Elders Estates

The Elders team is pleased to present the May edition of Estates Magazine.

The new American administration has created some major disruptions to the world trading regime, and financial markets have responded with increased volatility. The intent seems to be to reweight trade in favour of the US, whether this will be achieved, what the long-term impacts are, and how long it will take are unknown.

Australia has been treated generally favourably. This is partly due to its strong relationship with the US, but it is likely to be more the result of Australia’s relatively free and open trading relationship with the rest of the world, including the US. We have very few Government policies that are trade distorting. Our country is heavily reliant on exporting what we produce as we are a small population producing far more commodities than we can consume. Our exporters must compete in international markets with little if any Government support.

As a result, Australia is seen as a reliable supplier of high-quality commodity and products, free of the risk of changes to domestic Government policies. This is particularly true for our agricultural products. Many people around the world are reliant on the crops and livestock we produce.

Australian agricultural land is seen as generally capital secure, long-term store of wealth, producing a competitive rate of return. Our land values are not exposed to significant changes in Australia Government support or trade interventions.

This makes Australia an attractive investment option for international and Australian based investors. This edition of Estates shows the diversity of opportunities available in Australia.

Our agents tailor every campaign to maximise awareness of the property but also invest heavily in ensuring each of the most prospective buyers, domestic and international, are engaged directly. Our extensive knowledge of the local, regional and national markets ensures that all sectors of the market are canvassed. We tailor our engagement with the market based on our knowledge of a prospective buyer’s interests and opportunity the property presents for them.
