The government’s housing reforms assume investors will simply redirect from established property into new builds, but that assumption misunderstands how investors actually think. In this video, we break down why tax incentives are rarely the main driver of investment decisions. Most investors focus on capital growth, scarcity, owner-occupier appeal, and proven demand, not just deductions. We look at why established property has historically outperformed, why construction delays and oversupply risk make many investors wary of new builds, and why some may simply step back rather than redirect.

Australia’s housing debate keeps circling back to tax policy, negative gearing, capital gains tax, investor incentives, but these changes sit around the edges of the real problem.

From under-building and population growth to planning delays, infrastructure lag, and rising construction costs, these are structural issues that no tax tweak can fix. We look at why discouraging investors won’t solve affordability, and why only materially increasing housing supply will. Book a strategy session. If you’ve enjoyed this video then you might like to
