With Australia’s housing crisis putting pressure on both rental markets and property prices, the conversation around smart property investment strategies has never been more relevant. Savvy investors are looking for solutions that balance stability, growth, and future potential.
New house and land packages offer an attractive pathway into the property market for both new and seasoned investors. At ALC, we’re seeing increased interest across Queensland and interstate – particularly in fast-growing areas where affordable land, strong infrastructure and rising demand are coming together to create a compelling investment case.
Here are five powerful reasons to recommend a house and land investment to your clients:
1. Strong Rental Demand and Consistent Cash Flow
As the rental crisis deepens, tenants are on the lookout for modern, well-located homes – especially in areas offering a balance between lifestyle and affordability. New house and land packages in high-growth suburbs are in high demand, meaning investors can typically expect strong occupancy rates and reliable rental income.
In places like Jimboomba, just 40 minutes from Brisbane, demand is growing for family-sized homes in new estates with green space, schools, and local amenities. ALC’s stock in Elridge Estate is positioned to meet this demand, offering investors the chance to generate immediate cash flow with minimal vacancy risk.
Over time, as mortgage repayments reduce and rental income increases, clients can enjoy healthier passive income – providing greater financial flexibility and peace of mind.
2. Capital Growth and Equity Building
One of the key long-term benefits of real estate investment is capital growth. When clients invest in new housing located in areas with planned infrastructure upgrades, new schools, shopping centres or transport links, they position themselves for solid appreciation over time.
Properties in emerging corridors in South East Queensland and other regional hubs across Australia are seeing strong growth as buyers and renters look beyond inner-city suburbs. Investors who buy early in these areas can benefit from increasing demand and rising property values – leading to significant equity gains that can be leveraged for further investment. That’s equity your clients can use to refinance and replicate the process with a second investment. Kind of like Monopoly, but with better landscaping.
Properties in fast-growing locations are already seeing gains, and ALC’s stock is positioned to ride that wave – with room still left on the board for early movers.
3. Government Incentives and Tax Benefits
A major drawcard of house and land packages is their eligibility for a range of government incentives – particularly for first-time buyers or investors building new homes. These may include:
- Depreciation deductions on new builds
- Reduced stamp duty (depending on the state)
- First Home Owner Grants (for owner-occupiers)
- Potential concessions or rebates through local councils
From a tax perspective, new properties also offer substantial depreciation benefits – with investors able to claim deductions on the building structure and fittings, often for up to 40 years. These deductions can significantly reduce taxable income, helping improve the overall return on investment.
And because ALC Projects operates across multiple states, we can help you pinpoint which incentives your clients might be eligible for – without making you read the entire ATO website.
4. Low Maintenance, High Appeal
Old houses may have “character,” but they also have leaking taps, dodgy wiring, and air conditioners from the ‘90s. New builds? Not so much.
Newly built homes come with the bonus of lower maintenance costs and builder warranties – making them an attractive option for time-poor investors who want minimal surprises. Unlike older properties that may require significant repairs or upgrades, new house and land packages are turnkey investments that deliver from day one.
Today’s tenants are also seeking energy-efficient, modern homes that suit their lifestyle – think open-plan living, quality appliances, NBN connectivity, and outdoor entertaining areas. Homes in ALC’s portfolio, are designed to meet these expectations, which means they attract longer-term tenants and reduce ongoing management headaches.
Less maintenance, better tenant retention, and fewer vacancy gaps? That’s a win on all fronts.
5. A Future-Focused Investment in a Changing Market
House and land packages offer the kind of flexibility modern lifestyles demand. Whether it’s a quiet study nook for WFH days, an extra living space for the kids (or the in-laws), or just the freedom to grow into the home over time, new builds provide a future-ready foundation. Unlike older properties that often need a full-scale renovation to meet modern needs, new homes are designed with contemporary living in mind – from smarter layouts to energy efficiency and low-maintenance materials.
As Australia’s population grows and household structures evolve, the demand for diverse housing solutions is on the rise. While traditional family homes remain popular, we’re also seeing increased appetite for more flexible living arrangements – from multi-generational homes to co-living models.
Although we’ll be revealing more in July, ALC is already planning for this shift with new product offerings that respond to this demand – and how investors can meet that need.
Clients who get in early on these trends will be better positioned to benefit from long-term rental demand, higher yields and stronger exit strategies.
