    Ep. 186: The Property Market Has Turned

    Australia's property market may have just entered a completely new phase. In this week's episode of The Weekly Investor News, Owen Davis and Nick Bendel unpack three major stories that suggest the market is losing momentum after years of strong growth. First, they discuss a bold prediction from finance journalist Alan Kohler that recent government policy changes could leave property prices flat for years to come. Is housing affordability finally improving, or are we creating a whole new set of problems? They also examine fresh data showing that national property price growth has stalled, with Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra already experiencing declines while other capital cities begin to lose momentum. And finally, they dive into a sharp increase in property listings and distressed sales across several states. Is this simply normal market behavior, or the first sign of a broader market correction? Whether you're an investor, landlord, homeowner or aspiring buyer, this episode provides a clear, no-nonsense look at where the market may be heading next. Follow the hosts!

    Ep. 185: Negative Gearing Just CHANGED

    Australia’s property investment landscape may have changed forever. In this week’s episode of The Weekly Investor News, Owen Davis and Nick Bendel unpack the biggest Federal Budget announcements affecting property investors — including major changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax. The big question: Will these changes actually help first-home buyers… or simply create new problems for the housing market? In this episode, we break down: 🏠 Negative gearing restricted to new builds — what this means for future investors 💰 The government’s overhaul of Capital Gains Tax and why it could hit investors hard 📉 Whether these changes will really improve affordability 📊 Why supply — not tax settings — remains the real driver of property prices 🏛️ Jim Chalmers’ budget claims put under the microscope 📈 What all of this means for investor strategy moving forward Owen gives his straight-talking take on why these changes may do little to help first-home buyers, while potentially pushing more pressure onto an already undersupplied housing market. If you’re a property investor, landlord, buyer’s agent or market watcher, this is an essential episode to understand what these budget reforms could mean for your next move. Follow the hosts!
