Ever wonder how truly successful property investors build lasting wealth? It’s often not about quick flips or chasing fleeting trends. It’s about a timeless, proven approach: the “Buy & Hold” strategy.
It’s exactly what it sounds like: you acquire a property and commit to holding onto it for the long haul. This isn’t just a strategy; it’s a testament to the resilience and consistent growth of the Australian property market.
Consider the undeniable evidence. As our Property Analyst, Ellen Nesteroff, illustrates in the graph below, from 2003 to 2020, property values in Australia’s capital cities have shown an astonishing upward trend. Think about what we’ve collectively navigated in that time:
Despite these immense challenges and countless “ups and downs,” the overarching trend has been undeniably upward. This remarkable resilience is precisely why the “Buy & Hold” strategy is so incredibly powerful.
For even more compelling proof, simply ask your parents, or better yet, your grandparents, what they paid for their homes decades ago. Compare that to today’s prices, and you’ll grasp the staggering power of long-term property appreciation.
My conviction is clear: as long as populations continue to grow—driven by births and ongoing immigration—any property purchased with strong fundamentals will inevitably increase in value over the long term. It truly is “as safe as houses.”
