    Australia's Next Housing Crisis Has Already Started

    Most Australians think the housing crisis is still building. George Markoski points out in this episode of the Positive Property Show is that the next wave has already arrived, and the combination of forces now pressing on the market simultaneously is unlike anything seen before. Australia is growing faster than any government projection anticipated, adding demand to a rental market that is already at breaking point and a construction industry being pushed toward insolvency by surging oil-related build costs. The gap between housing supply and the number of people who need homes is not closing. It is widening every month. In this episode: Why Australia hitting 28 million people 25 years ahead of the ABS forecast is the single most important number in the housing market right now, and what it means for demand across every major city. The rent crisis in numbers: 5.9% annual growth, a third of pre-tax income going to rent, vacancy rates at 1.5%, and renters forming group households to manage costs that are still rising. How the Middle East oil conflict is pushing more builders into insolvency on fixed-price contracts that were signed before costs spiked. The inflation rat wheel: the 6% minimum wage rise and 4.75% increase for 2.8 million workers will feed directly into higher prices, and why wage growth and inflation are chasing each other in a cycle the RBA has no clean tool to break.     About Positive Property: Positive Property has been empowering Australians to build financial freedom through strategic property investment for over 20 years.

    The Great Australian Dream is DEAD

    Home ownership is collapsing, the middle class is getting crushed, and the property market is being hit from three directions at once. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski breaks down every pressure driving the current correction and explain why the investors who stay educated and strategic are about to move into their best buying window in years. George also previews next week's full presentation covering 40 years of Australian property crisis data, including exactly what his clients made or lost through the GFC, the dot-com crash, and every correction since. This episode sets up that argument by explaining the structural floor on property prices: construction costs have risen so dramatically since 2020 that sentiment alone cannot push existing property values below replacement cost. In this episode: The three-pronged pressure hitting the Australian property market right now: rate hikes, federal budget tax changes, and bank credit tightening all landing at the same time Why real wages are forecast to bottom at March 2010 levels by September 2026, and what this means for the long-term case for owning assets rather than earning wages. Why the global QE cycle is starting again with the US printing $5 billion per day, how every other central bank will follow, and what that historically does to property prices in Australia. The AI employment risk breakdown: routine white-collar roles, admin, clerical, and data processing are at very high risk, while skilled trades face almost no displacement How the GFC, which saw some properties fall 50%, resulted in George's clients making money because they were in the right locations with the right strategy. Why Brisbane remains 30% cheaper than Sydney at a median of $1 million versus $1.4 million Positive Property member win: Ben and Steph Cross from Brisbane settled two properties in 18 months. Ben was a FIFO earth mover living in hotels and Airbnbs between rosters before joining Positive Property. His words: "Probably one of the best things I've done."

    The War on Property Investors Has Begun

    The federal budget has permanently changed the rules of property investing in Australia, and most investors still do not fully understand what just happened. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski goes through every major change in detail, explain the 12-month window that is now open before July 1, 2027, and lay out exactly which strategies win and which are now dead. In this episode: The full CGT change explained: the 50% discount is gone for established properties, replaced with a cost-based indexed inflation adjustment and a 30% minimum tax on real gains Why negative gearing restricted to new builds is actually a significant advantage for investors already using the Positive Property strategy How Macquarie's policy change on May 16 is the first sign that banks are already repricing the risk of established property investment, and why other lenders are expected to follow within weeks. Why dual key, NDIS, and rooming house strategies are now effectively dead as investment vehicles The two-speed market: Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth are still running at 7 to 9 o'clock on George's property clock. Melbourne and Sydney are at 1 to 3 in the morning. Within those cities, there are still individual suburbs at 6 and 7 that represent genuine opportunity. Why the super-rich never sell, and why using equity rather than selling is the strategy that sidesteps CGT entirely regardless of what the government does next. Why George believes the affordable end of the market, well-priced properties in genuine demand locations, will not follow any broader price softening because first home buyers will always fill that gap. Positive Property member win: Jeremy Bagdadlian found Positive Property on Facebook a year ago, sold an underperforming Victorian property to free up capital, and bought in Beaudesert for $364,000, and has now seen a profit of $201,000 in 12 months.

