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. Get Access to PropStac 👉 https://propstac.com.au?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_108 Looking to invest 👉 https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_108 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 Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: Senator Andrew Bragg on housing 01:24 His view on the budget and the property market since 05:40 On supply, demand and migration 11:00 The Liberal Party's position and rebuilding confidence 16:00 Inside the construction code and build costs 19:40 Construction productivity and union influence 25:00 Super funds, self-managed super and housing 32:20 Migration levels and demand-side measures 36:00 Quick fire: supply, negative gearing and super for housing Follow Senator Andrew Bragg: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braggsenator Profile: https://www.andrewbragg.com/ About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

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. Access The Data for Free 👉 https://propstac.com.au?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_107 Review Your Portfolio 👉 https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_107 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% Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: a big month and the rate rise 02:00 The September rate rise, and the November call 05:00 The national picture: every capital's fall 06:50 Why Brisbane is now the worst performer 09:20 Investor-driven markets: Darwin and Hobart 11:30 From two-speed to a multi-speed market 16:00 Vacancy rates and where the jobs are 17:45 Building approvals across the states 20:30 Sydney, Melbourne and the major capitals 29:30 Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and the smaller capitals About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

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. Looking to invest 👉 https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_106 Get Access to PropStac 👉 https://propstac.com.au/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_106 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 Follow Tom Panos: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tom_panos/?hl=en Business: https://tompanos.com.au/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tompanoscoach About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

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. Get Access To PropStac 👉 https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_105 Looking to Invest in Melbourne 👉 https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_105 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 ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Intro: reviewing our Melbourne predictions 01:40 Markets within markets: what the headlines miss 02:40 The suburbs we backed, and how they performed 04:20 The suburbs we warned against, and why 06:00 Why quality locations held through the macro shocks 08:00 The investor belt, serviceability and the sweet spot 10:00 Why asset selection is where most investors go wrong 13:00 The Victorian election and proposed policy changes 15:00 What Lachlan is buying now: cash flow and fundamentals 16:40 Using PropStack to compare suburbs yourself About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Most of the headlines treat Australian property as one market that's all falling at the same pace. Lachlan Delahunty breaks down the seven forces that actually drive property values, and why they explain exactly which markets are protected and which are not. Get Access to PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_102 Discuss Your Portfolio 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_102 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.

Every capital city fell last week, except one submarket. Melbourne units are the only market in the country Cotalit y has showing growth, and Lachlan Delahunty explains exactly why, plus a real portfolio breakdown showing what to sell and what to buy in this environment. Get Access to PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_101 Get In Touch 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_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 Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: the portfolio and the market update 04:00 A real composite portfolio, broken down 05:51 Which two properties to sell, and why 11:20 Sell now or wait, and with or without a tenant 15:52 What to buy instead: commercial or Melbourne units 16:47 Wholesale versus retail units explained 19:51 Melbourne units: the only market still growing 21:29 Auction clearance and the shift to private treaty 24:00 Units versus apartments: what to actually buy 29:42 The two-speed market and the rate outlook About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Negative gearing is often framed as a tax break for the wealthy. Accountant Nathan Hood points to ATO data suggesting the opposite: around 70% of negative gearing claims come from people with a single property, and two-thirds of those earn under $80,000 a year. Access PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_100 Get In Touch 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_100 Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty bring accountant Nathan Hood back to the podcast to work through what the budget changes actually mean for how you structure and hold property. Nathan explains who the changes hurt most, why the days of simple property investing are over, and why getting the right advice now matters more than it used to. They cover the property versus shares debate and why property has always been a debt game, where the real opportunities sit after the changes, across the main residence exemption, company structures and self-managed super, and why capital gains indexation replacing the 50% discount makes flipping property far less attractive. Nathan also explains why many investors will need a fresh valuation sooner rather than later, how a higher valuation can save tens of thousands in tax, and why the old buy-and-move-in strategy has given way to a retain-and-subdivide approach in blue chip suburbs. This is general information, not personal, tax or financial advice, and reflects the guest's and hosts' views. Everyone's situation is different, so speak to a qualified professional about yours. What we cover: ✅ Why the ATO data suggests negative gearing mostly benefits single-property owners ✅ Who the budget changes actually hurt most ✅ Property versus shares, the debt game, and how margin calls really work ✅ Where the opportunities are: main residence, company structures and super ✅ The new deductible versus non-deductible debt strategy ✅ Company and trust structures after the budget, and who they suit ✅ Why CGT indexation replacing the 50% discount makes flipping far less viable ✅ Why you may need a property valuation now, and how it saves tax ✅ The unintended SMSF shift the changes created ✅ The retain-and-subdivide strategy replacing the old approach Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: returning guest Nathan Hood 04:14 The negative gearing myth: who really claims it 07:14 Property versus shares: the debt game 10:53 Margin calls and why property debt works differently 12:26 Where the opportunities are: main residence, company, super 17:14 The new debt strategy: deductible versus non-deductible 20:08 Company and trust structures after the budget 23:52 CGT indexation versus the 50% discount: why flipping is dead 26:07 Why you need a valuation now, and how to get it right 31:30 SMSF and the retain-and-subdivide strategy Follow Nathan Hood: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanhoodperth/ Business: https://carbongroup.com.au/ About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

