In this episode, we cover: ✅What the proposed negative gearing changes actually mean for Australian property investors✅How the capital gains tax changes could affect long-term property returns✅Why the Perth property market and WA property market could stay highly competitive✅Which price brackets may outperform in the next phase (this might surprise you)✅What factors may become even more valuable in the Perth property market over the coming years✅How policy risk, buffers, structuring, and professional advice are becoming more important Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:02:50 Capital gains shake-up00:04:45 Migration meets housing shortage00:08:50 Building industry under pressure00:12:10 Property prices fragment00:15:10 First home buyer boom00:19:10 High-end market cools00:21:10 Smart investor playbook00:25:40 Active value-add plays00:29:10 The decade ahead If you want to know how to position yourself before the rest of the market wakes up, hit play and take notes. - Resource Link • Would you like to get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

Punishing Investors Won’t Fix Housing. This Will.

Australia's housing crisis is caused by property investors, right? Wrong! It's caused by a broken system that makes building new homes unfeasible. Most fixes you hear about for the Australian housing market focus on punishing property investors or capping ownership. While these options sound "fair" on the surface, the truth is they create zero new homes. The real bottleneck in Perth's housing supply is that the numbers don't stack up for anyone building. In this episode of The Perth Property Insider Podcast, I'm sharing what a smarter approach to Perth property, and the wider Australian housing market, looks like. Plus, I cover the three ways housing supply actually gets created and some of the policy mistakes pushing Perth property prices higher. You'll also hear why construction productivity has stalled for decades, how cheaper finance could unlock thousands of new dwellings, and why everyday Perth homeowners could become the next wave of property investors if lending caught up. Tune in to discover ✅ Why taxing property investors doesn't increase housing supply in Australia✅ The real reason Perth property developers aren't building right now✅ The hidden impact of construction costs, taxes, and finance on the property market✅ Why policies like the first home buyer deposit scheme can backfire✅ The untapped potential of infill development, granny flats, and subdivisions in Perth✅ How governments and property investors can partner to boost Australian housing supply✅ Why the current Perth property market could offer a short-term buying opportunity Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:01:00 The Investor Blame Game00:02:20 How Supply Gets Created00:04:40 The 5% Deposit Mistake00:07:40 Cut Taxes On Housing00:10:40 Fund The Infrastructure00:13:40 Partner With Investors00:17:00 Why Nothing Changes00:19:20 Your Next Move - Resource Link • Take our Property Investor Readiness Scorecard to uncover your blind spots and make smarter investment decisions before you buy: https://investorsedge.scoreapp.com/• View upcoming property investor webinars, events, and networking sessions: https://www.investorsedge.com.au/events/ • Thinking of selling?