    This Is Why Aussies Can't Afford to Build a Home Anymore (And It Is About to Get Much Worse)

    Things feel more expensive right now because they are, and it is not going to reverse. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and co-host Charmaine Adams go through the data behind what is driving costs higher across every corner of the economy, why this is a structural shift rather than a temporary spike, and why the housing crisis narrative in the media is telling investors exactly the wrong story. In this episode: Why the cheap world is over: global trade routes are becoming more expensive, energy shocks are disrupting supply chains, and long-standing trade alliances are breaking down. The construction data in full: build costs up 74% since 2019, 300 builders going broke per quarter, construction productivity down 12% over 30 years, and a second wave of cost increases loading right now Why every $10,000 rise in build costs adds $40,000 to the purchase price of a new property, and what that means for anyone waiting to buy at a lower entry point. The NDIS expansion that nobody is talking about Why the media's housing crisis narrative is the most reliable wealth signal available to property investors Positive Property member win: Sharon and Greg from Sydney who now have three properties, a fourth property on the way, and a goal of 10 properties by retirement on a train driver's income.

    Is Australian Property a Bubble or the Biggest Opportunity of 2026

    Is Australian property in a bubble? It is one of the most searched questions in personal finance right now and one of the least honestly answered. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and Christina Markoski debate both sides of the argument, go through a national sentiment survey on what Australians actually believe about housing and money, and update the construction picture for investors trying to make sense of where the market is heading. George's central argument on the bubble question: property prices being at record highs is not evidence of a bubble. You could say the same thing about prices in any decade of Australian history, and about the stock market too. What is actually driving prices is inflation combined with a structural supply shortage against a backdrop of 3,000 new arrivals per day. A bubble implies unsustainable demand propped up by speculation. Australia's demand is structural and growing, not speculative. The national survey results are the most revealing part of this episode. One in three Australians is now avoiding the doctor because they cannot afford it. Thirty-four percent say they need between $100,000 and $150,000 just to get by. Twenty-one percent believe you need to earn over $450,000 per year to be considered rich. The housing crisis is the number one cultural concern in the country at 24%, ahead of domestic violence and every other issue surveyed. And 76% of Australians say they should get to keep more of what they earn. In this episode: Why stopping Australian property growth for five years would require stopping immigration for five years, and why that is structurally impossible under current policy settings. The national survey breakdown: what Australians actually think about the cost of living, housing affordability, income needed to get by, what counts as rich, tax honesty, and the Australian dream of home ownership. Why the construction industry is heading into a second wave of cost increases larger than 2022 George's view on Melbourne: the market is in winter right now, but the price-to-fundamentals gap means spring is coming, and patient investors buying now could be well positioned when it arrives. Why buying an investment property and holding through uncertainty has consistently outperformed waiting for the perfect entry point, illustrated by the construction cost data from 2020 to now. Positive Property member win: Tristan found Positive Property on TikTok, sold an underperforming apartment to free up equity, and built $296,000 in property profit across two properties in under 12 months.  About Positive Property Positive Property has been empowering Australians to build financial freedom through strategic property investment for over 20 years.

    Australia 2026: The Housing Crisis No Budget Can Fix

    Australia's housing crisis is accelerating and the 2026 Federal Budget may have just made it worse. In this episode, George Markoski and Christina Markoski break down the Australian property market, housing affordability crisis, rising rents, inflation, migration, interest rates, and the economic policies shaping real estate in 2026. While politicians promise affordability, the numbers tell a very different story. George explains: • Why Australia's housing shortage is deepening • How the 2026 Federal Budget impacts investors and homeowners • Why rents and property prices continue rising • The real consequences of anti-investor policy • What's happening with inflation, construction costs, and housing supply • Why this crisis cannot be solved without dramatically increasing new housing stock The episode also features a real client case study with Stephen and Nikki, sharing how they built their property portfolio, navigated the market, and changed their financial future through property investing. If you want to understand where the Australian housing market is heading next and what experienced investors are doing in this environment, this episode is essential listening.

