It’s not just owner-occupiers who are feeling happy about the property market, with investors also overwhelmingly positive about future price growth prospects.

The latest Australian Property Investor magazine Quarterly Investor Sentiment Survey shows that 68% of investors are positive about the market and three-quarters expect prices to grow in the next 12 months.

While price increases from the current national boom have a few concerned, it isn’t enough to deter the 52% of investors who still want to buy.

Affordability is top of mind for most investors, followed by concerns about growth potential and whether tenants will find it difficult to pay rent during future lockdowns.

A third of investors say they are planning to buy within the next 12 months, with Queensland the state most would like to buy in. Many say they have already reduced their costs by taking advantage of the current low interest rates to refinance their loans.
