The Federal Budget, Renters, And Australia's Housing Future
In this episode of Property Now, Carbs sits down with Coposit co-founder Chris Ferris to unpack one of the biggest property stories of the year.
From negative gearing and capital gains tax to housing supply and the future of renting, the episode explores what the Federal Budget could mean for first home buyers, investors, and Australia's property market.
Will the Changes Help First Home Buyers?
A key question raised is whether reducing investor advantages will make it easier for first home buyers to enter the market.
The episode explores:
- Lower investor borrowing power
- More competition for new housing
- Housing affordability
- The balance between investors and owner occupiers
The hope is that more families can compete for their first home.
Off the Plan Property and New Housing Supply
The Budget places a strong focus on encouraging investment into new housing rather than existing property.
The conversation highlights that:
- New housing supply remains critical
- Construction costs are still high
- Development feasibility remains challenging
- Tax changes alone may not solve the housing shortage
Building more homes remains one of Australia's biggest property challenges.
Why Renters Could Face More Pressure
One of the strongest points in the episode is the rental market.
The discussion suggests that:
- Population growth is continuing
- Housing supply remains tight
- Rental demand is increasing
Without significant new housing, renters could continue facing higher costs in the coming years.
