    Perth's Rental Market Is Shifting | What You Must Know with Breanna Ridge-Singh

    Treasury says the budget's tax changes will add just $2 a week to rents. The property industry says something completely different. In this episode, Michael Killiner sits down with Bree Ridge-Singh, Director of Property Management at Ray White Dalkeith, Claremont and Fremantle, to cut through the media noise and explain what's really happening on the ground in Perth's rental market. With over a decade in the industry, Bree unpacks why the market is turning, why investors have largely stepped back since the budget, where renters and new migrants are actually ending up, and the Airbnb shift that's quietly tightening supply. She also shares exactly what she looks for in an investment property, how she thinks about rent rises and keeping good tenants, and her honest read on where the next 12 months are heading. Essential listening for builders, buyers, and investors who want to understand what's really happening in the WA property market. 🔔 Subscribe and leave a comment with your questions -- we build episodes around what YOU want to know. General advice only and not personal advice. CRN 485467 ------------------------------------------------------------ In this episode: • The media's doom narrative is overblown for Perth. Values are easing (down roughly 3% from the April peak), but the dramatic falls seen over east are not rippling through Perth at the same levels. Finding local, on-the-ground operators is how you cut through the noise. • Investor activity has largely dried up since the May budget. Bree is seeing almost no new landlords buying in; instead, mum-and-dad owners are holding and converting existing homes to rentals rather than selling into a soft market. • Rentals now have to be near perfect to lease. With tenants cautious, properties need aircon, security and inclusions like pool servicing or a gardener, and pricing right matters more than ever as vacancies tick up and home-open numbers fall. • The script has flipped on where investors buy. Perth owners are increasingly using their equity to buy interstate (Melbourne, Hobart, Darwin) for yield and affordability, pulling demand out of the local investment market. ------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@ThatBackyardPropertyPodcast⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/backyardpropertypod?igsh=MWhkOWx5YzJxdDc3ag==⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://tuskfinance.com.au⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Michael: Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/tuskfinancemk⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/mortgageswmichael⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠https://linkedin.com/in/michaelkilliner⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/@backyardpropertypodcast⁠⁠⁠ Tusk Finance: ⁠⁠⁠broker@tuskfinance.com.au⁠⁠⁠ ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapters: (0:00) Introduction & Why the Rental Market Is Turning (1:26) Cutting Through the Media Noise: Perth vs the Eastern States (2:40) What's Changed Since the Budget: Why Buyers Are Sitting on Their Hands (4:42) Where Have All the New Landlords Gone?

    The One Question Every First Home Buyer Must Ask First

    First home buyers have never had more help: a 5% deposit scheme with no income test, no stamp duty in WA up to $600K, and the investors who used to outbid you stepping back after the budget. But it's all arriving in a falling market. In this mini episode, Michael breaks down the one question to ask before any scheme, runs the real rent versus buy numbers on a Perth villa, and gives his honest take on whether to buy now or wait. 🔔 Subscribe and leave a comment with your questions -- we build episodes around what YOU want to know. General advice only and not personal advice. CRN 485467 ------------------------------------------------------------ In this episode: • First home buyers have never had more support: the 5% deposit scheme has no income test, no cap on places and no LMI, and WA first home buyers pay no stamp duty up to $600K. The catch is that it's all landing in a falling market. • The asset matters more than the scheme. Before looking at any grant, ask who buys this property from you when you sell. Owner-occupier appeal drives long-term value, so aim for a home the next family would compete for. • In a real Perth example (a $600K villa), owning costs roughly $238 a week more than renting in year one. But Perth's higher rents relative to prices make that gap far smaller than in Sydney, which is a real advantage for local buyers. • Perth's median house price (around $980K in the June quarter) now sits above the scheme's $850K cap, so the scheme tends to nudge buyers toward units, townhouses or outer suburbs, exactly where asset quality matters most. • A 5% deposit in a falling market is risky. If values drop 3%, most of your paper equity is gone. That's fine if you hold, but a problem if you sell. • Don't try to time the RBA. Buy on the asset and your budget, not the rate call, and always keep a buffer on the other side of settlement. Perth listings have passed 7,000 for the first time in over three years, meaning more choice and more room to negotiate. ------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@ThatBackyardPropertyPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/backyardpropertypod?igsh=MWhkOWx5YzJxdDc3ag==⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tuskfinance.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Michael: Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/tuskfinancemk⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/mortgageswmichael⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linkedin.com/in/michaelkilliner⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/@backyardpropertypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tusk Finance: ⁠⁠⁠⁠broker@tuskfinance.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapters: (0:00) 4 Things First Home Buyers Need to Know (1:19) Why First Home Buyers Have Never Had More Help (2:00) The Catch: Buying Into a Falling Market (2:40) The One Question to Ask Before Any Scheme (3:32) A Real Perth Example: What Owning Actually Costs (4:24) Rent vs Buy & the Perth Twist (6:00) The Perth Problem: When the Median Beats the Cap (6:56) Every Scheme & Grant on the Table Right Now (8:31) The Mistakes First Home Buyers Make Most (9:36) Buy Now or Wait?

