2020 finished with
a bang for me or should I say, a knock! On
New Year’s Eve, I was unceremoniously
and rather dramatically hit by a car
and knocked off my mountain bike. The
shock, the bruises and the reversal in my
tenuous cycling confidence, whilst not
critical or bone-breaking, has given me
the chance to dust off my thinking as we
move into 2021.
2021 feels like a beautiful chance for all of us
to rethink different aspects of our lives, for me
at least. Professionally, it’s already feeling like
a full year. I expect the market to continue in
its current state, with strong buyer demand,
some stand-out – if not exceptional – prices,
and land to be highly sought-after by entrylevel
investors (most of the developers are
actively hunting).
It’s also easy to imagine some respite for
buyers with regard to choice, as the new
year summer-flush run of property enters the
marketplace.
For investors, there are a number of dynamics.
‘Boomers’ (sorry for the label!) are not
offloading investment portfolio properties like
they might once have done. Reasons for this
include the fact that returns are higher than for
bank deposits and the belief returns will only
improve with increasing tenant demand. There
are also more and more people contemplating
property investment and I’m not going to
comment on the proposed reinstatement of
LVR restrictions, but I will comment on this.
These are unusual times, they are adverse to
anything any of us might have seen before, and
the optimism that conditions have produced
is contagious. 2021 is expected to deliver us
out of the uncertainty of 2020, but one border
slip-up could see us all changing places and
once again our world could be upended.
That’s why it’s important to not only work
diligently but look at yourself honestly: is what
I’m doing what I want to be doing? And am I
doing it to the best of my ability? I’m a ‘yes’ and
a ‘yes’, but we’re all only an outbreak or in my
own case, a potential accident, away from not
getting the chance to really consider our year,
our lives and our potential. I’d like to embrace
qualities of courage, perseverance, empathy,
kindness and – a tough one – patience, and
I wish you all luck with your own journey,
personal or professional, in 2021.
P.S. for those of you who are cycling purists or
know my lovely husband well, the picture above
is not the bike he gave me!
