look good all year round. Succulents and shrubs will provide permanence, while annuals, biennials, perennials and bulbs have different time frames and will delight throughout the year.

Even a good mess requires some intention, and it’s good to have focal points, such as a bold shrub or a small, informal seating area, to anchor the wilder areas.

I was directed to a Sydney Morning Herald article from April this year, which spoke about the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show (MIFGS), and more specifically, Jac Semmler’s garden. This horticulturalist, planting designer and author encourages us to plant exactly what we like because gardens are for pleasure and the only person we should seek to please is ourselves.

It’s likely you’ll have more amenities at your fingertips than if you’d bought a home at the same price – like gym, pool, spa and so on.

I let the plants lead the maintenance, another Semmler principle. I see my gardens as ever-changing environments that flourish and grow, not plants that just ‘get established and survive’. And it’s from the plants themselves that I take my cue about deadheading, pruning or otherwise.

t is suggested by many observing property buying trends that the idea of jumping boots and all into the ‘forever home’ has morphed into something more akin to navigating stepping stones.

We are progressing through our property acquisitions in an incremental, pragmatic way.

In this stepping stone approach, buyers are less attached to the idea of a single, perfect property and more focused on momentum as each purchase is part of a longer strategy and not a final destination.

So, what does this look like in real terms?

Let’s look at the buyer whose first purchase is more about entry into the market and less about loving the property itself. This might be a one- or two-bedroom apartment in a middle-ring suburb of a city.

This becomes the starting point.

It doesn’t have to be perfect. It may not be great for entertaining, have little storage space and a constant compromise of furniture, but it is a foothold. Its real value comes from being in the market and translating even modest price growth into usable equity.

The apartment represents entry and ambition.

Ready for the next stepping stone?

That equity might see you find your way to ownership of a townhouse.

Even if you’ve had to purchase a little further out where there’s less buyer competition, your home is affordable but offers more space, flexibility and the ability to add value.

Observers are seeing a slight difference to old trends here. In the past, this would have been the time for the major overhaul and dream renovation. Today, these buyers are more likely to make strategic improvements like a basic kitchen refresh, aiming at cosmetic changes that improve liveability and resale value without overcapitalising.

The home might now have a small yard, a home office and perhaps allow for a degree of entertaining, but it is not the finish line. The townhouse reflects growth and experimentation.

On to the next stepping stone.

Now, equity from the first two properties, combined with growth in the income our buyer has enjoyed and the clearer priorities they have for their lifestyle and residence, delivers more options.

Here, trends are suggesting the next step might be out of the city to a much larger property and closer to a ‘dream home’ in a lifestyledriven location.

The buyer has negotiated the stepping stones from a compromisedriven purchase to a choice defined by space, pace and quality of life.

Here, the notion about ‘upgrade’ is not so important anymore.

In the apartment phase, ownership itself, that is, getting into the market, was the goal. In the townhouse phase, it was about function and modest value-adding. The third phase was a more holistic decision about community, land and long-term liveability.

Today, moving multiple times tends to be viewed as savvy rather than risky.

It is how you remain adaptable and able to respond to changing finances, careers and lifestyles.

In a high-cost competitive market, waiting for the ideal home can mean missing the opportunity to build equity. That’s not to say that the ‘dream home’ has disappeared. It’s just not the starting point.

Our buyer has evolved through three properties to finally arrive at their destination.

timeless

expression A

home that feels polished, puttogether and never goes out of style begins with making smart, stylish choices and buying ‘timeless’ furniture that your budget allows from the start.

Timeless pieces have things in common.

They are made from high-quality materials such as solid wood, leather, metal and natural fibres. They are functional and comfortable in their design.

Rather than trend-driven shapes, they have simple proportions.

They are versatile across multiple decorating styles.

They are built with a craftsmanship that allows for decades of use.

Some thoughts to guide you:

68

VIEW PROPERTY MAGAZINE

/

Invest in quality.