From slashing a dangerous debt to income ratio to turning a cash flow drain into a self-funded asset, this episode shows how sophisticated investors reposition for long-term capital growth. Lachlan breaks down the numbers behind two very different investors: a six-property portfolio bleeding cash on regional assets, and a young Sydney couple trying to upgrade their family home. He explains how to read a debt to income ratio, when negative gearing stops making sense, and why he would pull equity out of Brisbane and Adelaide blue-chip assets to reposition into the Melbourne property market. If you are weighing capital growth against cash flow, this is the framework to make the call. What you'll learn: ✅ Why a 3% cash buffer and a 5.8x debt to income ratio is a danger zone, and how to fix it ✅ When to divest regional properties and which blue-chip assets to keep ✅ How a Melbourne unit complex delivered a 6.5% yield and a $600k equity uplift on day one ✅ The case for selling everything to upgrade a Sydney family home, and when to hold instead ✅ How to push your portfolio harder with a bigger cash buffer and higher cash flow Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: a strategy episode for experienced investors 02:48 Scenario one: reviewing a $5.5 million portfolio 05:24 The warning signs: debt-to-income and cash buffers 08:20 Why the advice was to sell the regionals 13:34 The Melbourne unit complex: $600K equity from day one 16:39 Cash flow forecasting and retirement income 18:00 Scenario two: a young Sydney family's portfolio 19:23 Sell everything and upgrade in Sydney now 22:55 The alternative strategy if you're not upgrading 27:01 Is this portfolio enough to retire on?

They talk through what actually makes a buyer's agency worth trusting, and why strategy matters far more than sales. Then into the seven-day market update across every capital. Sydney has now fallen for 14 consecutive weeks and is on track to approach the sharpest annual decline in 40 years, though the severity is starting to moderate and auction clearance rates are quietly recovering. Melbourne is falling more slowly, with its sub one million dollar market posting positive movement even as the top end drops. Brisbane's decline is accelerating into a wave of new supply, Adelaide is picking up pace against a backdrop of outbound migration, and Perth is still up strongly for the year despite its first back-to-back weekly falls.

The Big Four banks just published their 2027 property forecasts, and they don't agree. ANZ is tipping falls across the board while CBA and Westpac are forecasting growth, a spread of nearly 10% on the same market.

One bank predicts a national house price crash while another forecasts solid growth. In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down every major bank forecast for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and reveal which prediction the data actually supports. Lachlan and Reece go beyond the headlines to expose why bank forecasts keep getting it wrong.

Last week was the worst week for the Australian property market in all of 2026, with Sydney alone down almost half a percent in seven days. But the more useful question is how far each market actually falls from here, and Lachlan Delahunty has the data to answer it. Real Estate Agent Callout 👉: jonathan@follio.com.au Access PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=93&utm_campaign=propstac Contact Us👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/ In the first of the new weekly market update, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down seven days of Cotality data across every capital city. They walk through Sydney's worst weekly fall on record this year, why prestige suburbs are being hit far harder than the affordable end, and why Melbourne's sub one million dollar market is running hot even as the median keeps sliding. The core of the episode is the affordability index, the share of the average wage consumed by the average mortgage, and how it predicts when a market tops out and how far it corrects. On today's numbers, Sydney sits well above its historical ceiling and would need to fall around 12% to return to it, while Melbourne sits well below its ceiling with real runway left. Lachlan also explains why Brisbane's run may be ending, why the end of the SMSF lending window may have driven this particular week, why he believes you shouldn't be selling into a falling market without a reason, and where the next cycle is likely to begin. What we cover: ✅ Why last week was the worst week for property in 2026 ✅ What Lachlan meant by "the worst is behind us," and what he now stands corrected on ✅ Sydney's worst weekly fall on record this year and why prestige is hurting most ✅ Why Melbourne's sub one million dollar market is one of the hottest in the country ✅ Brisbane hitting its affordability ceiling and the oversupply risk building ✅ Adelaide and Perth, and how the SMSF deadline may have shaped the week ✅ How the affordability index predicts exactly how far each market falls ✅ Why Sydney may need to fall around 12% while Melbourne has runway left ✅ The widening gap between house and unit prices and the opportunity it creates ✅ Why Melbourne may lead the next cycle, and why Follio stays cautious on Darwin Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: the worst week for Australian property in 2026 03:21 What "the worst is behind us" actually meant 05:49 Sydney: the worst weekly fall on record this year 07:28 Why the prestige markets are hurting most 08:44 Melbourne: why the sub one million dollar market runs hot 11:40 Brisbane: the wheels come off and the oversupply risk 13:09 Adelaide, Perth and the SMSF deadline effect 18:00 The affordability index: how far each market can fall 30:32 The cycle: why Melbourne may lead the next decade 33:46 Darwin: why Follio stays cautious About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

