Why The Government WANTS You To Think The Property Market Is Crashing

The Australian property market fell 0.4% in June, its biggest monthly decline since December 2022. But this is not the property crash the headlines want you to believe. In this episode, Michael breaks down the real numbers behind the downturn, why demand has paused rather than disappeared, and how new negative gearing, capital gains tax and SMSF borrowing changes could push mum-and-dad investors out of the market. He also exposes the institutional shift happening behind the scenes, with foreign-backed build-to-rent operators receiving major tax concessions while everyday Australians lose control, opportunity and access. With billions flowing into institutional rental housing, migration continuing and buyers waiting on the sidelines, Michael explains why this temporary slowdown could become the buying window before the next property boom. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Chapters: 00:53 — The June Property Downturn: The Real Numbers 02:19 — 1.5 Million Arrivals and a 1.5% Vacancy Rate 05:04 — CGT and SMSF Borrowing Changes Explained 06:13 — Why the Mum-and-Dad Investor Model Is Being Switched Off 07:22 — Foreign Investor Tax Cut From 30% to 15% 09:31 — 34% Investor Decline and the $30 Billion Pipeline 11:01 — How Your Super Fund Is Buying Property Without You 12:08 — Why the Property Market Pressure Is Still Building 13:20 — The Buying Window Most Australians Will Miss –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Get in touch today: https://linktr.ee/pinnaclebuyersagents Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLurnyIhu_VwV2KSGhiFNFhDjux2d0MWVc #PBA #PropertyBanter #MichaelLežaja #BorrowingCapacity #PropertyInvesting #BuyersAgent #RealEstateAustralia #WealthBuilding #EquityGrowth #InvestSmart Disclaimer: The information provided in this content is general in nature and should not be considered as personal financial advice.
