Property Investors Council of Australia<\/a> (PICA) survey in mid-May found that 72 per cent of investors were confident about the market\u2019s short-term prospects \u2013 down only 10 percentage points from an investor sentiment survey conducted in September last year.
\nThe survey results, which attracted 1,877 responses from across the nation, also found that the coronavirus crisis had not changed the investment intentions of 80 per cent of investors over the next six or 12 months.
\nPIPA chair Peter Koulizos said the survey showed that investors were overwhelmingly optimistic about the property market over the next year.
\n\u201cNearly 60 per cent of respondents indicated that the pandemic had not made them change their investment plans over the next six months, with a further 18 per cent saying the crisis had actually made it more likely they would purchase a property over that timeframe,\u201d Mr Koulizos said.
\n\u201cThe survey results also showed about 30 per cent of investors were more likely to buy a property in the next six to 12 months because of the pandemic.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s clear that record low interest rates as well as the resilient nature of property during turbulent times are inspiring investors to continue with their plans.\u201d
\nWhile the survey found that 36 per cent of investors had experienced a loss of income, outside of rent, during the pandemic, the vast majority, at 91 per cent, had not applied to pause their mortgage repayments.
\nPICA chair Ben Kingsley said only a small percentage of respondents (five per cent) indicated the crisis had made it more likely that they would sell a property over the next six to 12 months.
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s more telling is that more than 30 per cent said they were less likely to sell over the same period because of the pandemic, with 63 per cent indicating no change at all to their plans,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cMost investors also indicated that they had the financial buffers to see them through the current economic uncertainty.
\n\u201cThe survey results definitively show optimism among investors as well as a business as usual attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than 70 per cent of property investors say it is a good time to buy residential property with the majority also believing it is business as usual, according to a joint industry survey.
