More freedom, less space: These Australians share what living in a tiny house is like

 The death of Amy's father six years ago spurred her on to make some big life choices.

If you had told her she would soon be packing up their four-bedroom rental house and moving into a tiny home with Greg, her husband, and their two small children, Amy would have laughed.

"I would have said it's not practical … But I would've been so wrong," she says. 

But the death of her father was the starting point.

The Future of Retail Space In Australia Commercial Property Market

Image
 Hey people, I have been working in the retail industry for years. The sector used to be a thriving part of the Australian economy until we had to suffer the COVID-19 pandemic impact. It was much worse for retail than industrial and office commercial properties. Many small businesses closed and others had to rely on government’s help to remain in business.

Property investors hit by land tax change plan to sell or pass on costs to renters

Image
 Property investors affected by a change to Queensland’s land tax are considering selling out of the market or passing on the extra cost to renters, industry groups say. Anyone who owns investment property in Queensland will soon have the total value of their Australian investment land assessed for land tax purposes. The move to include interstate holdings will start from June 30 next year, a move the state opposition branded “unworkable”. Other experts say the change would rebalance an overheated property market that favours investors over owner-occupiers and renters, while the state government has called the reform “prudent”.