    Australia's 2026 Federal Budget & How to Protect Your Investment Property

    The Federal Budget is due to be announced tomorrow, and for property investors the next few days matter more than most people realise. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, streamed live the week before the Federal Budget release, George Markoski and mortgage broker Carmine Alvero from Wealth Street go through what the budget changes mean for investors, how grandfathering has worked in past policy changes, and what the broader economic picture looks like for anyone buying or holding property right now. George's central argument: governments typically grandfather rule changes based on the date of sale, not the date of settlement. Investors who signed contracts ahead of budget day may have already protected up to $80,000 in negative gearing tax advantages and the existing CGT discount, even on properties not settling for another year or two. If you have not yet signed, this episode explains exactly what you are navigating. The macro picture George covers is equally significant. The RBA sits at a 15-year high of 4.35% with markets pricing in further rises to 4.6% to 4.85% by end of 2026. Oil is forecast toward $140 per barrel if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed. The US Federal Reserve has entered a quantitative easing cycle, printing $5 billion per day. And inflation is destroying purchasing power at a rate most Australians have not properly calculated: $100 today will be worth just $10 in 50 years. In this episode: Grandfathering explained: why the date of sale, not the date of settlement, is what typically matters Inflation reality check: working hard and saving is not a wealth strategy when inflation is destroying 4 to 5% of your purchasing power every year The shift from FOMO to FOOP (fear of overpaying) How APRA serviceability buffers work, why some lenders use a 3% buffer and others use 1 to 2%, and how to use that difference to unlock higher borrowing capacity Why the US Federal Reserve printing $5 billion per day signals the start of a new quantitative easing cycle, and what that has historically meant for Australian property prices. How an internal tax withholding variation (ITWV) returns your depreciation benefits weekly rather than annually, and why that timing difference has a real dollar value given current inflation levels.     Positive Property has been empowering Australians to build financial freedom through strategic property investment for over 20 years.

    How to Save Money on Your Mortgage Right Now

    With rates elevated and household budgets stretched, most Australians with a mortgage are paying more than necessary. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski sits down with mortgage broker Carmine Alvaro from Wealth Street to walk through practical strategies for reducing mortgage costs, increasing borrowing capacity, and structuring loans to work harder for investors in the current environment. George opens with a state of the nation update. Private inflation data from the Melbourne Institute is already running at 4.2% year-on-year and moving back toward 2022 and 2023 levels. The official unemployment rate is understating the real picture, with 20% of the workforce underutilised and population growth outpacing job creation at a pace driven by record immigration. The Geelong oil refinery, one of only two remaining in Australia, caught fire after being pushed to full capacity in response to the supply crisis. And rental listings have hit their lowest level on record while rents have surged 48% since 2019. The structural gap between housing supply and demand is widening. With that backdrop, George and Carmine dive into the finance strategies that can make a significant difference for property investors right now. In this episode: A new low-paperwork refinancing product that George is personally using to reduce his own interest rates Why variable rate loans outperform fixed rates 75% of the time over 30 years of Australian data George's personal offset account strategy & how he paid off a property in 2.5 years using this method How third-tier lenders can unlock significantly higher borrowing capacity with less paperwork How different lenders assess rental income differently, and the single factor can change how much you are able to borrow. How George manages a high-spend Amex account to minimise its impact on lending assessments AI and employment: George's counterargument to forecasts of 1.2 million jobs lost     About Positive Property: Positive Property has been empowering Australians to build financial freedom through strategic property investment for over 20 years.
