Property Best Investment as Stock Market Takes a Tumble

Meriton boss, Harry Triguboff says if we stick to what we know in regards property investment here in Australia, we can ride any storm coming from America.

The silver lining after the stock market took a dive due to the global tariffs is that a further three to four interest rate drops over 2025 is expected.

“A dive in the stock market signals economic weakness, so in turn the RBA will need to lower interest rates to stimulate the economy,” Mr Triguboff says.

“Buyers were out in force last weekend because they want to secure a property before prices start to rise which is invariably what happens when interest rates drop.

“When buyers buy off-the-plan, with completion two or three years down the track, it is likely there will be capital growth potential over that period of time. The more time to completion, the more likely the property will be worth more.

“It makes property a very safe investment.

“And the lack of supply makes it even more profitable and secure.

“Now is a particularly good time to buy with the problems across the world. We will continue to give buyers finance because they may still struggle getting it from the banks for a while yet.

“I am happy to do that because, unlike the banks, we have no bad debts.

“Our buyers are king, and we look after them,” he said.