New lending figures show investor activity down 8.6% and first home buyers still falling, and yet the more surprising story is where the price falls are actually landing: the most expensive suburbs, not the affordable ones. Join the PropStac Waitlist 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=92&utm_campaign=propstac Start you investment journery 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=92&utm_campaign=contact_us Three major data sets landed on the same day, and Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break all three down live. They start with the ABS lending figures to June, why the post-budget drop is smaller than expected but only captures half a month of the fallout, and why the next quarter will likely be far more significant. Lachlan also explains why banks losing volume could make debt easier to access over the next six to twelve months. From there they turn to the migration data, where permanent arrivals rose while short-term arrivals fell, and what a shift toward skilled migration means for housing and the economy. Then into the Cotality figures: how far each capital would fall in a downturn scenario, why Melbourne may be closer to its floor than any other market, and why the prestige end is taking a far bigger hit than the affordable end. They close on investor share by state, including Victoria at 41% and Tasmania at a striking 73%, and the case building around Melbourne heading into the Victorian election. What we cover: ✅ ABS lending data: investor activity down 8.6% and why the next quarter will be worse ✅ The RBA hold, easing US inflation, and the odds of one more rate rise this year ✅ Why banks losing market share could make borrowing easier soon ✅ Migration data: permanent arrivals up 7.8% while short-term arrivals fall ✅ Cotality peak prices and how far each capital would fall in a 20% downturn ✅ Why Melbourne may be near its floor and set to rebound fastest ✅ The two-speed economy across Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth ✅ Why prestige suburbs are falling four to five times faster than affordable ones ✅ Investor share by state: Victoria at 41% and Tasmania at 73% ✅ The Melbourne outlook heading into the Victorian election Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: three data releases in one day 01:02 ABS lending data: investor activity down 8.6% 03:40 The RBA hold, US inflation and the rate outlook 06:36 Migration data: permanent arrivals up, short-term down 09:48 Cotality: peak prices and the downturn scenarios 11:21 Why Melbourne may be near its floor 14:17 The two-speed economy: Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth 16:40 Why the prestige markets are falling fastest 21:18 Investor share by state: Victoria 41%, Tasmania 73% 22:12 The Melbourne outlook and the Victorian election About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Every capital city is now flat or falling, some markets by more than 1.5% a month, and yet Lachlan Delahunty just put an offer on a unit complex in Melbourne. This episode is about why the two things aren't a contradiction. Get in touch 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=91&utm_campaign=contact_us Join the PropStac Waitlist 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=91&utm_campaign=contact_us Back in the studio together, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty work through the questions clients ask most often. They start with the big one: is now actually a good time to buy? Lachlan makes the case that the market is running at five different speeds, why buying into heavily falling markets is a mistake even when everyone is quoting "be greedy when others are fearful," and why a softer market is exactly where a disciplined buyer finds undervalued assets. From there they cover the real risk in investing outside your home state, and why the cost of doing so is usually dwarfed by the upside of buying in the right market. They break down the post-budget question of whether to upgrade your home or buy your first investment property, why units and townhouses have become far more compelling since the negative gearing changes, and what the latest KPMG forecast says about unit price growth. The episode closes on how couples with very different risk appetites can align on a single strategy. What we cover: ✅ Is now a good time to buy, and why "markets within markets" changes the answer ✅ Why buying into a falling market is different from buying selectively in a soft one ✅ The real risk of investing interstate, and why a $50K cost can be worth a far larger upside ✅ Why you don't invest to save tax or reduce your land tax bill ✅ Upgrading your home versus buying your first investment property after the budget ✅ Why units and townhouses have become more compelling since the negative gearing changes ✅ What the KPMG forecast predicts for unit price growth versus houses next year ✅ How replacement cost and undersupply support the case for units ✅ How couples with mismatched risk appetites can align using cash buffers and worst-case planning Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: client FAQs and the state of the market 02:50 Is now a good time to buy? 03:59 Why buying into falling markets is a mistake 05:54 The opportunity in a softer market: being selective 07:00 Interstate and cross-state investing risk 14:53 Upgrading your home versus your first investment property 19:48 Units and townhouses versus houses 21:48 The KPMG forecast: units to outperform houses next year 24:36 Aligning couples with different risk appetites About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Perth relies on private investors for 85% of its rental homes. Victoria just lost 642 in a single month, Queensland 332, and REIWA President Suzanne Brown explains why WA could be next. 📊 Join the PropStac Waitlist: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=89&utm_campaign=youtube_propstac Discuss your portfolio 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=89&utm_campaign=youtube_contact In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, host Reece Beddall sits down with Suzanne Brown, President of REIWA and Director of RentWest, with over 35 years of property experience across Western Australia. This is a deep dive into the Australian property market, investor sentiment, and the incoming rental reform set to reshape the WA rental market by next year. We unpack the East Coast investor exodus (Victoria lost 642 rental properties in a single month, Queensland lost 332), why Perth's 2% vacancy rate is already critically tight, and why no-grounds termination legislation, despite sounding tenant-friendly, could push more investors out of the rental pool and worsen the housing supply crisis for renters. Suzanne also explains the end of the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS), its impact on 1,500 WA tenants, and why REIWA believes government housing supply policy is ignoring the demand side of the equation. What you'll learn in this episode: Why investors provide 85% of WA's rental housing and what happens when they leave the market The real numbers behind the East Coast investor exodus and what it signals for Perth How no-grounds termination reform could backfire on the tenants it's designed to protect Why Victoria's rental reform model is being called WA's "guinea pig" policy The financial reality landlords face when trying to remove a tenant (it's not as simple as $50 a week) What happened when the NRAS scheme ended and why 1,500 WA tenants were left without a safety net Why REIWA believes government is solving the supply problem while ignoring renter affordability  How REIWA's 90% industry membership gives it direct influence over WA property policy  The rise of buyer's agents in WA and what accreditation now requires  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: Suzanne Brown, REIWA President 03:10 The East Coast investor exodus: 05:20 Why WA relies on investors for 85% of rental supply 07:00 Perth's 2% vacancy rate and the risk of a 3% investor exit 09:15 Why investor sentiment has turned 12:30 No-grounds termination explained 15:45 The real cost of moving a tenant, and Victoria versus London 21:00 REIWA, government engagement and the stamp duty windfall 24:10 The end of NRAS and 1,500 WA tenants 28:00 Raising the bar on buyer's agents and accreditation Suzanne Brown: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzanne-brown-rentwest/ REIWA: https://reiwa.com.au/ RentWest: https://www.rentwest.com.au/ About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