    The RBA Just Hiked Again: 4 Things You Need to Know with Michael Killiner

    The RBA just lifted the cash rate to 4.6%, the fourth rise this year, and it did it five days after the job numbers came in soft. In this mini episode, Michael breaks down why the RBA hiked into a cooling labour market, why inflation still won't budge, and what an extra $380 a month really means for a Perth household with a mortgage. 🔔 Subscribe and leave a comment with your questions -- we build episodes around what YOU want to know. General advice only and not personal advice. CRN 485467 ------------------------------------------------------------ In this episode: • The RBA lifted the cash rate to 4.6% — the fourth rise this year and the highest level since 2011 — a full percentage point higher than where the year started, nine months ago. • Unemployment has risen to 4.6% (its highest since 2021), but this hit the RBA's own end of-year forecast early. The hike is the plan arriving ahead of schedule, not the jobs market breaking it. Notably, nearly all new jobs were part-time while full-time roles fell. • Inflation is stuck at 3.6%, above the 2–3% target, for four reasons: an economy running near capacity, flat productivity, Middle East fuel costs flowing into everyday prices, and booming AI-related demand pushing up global tech prices. • Government spending sits at roughly $830 billion (over a quarter of the economy), driven largely by an ageing population and rising NDIS, health, aged care and debt-interest costs. Bullock's framing: public or private, it all adds to demand. • With around four in five Australian home loans on variable rates, hikes reach household budgets within about three months, which is why rate rises cool the economy so fast. A Perth couple with a $600K loan is now paying roughly $380 more per month than in January. • APRA data shows borrowers are coping — arrears are lower than a year ago and about $340 billion sits in offsets — but interest-only lending is at its highest share since 2019. Three key data dates land before the RBA's 3 November meeting. ------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@ThatBackyardPropertyPodcast⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/backyardpropertypod?igsh=MWhkOWx5YzJxdDc3ag==⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://tuskfinance.com.au⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Michael: Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/tuskfinancemk⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/mortgageswmichael⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠https://linkedin.com/in/michaelkilliner⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/@backyardpropertypodcast⁠⁠⁠ Tusk Finance: ⁠⁠⁠broker@tuskfinance.com.au⁠⁠⁠ ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapters: (0:00) 4 Things to Know About the RBA's Latest Rate Rise (1:17) What Happened & the Timing Behind the Hike (3:15) Are More Rate Rises Coming?

    Why Perth Can't Build Fast Enough with Michael McGowan

    Michael Killiner sits down with Michael McGowan, Executive Director of Housing Industry Association of WA, for one of the most in-depth conversations we've had on what's really driving Perth's housing crisis. With 50,000 to 60,000 new residents arriving in WA every year and only around 20,000 homes being completed, the supply gap is real, structural, and widening. Michael McGowan unpacks the full picture: land supply constraints, the skilled trades shortage, the COVID HomeBuilder grant legacy, and why changes to CGT and negative gearing have drained investor confidence at exactly the wrong time. They also dig into WA's R Codes reform, what R20 upzoning means for property owners and investors across Perth's middle ring, and why stamp duty remains one of the biggest hidden barriers to housing mobility in Australia. Essential listening for builders, buyers, and investors who want to understand what's really happening in the WA property market. 🔔 Subscribe and leave a comment with your questions -- we build episodes around what YOU want to know. General advice only and not personal advice. CRN 485467 ------------------------------------------------------------ In this episode: • Perth is receiving 50,000–60,000 new residents per year but only completing around 20,000 homes annually. The supply gap is structural and severe. • WA's skilled labour shortage is acute: only 4,500 of 9,000 annual construction apprentices are in building trades. Skilled migration from South East Asia, Europe, the UK and South Africa is now critical. • Changes to CGT and negative gearing have damaged investor confidence and constrained rental supply at exactly the wrong time. HIA WA advocates for reversal. • WA's R Codes reform will upzone R20 land across Perth's 5–20km ring, opening up areas like Vic Park, Mount Lawley and Belmont for density. • Stamp duty is one of the biggest barriers to housing mobility, particularly for older Australians wanting to downsize. • Building a home in WA carries approximately 35% in fees and charges. Modular construction (currently 5–8% of WA volume) and GST reform on new builds are two underutilised levers for affordability. ------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe: ⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@ThatBackyardPropertyPodcast⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠https://instagram.com/backyardpropertypod?igsh=MWhkOWx5YzJxdDc3ag==⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠https://tuskfinance.com.au⁠⁠ Connect with Michael: Facebook: ⁠⁠https://facebook.com/tuskfinancemk⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠https://instagram.com/mortgageswmichael⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠https://linkedin.com/in/michaelkilliner⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/@backyardpropertypodcast⁠⁠ Tusk Finance: ⁠⁠broker@tuskfinance.com.au⁠⁠ ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapters: (0:00) Introduction & Episode Overview (1:37) Perth's Housing Crisis (3:50) Land Supply & Growth Corridors (5:57) Skilled Trades Shortage (7:40) Is the Australian Dream Changing?
