Investing in SA

South Australia is currently experiencing huge demand in rental properties and has also seen some of the country’s highest house price increases in the last 12 months, so it’s the perfect state to choose for your next property investment.

When you add the favourable outlook for interest rates in 2025, any property investor that buys in SA can expect high demand and competitive rental income likely.

A few facts and figures:

– New home prices are expected to rise by 23%, by 2026/27
– At the same time, rental rates are estimated to rise by 25%
– As interest rates drop, Off the Plan (OTP) investments allow you to lock-in pre-construction prices now
– Renters increasingly prefer energy-efficient, modern properties

So, if you’re considering property investment, here are a few tips that will help you get started.

Choose a reputable developer

Choosing a developer with experience and a proven track record is crucial. That way you’ll be assured your investment property is built on a strong foundation of expertise. Buying off the plan means you can buy something usually with a fixed budget and in a clear timeframe.

The team at Oaklands Green comprises some of the most experienced developers, builders and designers in its fold. This all equates to peace of mind – especially if you’re a first-time investor.

Find the right location

Location is just as important to renters as it is to homeowners. And it goes without saying that a development in an established area ticks all the boxes when it comes to appeal. Amenities like schools, public transport, shopping centres (we have one of the biggest in Westfield Marion just near Oaklands Green) beaches and parks are all in the Oaklands Green neighbourhood.

Have a support team

Building a strong support network is crucial for successful property investment. Consider partnering with:

– An experienced mortgage broker to secure the most suitable loan product and interest rate.
– A financial planner to assess your financial goals and risk tolerance and develop a tailored investment strategy.
– A tax agent or accountant to optimise your tax position and minimise your tax liability, ensuring you maximise your returns.

By leveraging the expertise of these professionals, you can navigate the complexities of the property market with confidence and make informed investment decisions.
