Especially, doing away with property price adjustments against inflation will profoundly impact the luxury real estate category. So, here are key strategies to protect your hard-earned money.
Making the First Move
If you’ve been dillydallying your investment decision, then this might be the right opportunity to invest in the luxury real estate sector. Industry experts predict up to 20% price correction in luxury real estate, which presents a wonderful opportunity for infusing money into the category. As price consolidation is likely to set in soon, luxury properties might be available at a relatively reasonable price.
Focus on Rentals
The short-term impact of new tax rates might dissuade buyers from buying properties. This is specifically true for the luxury space, and consequently, rentals will grow with studies projecting up to 12% growth in metropolitan areas. Investors can capitalize on the rental trend by investing in luxury offices, commercials, and residential spaces.
Collaborate with Builders
Experts predict the new LTCG tax provisions might cool off the transactions in future. The decline in demand will spiral the project costs for developers, forcing them to revisit their financing models. This opens another window of opportunity, and by funding projects, investors collaborate with builders in exchange for mutually decided benefits.
Leverage Financial Models
The new tax policies will force banks to rigorously compete on interest rates and financial products to attract new customers and retain current ones. Investors can also benefit from new rates and by choosing the best available financing options, a significant reduction in tax can be achieved.
As the value of luxurious properties grows faster than inflation, the new LTCG tax provisions are likely to have little impact on investors in the long run. In fact, lowering the tax rate from 20% to 12.5% augurs well for investors who are in the market with a long-term investment perspective.
