There are number of reasons why the market has rebounded including low interest rates, some relaxation in lending restrictions and low supply in some areas. The outcome is that many younger people are being priced out of the market, which isn’t a new problem but one that’s intensified in recent months and one that’s likely to gain increasing media attention as we approach the next federal election. The intent here is to summarise some recent government initiatives that are intended to assist young people enter the housing market and also some commentary about what might happen if this or future governments determine that more intervention is needed (with reference to a recent initiative from the New Zealand government).

We’ll discuss the changes that will have an impact on your financial plan directly and through the normal review process to ensure that you’re taking advantage of the opportunities that are relevant to you, however as it’s difficult to keep track of all changes we’ve summarised the key issues and impacts below.

The table provides a high level summary with more detail below: There was a press release from the Prime Minister's office over the weekend that with everything happening at the moment hasn't received much airplay, but which has the potential to impact your superannuation pension requirements for the forthcoming financial year.
As you'll be aware regulations require that the recipients of a superannuation pension draw at least a minimum level of income each year. The minimum depends upon the age of the recipient and is calculated as a percentage of the balance of their account at the start of the financial year. For example, a superannuation pension recipient aged between 65 and 74 is normally required to draw a minimum of 5% of their account balance each financial year. |
