The Govt's Investor Taxes Will Make the Housing Crisis Worse | Senator Andrew Bragg Warns
Saison 2 · Épisode 108
jeudi 8 octobre 2026 • Durée 37:51
Is the Australian housing crisis a failure of government policy?
Shadow Housing Minister Andrew Bragg says yes, and he brings the numbers. $10 billion spent, 17 homes built, and close to $80 billion in new taxes that he argues are shutting down housing supply across the Australian property market.

In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty sit down with Senator Andrew Bragg to look at what's really behind the housing crisis in Australia. Australia needs about 250,000 new homes a year but is on track to build only 170,000. Meanwhile, 1.5 million people have arrived in four years against just 500,000 homes built. Bragg explains why negative gearing and capital gains tax changes could push rents up and investors out. He also says first home buyers in Australia are falling into negative equity under the 5% deposit scheme, and that builder insolvencies point to a broken system. If you're a property investor, a first home buyer, or a homeowner trying to read where real estate in Australia goes next, this conversation shows the risks the mainstream narrative is missing.
What we cover:
✅ Why $80 billion in new property taxes could cut housing supply by 35,000 homes
✅ The negative gearing and CGT changes that could hit investors and push rents higher
✅ Why first home buyer applications are down 20 to 30% and many buyers face negative equity
✅ How a 2,000-page building code adds about $70,000 to the cost of a new home
✅ Why Bragg wants migration of 170,000 to 180,000 a year to match housing supply
✅ The Coalition's plan to roll back taxes and deregulate construction

Australia's Property Downturn Just Accelerated? | Interest Rate Hike
Saison 2 · Épisode 107
mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 43:02
Every capital city fell in September except Darwin, and the market that led the country for six years, Brisbane, is now falling the fastest. Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the full month across every market.

September delivered a fourth rate rise for the year, and the hosts open by addressing it head on, including why Lachlan still believes there won't be a further rise in November despite the RBA's commentary. From there it's the full round the grounds: national prices down 1.1% for the month, Sydney down 1.4%, Melbourne holding up best of the majors at 0.7%, and Brisbane leading the falls at 1.5%, which annualises to figures that would mark the sharpest downturn on record.
Lachlan explains why Brisbane and Perth still have a cushion the headline numbers miss, strong employment, high wages and tight vacancy, and why Perth and Darwin are the only two capitals not yet at their affordability ceiling. They cover why Melbourne's entry-level market is being propped up by owner-occupiers and investors competing head to head ahead of the state election, why investor-driven markets like Darwin and Hobart carry more risk, the drop in building approvals across New South Wales and Queensland against a 24% jump in South Australia, and why the two-speed market has fractured into many different speeds.
What we cover:
✅ The September rate rise and why Lachlan still rules out a November one
✅ National prices down 1.1% for the month, 2.7% from the peak
✅ Why Brisbane went from best performer to worst in the country
✅ Why Perth and Darwin are the only capitals not at their affordability ceiling
✅ The employment and wages cushion under Brisbane and Perth
✅ Why Melbourne's entry-level market is holding up into the election
✅ The risk in investor-driven markets like Darwin and Hobart
✅ Building approvals: NSW and QLD down, South Australia up 24%

Why Investors Have a Buying Window Right Now | Prepare for Big Price Crash
Saison 2 · Épisode 106
jeudi 1 octobre 2026 • Durée 53:45
Is the Australian property market crashing or about to recover?
"I'm buying, and I haven't bought for some time." Tom Panos, one of the most recognisable voices in Australian real estate, joins the podcast to explain why he thinks now is a window worth acting in, even with more headwinds ahead.

In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece & Lachlan Delahunty sit down with Tom Panos to break down what's really happening across real estate in Australia right now.
With 10-20% price falls, rising interest rates, and Sydney and Melbourne leading the downturn, investors and first-home buyers are asking the same question: is now an okay time to buy, or should you wait? Tom shares why he's personally buying, why Melbourne looks undervalued, and why trying to pick the bottom could cost you more than buying well in an A-grade location.
What We Cover In This Episode:
✅ Why Sydney property market and Melbourne property market fell first, and why they'll recover first
✅ Melbourne's green shoots: why it's now the best-performing capital city outside Darwin
✅ Auctions vs reality: why 83% of homes sell by private treaty and clearance rates mislead
✅ Affordability trap: prices down 10-20% but borrowing capacity down faster
✅ First-home buyers down 30%, investors, migration & housing undersupply explained
✅ Regional risk, recession odds, and where to buy for long-term property investment Australia
Timestamps:
00:00 Intro: Tom Panos on the current market
04:00 What era this downturn compares to
05:48 Why Tom is cautious about auction clearance data
10:18 Why Melbourne looks undervalued
12:28 Why now is arguably an okay time to buy
16:21 Why cheaper doesn't mean more affordable
20:29 How first home buyers got hit hardest
34:24 Is Australia heading for a recession?
44:02 The risk in speculative regional portfolios
51:07 The property cycle: who comes out first

These Melbourne Suburbs Are Rising While the Rest Fall | Property Experts
Saison 2 · Épisode 105
mardi 29 septembre 2026 • Durée 17:56
Twelve months ago we called a handful of Melbourne suburbs for growth. Today those picks are up more than 6% while the wider Melbourne market fell close to 10%, a swing of around 16%. Lachlan Delahunty explains why they held up, and where the value is heading into 2027.

Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty revisit the Melbourne suburb predictions they made on the podcast a year ago and grade their own calls. Despite a year of rate rises, trust lending changes, debt-to-income caps and the budget's negative gearing changes, the suburbs they backed have outperformed their long-term growth rates, while the ones they warned against have flatlined.
Lachlan explains the fundamentals behind the difference: landlocked suburbs with limited new supply, owner-occupier rates above 80 to 90%, strong school catchments, and infrastructure spending per person well above the state and national average, versus the investor-saturated, oversupplied fringe estates where new build product keeps dragging values down. He then looks ahead to 2027, why the sub one million dollar bracket is the sweet spot as first home buyers and investors compete in the same price point, what the proposed Victorian stamp duty and land tax changes could mean if they come in, why cash flow now matters more since the negative gearing changes, and why asset selection, not just the right suburb, is where most investors go wrong.
This is general information, not personal advice, and reflects the hosts' views. Every situation is different, so speak to a professional about yours.
What we cover:
✅ How our Melbourne suburb calls from 12 months ago actually performed
✅ Why the picks beat the wider market by around 16%
✅ The fundamentals behind the suburbs that held: supply, owner-occupiers, schools, infrastructure
✅ Why the investor-saturated fringe estates flatlined
✅ Why new build product keeps dragging down fringe values
✅ Why the sub one million dollar bracket is the sweet spot into 2027
✅ What proposed Victorian stamp duty and land tax changes could mean
✅ Why cash flow matters more since the negative gearing changes
✅ Why asset selection, not just the suburb, is where investors go wrong
✅ Why less than 5% of inspected properties pass Follio's due diligence

Saison 2 · Épisode 102
jeudi 17 septembre 2026 • Durée 34:37

Australia's residential market has wiped nearly a trillion dollars in value in six months, with high interest rates at 4.35% cash rate and a 20-30% drop in lending crushing borrowing capacity. But this is not one market, it's markets within markets. In this episode, we unpack the 7 key forces shaping property values right now: interest rates, credit availability, tax and policy, income and employment, sentiment expectations, supply and affordability, and external shocks.
You'll learn why Sydney and Melbourne remain most sensitive to rate rises and face continued declines, why Brisbane and Adelaide are declining at a slower pace despite hitting affordability peaks, and why Perth, Darwin and Canberra are protected in 2026 thanks to severe supply shortfalls, jobs growth and high incomes. Plus: why low consumer sentiment could mean the best opportunities for sophisticated investors, and why major government intervention to stimulate credit and policy is likely in 2027.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
✅ Why the Australian property market will continue to fall for the rest of 2026, but less aggressively
✅ The 7 forces driving house prices: rates, credit, tax, jobs, sentiment, supply & shocks
✅ Sydney property market vs Melbourne: why headlines will focus here
✅ Why Perth property, Darwin and Canberra are holding up (32,800 home shortfall in Perth)
✅ Brisbane property, Adelaide outlook and affordability peaks explained
✅ Property investment Australia strategy when sentiment is at historic lows
✅ What 2027 government stimulus could mean for rents, prices and your portfolio

Australia's Property Market Just FLIPPED | Should You Buy Now or Wait?
Saison 2 · Épisode 101

For property owners, the danger isn't the fall itself. It's the cash buffer. Holding less than a 5% buffer puts you on a knife's edge the moment financial stress hits, because that's when banks start looking to reclaim properties. Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty argue that waiting 12 to 18 months in a downturn is the worst move available, buyer pools thin out and price haircuts of 30 to 40% become the norm, not the exception.
For anyone doing property investment in Australia, this is the numbers-first conversation most investors avoid right up until the bank forces it. We go city by city across the Australian property market: why Melbourne is the only capital improving on the four-week rolling average, what's dragging Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth lower, why [Melbourne units] keep beating houses on the replacement cost argument, and how the shift away from auctions is changing how vendors negotiate in a soft market. Plus the difference between wholesale and retail unit purchases, how a 5.5%+ yield can turn a negatively geared property portfolio into one that pays for itself in the current interest rates environment, and what a pre-Christmas rate rise would do to prices into 2027.
What we cover in this Episode:
✅ Know your numbers before the market makes you: debt, true equity, debt-to-income and cash-to-debt
✅ Why a 2% cash buffer puts you one rate rise away from a forced sale, and the 10% floor that protects you
✅ Which regional assets go first, and what happens when investor demand leaves Townsville and Gladstone
✅ The FOMO-stage exit rule: why holding too long costs 30–40%, not 10–15%
✅ Selling with a tenant vs vacant, and which buyer pool you're actually pitching
✅ Commercial at 5.5%+ vs high-yield residential: which fits a cash-flow-negative portfolio
✅ Wholesale vs retail units: how buying a whole complex in one line lands a discount
✅ Why land exposure beats "air space" in a 200-unit tower
✅ Melbourne units trading $300K–$500K below replacement cost, and what that means for capital growth
✅ The two-speed economy and the 2009 playbook for what happens when rates fall
