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

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. […]

The Role of Short-Term Rentals in Australia’s Property Crisis

By Kate Hill

Australia’s property market is facing unprecedented challenges, with housing affordability deteriorating and rental availability shrinking. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reported that the national average new mortgage size reached a record high of $624,383 in December 2023. Concurrently, national rent averages soared to $600 per week in the June quarter, with capital cities averaging $640 and regional areas $540. These alarming figures are compounded by a critically low rental vacancy rate of 1.4%, down from the pre-pandemic norm of 2.5%. In this context, the role of short-term rental companies like Airbnb has come under scrutiny. Critics argue that these

Negative gearing becomes political football… yet again!

By Kate Hill

In a move that surprises absolutely no one, the Australian Greens have started kicking around the negative gearing football again in a misguided attempt to win votes with their constituents. They did the same last year when they tried to strong-arm the Federal Government into somehow instigating rental freezes even though the government has no jurisdiction in state-based residential tenancy matters. They didn’t win that fight either. Now, I’m not here to disparage or promote any particular political party, but I do want to explain what negative gearing is and what it isn’t – and also why fiddling with the