The budget was meant to help first home buyers. Instead their activity fell from 66.7% to 54.9% while investor inquiries surged, and Sydney just hit its lowest homeownership rate since 1954. 📊 Join the PropStac Waitlist: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=88&utm_campaign=youtube Get in touch 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=ep&utm_medium=88&utm_campaign=youtube_contact_us The Australian property market just got flipped on its head. In this post-budget Follio Property Podcast breakdown, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty expose the dangerous surge in investor activity, the collapse in first home buyer participation, Sydney's worst homeownership rate since the 1950s, and why negative gearing changes are forcing every investor to rethink their strategy immediately. The latest federal budget was supposed to help first home buyers. Instead, investor activity in new builds has exploded by 76%, first home buyer participation has dropped 12%, and Sydney's owner-occupier rate has fallen to 59.9%, the lowest since 1954. Reece and Lachlan dissect four major AFR articles, unpack the data, and explain why this budget's unintended consequences are pushing the market toward oversupply in the wrong areas, price deflation, and a generation of buyers locked out of homeownership. They also break down a real investor couple's portfolio, calling out the "unsophisticated" plays and giving blunt, non-generic advice on what to hold, what to sell, and what to run from. What You'll Learn: ✅ Why first home buyer activity crashed from 66.7% to 54.9% and how government data hides the truth ✅ The 76% surge in investor house-and-land inquiries and why it signals a repeat of the COVID building boom and bust ✅ How outer-fringe new builds risk becoming oversupplied "ghetto areas" with 90% tenancy and zero capital growth ✅ Sydney's homeownership collapse: 59.9% rate, $1.26M median, and a 65% affordability index that made a correction inevitable ✅ Why Perth and Brisbane are fundamentally different from Sydney and Melbourne, wages, undersupply, and where the resilience actually is.. ✅ Australia's 13 million empty bedrooms: why baby boomers can't downsize and what tax policy could actually fix it ✅ Negative gearing changes post-budget: the complete strategy rethink every property investor needs right now ✅ Real portfolio teardown: Cairns commercial, Cranbourne, and Bendigo, which asset is a "triple threat" to exit immediately Timestamps: 00:00 The post-budget picture: investors up, first home buyers down 04:00 Simonds reports a 76% spike in investor inquiries 06:00 Outer-fringe oversupply and the building quality risk 08:00 Why first home buyers have stepped back 09:40 Sydney homeownership hits 59.9%, lowest since 1954 11:48 Sydney's $1.26M median and the 65% affordability ceiling 12:40 Perth and Brisbane versus Sydney: why they diverge 14:30 13 million empty bedrooms and the downsizing problem 20:00 Negative gearing and the strategy rethink 21:20 Real portfolio teardown: Cairns, Cranbourne and Bendigo About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Is the rise of buyer's agents actually putting the Australian property market at risk? PK Gupta has built a community around a straightforward argument: most Australian investors do not need a buyer's agent. Reece Beddall argue’s a case against. This is the conversation that followed.

