2-Sense: What tax reforms mean for the housing market

Property podcast

There's some talk of capital gains taxes being cranked up for all asset classes.

If that happens then maybe people will focus more on buying an expensive home, and less on investment.

Here's what Chris and I discussed on the podcast this week:

What potential changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing could mean for investors and renters, then zoom out to the bigger forces shaping the property market.

Key topics:

  • Possible CGT and negative gearing reforms, and the flow-on to investor demand, rents and buyers
  • Oil prices, bond yields, sticky rents, and shaky confidence in Sydney and Melbourne
  • The role of immigration and supply in ongoing housing pressure
  • Listener Q&A on refinancing, fixed vs variable rates, and whether to wait or back high-quality assets
