Why the 2026 budget could make Australia’s housing crisis worse

The government reckons it’s fixing housing. Kate’s not so sure. The 2026 federal budget has a lot to say about property — negative gearing, CGT, pushing investors into new builds. On paper it sounds reasonable. But when you look at how the market actually works? It starts to fall apart pretty quickly. Kate breaks it all down covering what the policy actually does, why investors won’t just “redirect” to new builds, what happens to renters when supply dries up, and who ends up footing the bill. Ready to build your portfolio the right way? Call Kate and let’s get strategic. […]

Low property stock levels drive markets in Australia

By Kate Hill

Australia’s property market is facing a significant challenge: a notable decline in property stock levels. According to recent data, the number of homes available for purchase or rent has drastically decreased, intensifying the housing crisis.

Source: ABC, Australia’s housing crisis in 10 graphs, from the federal budget, 15 May 2024. The total value of residential dwellings in Australia has risen dramatically, and this surge is partly due to the low stock levels.