PK Gupta brings a contrarian perspective on the Australian property landscape in 2026. Rather than relying on buyer's agents, he champions a DIY approach to property investment built on data interpretation, qualitative research, and understanding the macro forces that actually move markets. The discussion covers everything from oil shocks and inflation to why over 50% of Gold Coast properties above $2 million are purchased with cash, and what that signals for everyday investors trying to enter the market. If you have been wondering whether negative gearing changes will tank your portfolio, whether Perth and Darwin still have room to run, or how to identify the next affordable growth corridor before the crowd arrives, this conversation delivers the data-backed answers. ✅ Why PK believes limiting negative gearing to two properties will not move house prices ✅ What university modelling suggests about reducing the CGT discount from 50% ✅ Inflation, oil shocks and 17% interest rates, and why Australian house prices still rose through all three ✅ PK's affordable regional picks for 2026 to 2028: Bendigo, Ballarat, Hobart, Launceston, Geelong, Newcastle, Mackay and Townsville ✅ Why Darwin's current cycle may be more sustainable than its last one ✅ The Angle Vale case study: how concentrated investor demand moved a suburb ✅ Why the same data everyone can access still produces very different results ✅ Speculative assets inside SMSFs and why the structure demands the opposite ✅ Whether the multi property landlord is finished, and PK's view on the sliding scale Timestamps: 00:00 - Buyer's Agents: Necessity or Dangerous Crutch? 02:22 - Negative Gearing Reform: Why It Won't Impact House Prices 04:05 - Inflation, Oil Shocks & 17% Rates: Property Still Doubled 07:50 - PK's Affordable Regional Picks for 2026-2028 11:22 - Darwin's Boom: Why This Cycle Is Structurally Different 15:22 - The Dark Side of Buyer's Agents: Data Distortion Exposed 20:52 - Democratized Data: Why You Don't Need a Buyer's Agent 27:26 - Angle Vale Case Study: How Investors Move Entire Suburbs 33:20 - SMSF Danger Zone: Speculative Assets vs Blue-Chip Strategy 35:45 - The End of Multi-Property Landlords?

Lending has tightened sharply since the 2026 Budget, and the investors who understand the new rules will be positioned to buy while others sit out. Michael Killiner, Director of Tusk Finance, joins Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty to break down what the negative gearing and capital gains tax changes actually mean for borrowing capacity, serviceability and cash flow. This is the most significant lending shakeup Australian property investors have faced since the interest-only caps of 2017, and most of it is happening quietly inside bank policy rather than in the headlines. Michael covers how lenders are now assessing rental income, why first home buyer lodgments have fallen since the Budget and how the guarantee scheme backfired, the real cash flow position on a $700,000 investment property, and the everyday commitments quietly destroying loan applications. He also explains why negative gearing is not gone so much as delayed, how debt recycling still works in 2026, and how to structure offset accounts and lending across major and non-bank lenders for the current environment.

