The total value of Australia’s residential property market has hit a monumental milestone, surpassing $10 trillion for the first time. According to the latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the value of the country’s 10.8 million dwellings rose by $221.2 billion in the March quarter, with the average home value now standing at $941,900, up from $925,300 in December 2021.
This impressive growth highlights the ongoing strength of the housing market, but if you think property investment success is as simple as purchasing the house down the street, think again. Property investment requires more than just luck or impulse—it takes a clear strategy, emotional and financial readiness, and a strong educational foundation.
Here at The Property Mentors, we’ve identified three key areas that investors must master to truly succeed in property:
Given the current challenges and opportunities in the property market, it’s crucial to focus on educational readiness. Why? Because in the world of property investing, education always comes before results.
Many would-be investors fall into one of these three common traps:
So, which one do you identify with most closely?
To avoid these pitfalls, your education must be tailored to your personal financial goals. As Luke Harris, CEO and founder of The Property Mentors, often says, “Education is key, but it’s only useful if it’s applied to your specific investment strategy.”
The good news is that you don’t need to be a property expert on everything. By clearly defining your goals, you can focus your education on what’s most relevant to your personal circumstances. This will save you time on unnecessary research and help you achieve your goals faster, without getting distracted by irrelevant tactics.
And while no one can know everything about property, trying to absorb it all could actually be counterproductive. With constant changes in property laws, market conditions, and council regulations, you could spend years chasing information that doesn't apply to your goals.
That’s why surrounding yourself with industry experts is critical. When you combine relevant information with the right advice at the right time, you’ll avoid costly mistakes and create a well-informed investment strategy.
As you grow in knowledge and experience, your results will improve. Each property purchase should bring you closer to mastering the art of investing. As Luke Harris wisely puts it, "The more you learn, the more you realise you don’t know—so it’s crucial to have the right people guiding you along the way."