/

Choose furniture pieces that can evolve with your style over the years, rather than chase trends you might tire of.

/

Timeless means elegant, not experimental.

/

Choose classic lines and avoid overly stylised pieces with gimmicky shapes.

/

Make built-to-last appliances a priority.

/

Neutrals are best when it comes to bigger pieces, and creams, beiges, greys and earthy tones make a perfect base, giving you something to build on and working across all styles.

/

Nature never goes out of style.

/

Only when the foundation is in place, address the trendy touches.

A useful question when choosing furniture might be ‘Will this still feel appropriate in this home in 20 years?’

What feels ‘timeless’ is often influenced by the architecture, setting and the lifestyle the home embodies. Compare, for instance, a beach house, a rural house and a trendy city apartment.

Timeless pieces for a beach house would emphasize lightness, durability and a connection to nature. Examples are the linen sofa, teak or oak dining table, rattan or woven lounge chairs, simple beds in light wood and weather-resistant outdoor dining furniture For the rural home, it is furniture chosen for warmth, substance and durability. It’s the place for the large farmhouse dining table, the leather club chair, classic wooden Windsor chairs, solid wood sideboard or dresser and well-crafted bookcases and storage cabinets.

Chesterfield is not a brand, but rather an iconic style of furniture defined by its craftsmanship rather than its label.

In the trendy city apartment, timelessness often comes from restraint and multifunctionality, with visually light and highly functional pieces. A sofa with clean lines, compact lounge chairs, modular shelving and a mid-century dining table would have a place, and furniture would tend towards being storage focused.

A solid wood dining table could be timeless in all three homes: bleached oak at the beach; solid farmhouse oak in the country; and slim walnut with minimalist legs in the city.

Five pieces often considered timeless 01 | The Chesterfield sofa or club chair, with iconic deep-buttoned upholstery, nailhead accents and rolled arms. Popular since the 18th century, a Chesterfield works in traditional, industrial and contemporary interiors depending on the material and colour.

02 | The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, reputedly one of the most recognizable lounge chairs ever created, is a mid-century modern classic that combines comfort with sculptural elegance.

03 | A solid timber dining table, well designed and made in oak, walnut or another hardwood can last generations.

04 | The Wishbone Chair, created

by Hans J. Wegner, is a staple of Scandinavian design.

05 | A well-proportioned quality bookcase, whether freestanding or builtin, provides both storage and display space and clean lines and durable materials ensure it survives changing interior trends.

Even rental properties can do with a spring clean.

We can look at this in different ways.

First, as a tenant.

Start by getting yourself set up with the right tools. We suggest microfibre cloths, an extendable duster, a small handheld vacuum, a spray bottle with diluted vinegar solution, garbage bags, paper towels and sponges and a scrub brush/ toothbrush for grout. A magic eraser might come in handy.

Be realistic about how much time you want to devote to the spring clean.

If you’re short on time and a property inspection is the purpose of the clean, focus on the things they notice, such as kitchen grease and clutter, bathroom cleanliness, surfaces (floors and bench tops), odours, visible damage and mould.

Spring cleaning as a tenant is as much about making your place feel better as it is preparing for an inspection or protecting your bond. Try following this order, spreading the tasks over a couple of days: Declutter Dust high surfaces

Spring cleaning the

Wipe walls and fixtures Clean windows Deep-clean kitchen and bathroom Vacuum/mop floors last

As a landlord.

For the investment property owner, the ‘spring clean’ is actually a process that involves you and the property manager, through combining a physical spring clean with a review of matters to protect property value and improve tenant satisfaction.

Walk through properties and document their condition, checking for things like water stains, hairline foundation cracks, loose exterior fixtures and aging appliances.

Using photos or video creates a record and is helpful for insurance, maintenance planning and future repairs.

Think of this as your ultimate springcleaning checklist, with tasks conducted by you and/or your property manager.