In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, we run a "Compare The Pair" analysis across 50 randomly selected properties in Brisbane, Perth, and Melbourne, stacking established houses, boutique units, house and land packages, and high-rise apartments against each other over the last 7–10 years. The data is brutal. If you own the wrong asset type in the wrong city, you are not just underperforming, you are going backwards while inflation eats your equity. We break down exactly which property types delivered the highest capital growth returns, why boutique units in Perth exploded at 23.3% compounding, and how Melbourne Docklands apartments have set investors back decades with losses ranging from $13,000 to $125,000. This is not theory, these are real asset performances tracked by a buyers agency managing hundreds of client portfolios. Whether you are building a property portfolio, a first home buyer trying to get in, or an experienced investor reviewing your strategy, the gap between the best and worst asset types in the Australian property market has never been wider. What we've covered in this:✅ Established Houses vs House and Land - Melbourne houses compounded at 7% while house and land packages limped at 1.6%. Brisbane saw the tightest spread (14.3% vs 12.9%) driven by post-Covid replacement cost inflation, but that anomaly is not expected to continue.✅ The Boutique Unit Outperformance - Perth units delivered 23.3% capital growth vs 12% for houses. Brisbane units hit 15.3%. These are smaller complexes (15 or less, 2–3 levels, with parking) in blue-chip land-locked suburbs; scarcity drives the outperformance.✅ The Melbourne Apartment Disaster - Off-the-plan high-rise apartments returned -1.3% compounding. With inflation at 3%, investors in Docklands and Southbank lost real wealth. Specific losses ranged up to $125,000 on resale.Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & Why This Data Matters 04:42 Established Houses06:12 House & Land Packages08:38 High-Rise Apartments11:33 Boutique Units12:53 Docklands Losses Up to $125,000 13:51 Why Scarcity Dictates Capital Growth 15:08 Is Melbourne Turning a Corner or Still Trapped? 17:41 Blue-Chip Land-Locked Suburbs vs CBD Towers 18:26 $30K to $500K Profit Examples About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, we break down the latest weekly data, auction clearance rates, and the real supply-demand numbers driving this two-speed Australian housing market in 2026.Is the Australian housing market heading for a crash or a correction? This week's data reveals a stark divide, Melbourne is sitting on a 54,000 dwelling surplus while Perth faces a 32,800 shortfall. Sydney's auction clearance rates have plummeted to 53% from 75% a year ago, and first home buyers have withdrawn by nearly 30% despite government incentives. We unpack our Chief Economist's supply-demand analysis, the RBA's outlook on private credit defaults, and what Follio's proprietary sentiment index is telling us about where property prices Australia-wide are headed next. For anyone tracking the Perth property market, Brisbane property market, or looking at property investment Australia strategies, these weekly numbers are essential viewing.✅ Melbourne dwelling surplus hits 54,000, what it means for prices ✅ Perth's 32,800 dwelling shortfall and why it's showing sheer resilience ✅ Sydney auction clearance rates drop to 53%, the 55% danger zone explained ✅ First home buyers withdraw 30%, why government incentives are failing ✅ Investor lending collapses from 41% to 22% of market activity ✅ Perth R-code changes unlock subdivision potential on 10,000+ properties ✅ Follio sentiment index, why Melbourne confidence is highest despite price fallsTimestamps: 0:00 Introduction: Sydney & Melbourne Property Price Forecast July 20261:30 Two-Speed Economy Update: Why Australian Markets Are Moving At Different Speeds3:30 Weekly Market Pulse: Green Shoots In Home Open Activity Across Australia5:10 Why First Home Buyers & Owner Occupiers Are Leaving The Market7:30 The Supply Story Nobody Is Talking About: Australian Housing Market Data8:30 Dwelling Surplus Explained: Melbourne 54,000 vs Brisbane & Perth Undersupply14:00 Melbourne Property Market Deep Dive: Why Supply Can't Be Fixed Quickly16:00 Adelaide & Sydney: Hitting The Affordability Ceiling21:00 Investor Sentiment Index: Why Experienced Investors Are Getting More Confident26:00 Perth Property Market Update: Median Over $1M, R-Code Changes & What's Next29:00 Brisbane & Adelaide Outlook: Stabilisation or Further Decline?About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

While Sydney and Melbourne show macro decline, smart money is buying at 60% under replacement cost in the micro markets that are quietly running. In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Lachlan Delahunty and Reece Beddall walk through four real client case studies, a Sydney unit owner, a Melbourne rentvestor, a leveraged investor, and a near retiree, with four completely different answers to the same question: is now the time to buy?What makes this episode critical is the post-budget lens. Negative gearing changes, the SMSF debate, and Australia's unique interest rate cycle have made property investment more complex than it has been in years. Lachlan breaks down why the one-size-fits-all advice flooding the market right now is dangerous, which three asset types are getting a suspicious amount of noise (and which one he is actually buying), and why interest rates carry more weight for your portfolio than any policy change coming out of Canberra. If you are sitting on equity, considering rentvesting, or wondering whether to consolidate or expand, this episode gives you the exact framework to make the call before the window closes.In this podcast, we covered:✅ Why current buying conditions are the best in 4-5 years for the right investor ✅ Case Study 1: Sydney unit owner with equity; upgrade, diversify, or hold? ✅ Case Study 2: Melbourne renter; rentvesting vs entering the owner-occupier market ✅ Case Study 3: Investor with two negatively geared properties, consolidate or buy a third? ✅ Case Study 4: Near retiree with a paid-off investment property; de-risking for cash flow ✅ Why commercial property, house and land packages, and off-the-plan are getting pushed hard ✅ The RBA rate cycle and why Australia is on a different path to the rest of the worldTimestamps: 00:00 Buying Conditions Are the Best in Years 02:17 The Post-Budget Property Landscape 04:22 Three Asset Types Getting Noise (and One Worth Buying) 06:45 Why Smart Money Is Buying Now 12:07 RBA Rate Cycle and Australia's Unique Position 16:18 Negative Gearing: Should It Stop You? 18:27 Case Study 1: Sydney Unit Owner 20:16 Case Study 2: Melbourne Rentvestor 22:49 Case Study 3: Leveraged Investor With Two Properties 25:02 Case Study 4: Near Retiree Portfolio StrategyKey ThemesAustralian property market 2026 | Buying property under replacement cost Australia | Sydney property market investment strategy | Melbourne rentvesting property case study | Commercial property Australia investment | Negative gearing changes Australia 2026 | Property portfolio consolidation strategy About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

