Easter at Home: A Time to Pause, Reflect, and Reconnect
In the middle of our fast-paced lives, Easter offers something rare—a moment to pause. Whether you’re gathering with family, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet long weekend at home, this time of year invites us to slow down and reconnect with what matters most. At RealWay, we know that home isn’t defined by how many people live there. It’s defined by the life you build inside it. For some, it’s a bustling family hub filled with Easter egg hunts and shared traditions. For others, it’s a peaceful space to unwind, recharge, and breathe a little deeper after a busy start to the year. We see homes in all shapes, sizes and stories—and we know how much they mean to the people who live in them. A sunny balcony for morning coffee. A quiet study nook for late-night projects. A backyard for entertaining, or a city apartment close to work and weekend markets. No matter the lifestyle, your home should reflect you. Easter also reminds us that change can be a good thing. It’s a season of fresh starts and new chapters—whether you're thinking about upsizing, downsizing, investing, or simply dreaming about the next move. So, as the leaves start to turn and the air gets that crisp autumn feel, we hope you find a little time this Easter to enjoy your space, rest your mind, and make plans for what’s next. From all of us at RealWay, have a safe, happy and well-earned break—whatever that looks like for you.And hopefully, the Easter Bunny finds you too... and spreads plenty of chocolatey goodness your way!...
Navigating Australia's Rental Crisis: Challenges and Opportunities
Australia's rental market has reached unprecedented levels of unaffordability, creating financial strain across a broad spectrum of income earners. Recent reports indicate that Australians now require an annual income of $130,000 to comfortably afford the national average unit rent of $566 per week. This alarming reality highlights the growing challenges within the housing sector. The Growing Burden of Rental Stress Rental stress—defined as spending more than 30% of one's income on housing—now affects more than just low-income households. Individuals earning $100,000 annually are allocating approximately 38% of their income to rent, while those earning $70,000 may be spending over 50%. This imbalance underscores the widening gap between income growth and soaring rental prices. Key Drivers of the Crisis Several factors have contributed to Australia's deepening rental affordability crisis: Housing Supply Shortages: Australia is projected to fall short of its housing targets by 462,000 homes in capital cities by 2029, intensifying competition and pushing rents higher. Wage Growth Lagging Behind Costs: While rental prices have surged by 48% since pre-pandemic times, average household incomes have only increased by 19%, making it harder for Australians to keep up with rising living expenses. Ways to Ease Rental Pressures Despite the challenges, there are strategies individuals can explore to alleviate rental costs: House-Sharing: Splitting housing expenses with housemates can significantly reduce the financial burden of rent and utilities. Government Assistance: Checking eligibility for programs such as Commonwealth Rent Assistance can provide much-needed financial support for those struggling with affordability. Flexible Location Choices: Considering homes in outer suburban areas or regions with lower rental prices may offer more affordable housing options. Advocacy for Housing Reform: Supporting initiatives that increase the supply of affordable housing and reviewing tax incentives for investors can drive long-term improvements in the rental market. Property Investment: A Strategic Opportunity While the current market presents challenges for renters, it also highlights the resilience and value of property investment. Those in a position to invest in housing can benefit from continued rental demand, strong yields, and long-term capital growth. As supply remains constrained, well-positioned investors have an opportunity to secure assets that will likely appreciate in value over time. RealWay is Here to Support You Navigating the real estate market—whether renting, buying, or selling—can be complex. At RealWay, we’re committed to helping you through every stage of your property journey. Whether you’re searching for a rental, looking to invest, or planning to buy or sell, our experienced team is here to guide you.

The Benefits of Investing in NDIS Property
The demand for specialist disability accommodation (SDA) in Australia is rising, driven by the growing needs of the 3.96 million Australians living with a disability. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) aims to address this challenge by incentivizing property investors to build much-needed accessible housing. With government-backed funding, investing in SDA properties provides not only a steady income but also contributes to improving the quality of life for people with disabilities. For investors, this presents a unique opportunity to achieve high rental yields while making a meaningful impact. Why Invest in NDIS Property? High Rental Yields & Secure Income One of the key benefits of SDA investment is the potential for high returns. Investors can achieve rental yields of up to 16%, significantly outperforming traditional property investments. These returns are backed by long-term government funding, ensuring a secure income stream. Consistent Tenant Demand The demand for SDA far exceeds supply, meaning vacancy risks are minimal. Many individuals with disabilities struggle to find suitable housing, with some even residing in aged care facilities due to the lack of options. Investing in SDA property ensures a steady stream of tenants who require accessible living spaces. Government-Backed & CPI-Linked Returns SDA rental payments are indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), ensuring your rental income keeps pace with inflation. Additionally, the government provides long-term funding for SDA housing, reinforcing its financial viability as an investment strategy. Ethical & Impactful Investment Beyond financial gains, SDA investment contributes to social impact by enhancing the independence and quality of life for NDIS participants. Investors play a key role in bridging the gap in accessible housing, making it an investment with both financial and ethical rewards. How to Invest in SDA Property Yannick Ieko, Founder and Managing Director of NDIS Loan Experts, outlines three main ways investors can enter the SDA market: Purchase and Modify a Property – Investors can buy an existing property and renovate it to meet SDA compliance standards. However, this approach requires significant financial outlay and must meet strict requirements to qualify under the NDIS scheme. Buy an Existing SDA-Approved Property – Some properties are already built and approved for SDA tenants. These are typically in high demand and are sought after by investors, real estate agents, and institutional buyers. House and Land Package – The most common approach for retail investors involves purchasing land in an SDA-approved location and constructing a compliant dwelling. This allows for custom-built designs to meet NDIS standards while maximizing rental income. How to Find NDIS Tenants Finding tenants for SDA properties is a straightforward process due to the high demand. The NDIS operates on a broad market approach, meaning participants actively seek out available properties through two primary channels: Direct Search – Tenants find properties through real estate listings and SDA-specific platforms. NDIS Service Providers – Organizations lease entire properties and rent out rooms to NDIS participants, ensuring full occupancy and easy management for investors. With increasing government support, strong rental yields, and minimal vacancy risks, SDA property investment presents a compelling opportunity in today’s market. Investors not only benefit financially but also contribute to a meaningful cause—helping to provide safe, comfortable, and accessible housing for Australians with disabilities. If you’re considering investing in SDA property, now is the time to explore this rewarding sector. With the right strategy and expert guidance, you can secure a high-return investment while making a positive impact on the community....
