The average property in greater Sydney is now held for 12.4 years for houses and 9.6 years for units. Even in the rest of NSW the average hold periods are 10.5 and 9.2 years for houses and units respectively.
"The data suggest that home owners are much more reluctant to sell their property than they were a decade ago which is also highlighted by the ongoing decline in sales transactions. Other factors such as the rising cost of selling and purchasing property, combined with affordability constraints across some Australia’s more expensive capital cities contribute to owners holding onto their properties longer. It’s expected that this trend will continue over the coming years given such concerns aren’t likely to see much improvement in the near future".
Scrap stamp duty, replace with a universal land tax – what are the impacts?
"As a consequence of introducing the tax, land values would decline most in those suburbs in and around the CBD where land is currently most expensive (a drop of around 12 per cent), and less in suburbs further away from the CBD (a drop of around 8 per cent for properties 10 to 20 kilometres from the CBD).
The modelling shows falls in house prices will exceed the value of land tax payments, leading to more affordable housing for both owner-occupiers and rental tenants. Removing stamp duty will make it easier for people to buy a home, and also to sell their home and move to places where employment opportunities are better. It will also encourage owners to sell their homes on high-value land, thereby speeding up development in areas where land is expensive and leading to more available and affordable dwellings".
Personally I'm all for land tax. Hopefully they will grandfather it in and avoid double charging, particularly for people that have just paid stamp duty recently. In the short term government revenue will take a hit, but in the long term it seems like good policy. |