If you think the Australian property market has locked out your generation, this episode will challenge everything you believe about getting started.At just 20 years old, with no financial safety net and a casual income that banks repeatedly dismissed, she made her first property purchase and has not stopped since. Now sitting at nine properties and a tenth settling, her portfolio approach to property investment in Australia is built on a cash flow focus, dual occupancy conversions, rooming house models, and relentless equity reuse, strategies that most first home buyers and investors are never told about.In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Emma walks through every major decision in her property portfolio journey in Australia. She also reveals the lending battle that nearly derailed her portfolio and how discovering alt-doc financing through a specialist mortgage broker became the turning point in her entire real estate investing journey.Whether you are a first-home buyer trying to get a foothold in the Australian property market, an investor looking to scale a cash-flow-positive portfolio, or simply someone trying to understand how to invest in property in Australia on a realistic income, Emma's story is one of the most instructive case studies you will find anywhere in Australian property investment.*This episode was filmed prior to the Federal Budget announcement.*TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction03:42 First Property at 20: Broke, Casual Wage, Banks Said No04:46 Second Property: Dual Tenancy and Levelling Up in Adelaide Hills06:39 Emma's Investment Strategy: Why She Buys Like an Owner-Occupier10:18 Rentvesting Explained: Did Emma Use It?14:27 The Lending Problem: Why Banks Rejected Her Airbnb Income14:59 The Mortgage Broker Advantage: Why Specialist Brokers Change Everything20:00 Self-Managing, Cash Buffers, and Keeping the Portfolio Running22:36 The Core Strategy: Renovate, Build Equity, Repeat23:28 The Rooming House Model: Maximum Yield, Affordable Living26:15 How This Strategy Hedges Against CGT and Negative Gearing Reform28:11 Advice for Gen Z and Millennials Who Feel Locked OutFollow Emma Roberts: Business: https://borrowwell.com.au/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyemmaroberts/About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down exactly which asset classes will thrive and which will burn your cash in a post-budget market where negative gearing benefits have been slashed and borrowing capacity has dropped by $200,000.If you're investing in Australian property in 2026, the rules have changed. The RBA has held rates at 4.35% with inflation still running too hot, and the recent Federal Budget has reshaped the playbook for property investors across Australia. Banks are already lowering fixed mortgage rates, signalling rate cuts ahead but the real story is how the budget's changes to negative gearing are transforming buyer behaviour across the Australian housing market.In this episode, Lachlan Delahunty and Reece Beddall analyse the asset classes that matter right now: houses versus units versus apartments, land banking strategies, regional property markets, and commercial property investing. Lachlan defines the critical distinction between units and apartments (high-rise airspace with no scarcity).What You'll Learn:✅ Why the 2026 Budget has made land banking strategies far less viable for Australian property investors ✅ The critical difference between units and apartments and why it determines your capital growth ✅ How negative gearing changes have reduced borrowing capacity by up to $200,000 ✅ Why regional and lifestyle property markets face the most pain post-budget ✅ The hidden traps in commercial property yields and how to verify advertised returns ✅ Which asset classes Lachlan Delahunty recommends in a high-rate, post-budget environment ✅ The replacement cost argument that makes units at $450K more attractive than building at $850K+Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:14 RBA Holds at 4.35% & Investors Sentiment Shift05:32 Land Banking & Upgrade Sites: No Longer Viable07:34 $200K Borrowing Capacity Wipeout08:43 New Post-Budget Playbook: Location, Land, Asset Type10:49 Units vs Apartments Defined11:12 Why Units Are Outperforming Houses16:35 Regional & Lifestyle Markets Face the Most Pain22:52 Commercial Property Yield TrapsAbout The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

The math doesn't work, and the result is the worst rental crisis in living memory. Leith Onselen joins the Follio Property Podcast to break down exactly why Labor's migration policy is crushing the Australian housing market, how the federal government's addiction to personal income tax revenue is driving the crisis, and the three policy changes that could turn it all around.In this episode, Leith Van Onselen delivers a comprehensive takedown of Australia's economic management. He argues that running migration "at just the most obscene rate into a supply restricted market" has crushed living standards and productivity, with per capita GDP going backwards in 10 of the last 15 quarters. The core problem is structural: 52% of federal revenue comes from personal income taxes, so Canberra has every incentive to pump population growth while the states carry the infrastructure bill.

Grab your FREE report from Australia's leading property experts and discover what's coming next.Sydney house prices are falling at the fastest rate since 2018 and the government isn't trying to stop it. In this episode, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty along with Redom Syed expose why the Australian government is betting on a Sydney property market correction before 2026 and why the next 6–12 months could be the best buying window Sydney has seen in 15 years.The Sydney property market in 2026 is shifting faster than most buyers and investors realise. House prices now sit at $1.6 million, down 4% in the last quarter alone, with auction clearance rates falling below 50% for the first time in years. This isn't just another cycle. Three rate rises, a government clampdown on investor lending, and post-budget uncertainty have combined to trigger what could become an 8%-plus aggregate price decline for Sydney. Borrowing power has fallen 30–40% over five years, and consumer confidence sits at historic lows. For Australian property investors and first-home buyers sitting on the sidelines, the question isn't whether Sydney will fall further, it's whether you'll recognise the window when it's open. The underlying housing shortage hasn't disappeared. Migration rates remain high. And the affordability index, which peaked at 61.5% in mid-2024 and now sits in the low 50s, is approaching levels that historically precede market rebounds. In this episode, we will cover:✅ The budget created "a bigger impact than the policy measures" ✅ The $2M–$5M trap✅ Auction clearance rates ✅ The affordability index✅ Borrowing power: how a decline changes things✅ The tale of 2–3 cities inside Sydney✅ Why Sydney's 2018 15% decline is the template for what happens next Timestamps:00:00 - Sydney Enters Buyer's Territory02:25 - Budget Fallout: Uncertainty Is the Real Weapon05:24 - 85% of Sellers At A Loss 10:21 - Affordability Index: The Metric That Predicts the Bottom16:58 - The 2018 15% Decline 18:09 - The $1 Trillion Wealth Wipeout 21:18 - Consumer Confidence, RBA Policy & Rate Cuts29:21 - Auction Clearance Rates33:04 - Spring 26: The Best Buying Window in 15 Years41:41 - Where Smart Money MovesAbout The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

He reveals exactly why falling borrowing capacity, poorly timed tax policy, and a looming recession are set to push property prices down by up to 10% across major capitals.The Australian real estate market has reached a dangerous inflection point. With the RBA at its highest cash rate in 15 years and investor borrowing capacity slashed by up to 30%, the widening gap between soaring property prices and the real capacity to pay cannot hold. The capital gains tax, property Australia reforms and negative gearing changes have landed at the worst possible moment, piling more downward pressure onto a market already at its cyclical peak.Australia is tracking dangerously close to New Zealand's trajectory, where identical policy changes triggered a sharp property crash before the incoming government reversed course. The 25-year supercycle of rising property values relative to incomes is likely over. Brisbane sits at its most overvalued level in 50 years relative to other capitals. The Melbourne property market is the cheapest major capital in 50 years. Consumer sentiment is near 50-year lows, construction costs are up 40% since the pandemic, and rental vacancy rates have hit their lowest point in recorded history.What you'll learn in this episode: ✅ Why Australia is heading for its biggest property correction in 40 years ✅ How capital gains tax and negative gearing changes have crushed investor borrowing capacity by up to 30%✅ The New Zealand precedent and what it signals for Australian property investment in 2025 ✅ Brisbane vs Melbourne: which capital is dangerously overvalued and which presents the hidden opportunity ✅ Why surging construction costs are deepening the rental crisis and stifling new supply ✅ What RBA rate cuts will and will not save for property investorsTimestamps:00:00 - Australia's Biggest Property Correction in 40 Years01:35 - Capital Gains Tax & Negative Gearing: The Policy Shock04:25 - The New Zealand Precedent12:21 - What Actually Moves Property Prices17:07 - Credit Availability & Borrowing Capacity Collapse19:14 - RBA Rate Cuts & Recession Risk24:29 - Brisbane vs Melbourne: Which Market Wins?33:15 - Is This Worse Than 2018?45:48 - Rental Crisis & Construction Collapse50:04 - Wrap Up & Part 2 PreviewFollow Leith Van Onselen:YouTube:  @Leithvo  Business: https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/About The Follio Property PodcastEach week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

National clearance rates have hit their lowest point since COVID. The trend has officially flipped and the data reveals exactly where the Australian housing market is heading next.Australia is now running a two-speed property market. Sydney recorded a 0.9% monthly price fall in May, the biggest decline in the country, with a median house price sitting at $1.25 million. Melbourne posted a 0.7% fall, with clearance rates struggling at 53%. At the same time, CBA has slashed its growth forecast from 5% down to 3% for 2026 and 2027, citing mounting pressure on Australia's two largest cities.But while Sydney and Melbourne softened, Perth surged 1.5%, Brisbane climbed 0.8%, and Adelaide added 0.7% in the same month. Understanding which side of this split you are on is the difference between building equity and getting trapped. Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the Follio Sentiment Index, surveying over 2,000 property investment Australia 2026 participants, and the results are clear. Confidence in WA jumped from 5.8 to 6.7 and Queensland from 5.6 to 6.7, while Sydney sits neutral. For those watching the Melbourne property market, units are now trading $200,000 below replacement cost with gross rental yields pushing 4.5%. As Warren Buffett put it: "Be greedy when others are fearful." With consumer confidence at a 50-year low and the RBA July meeting expected to hold, that window is right now.Here’s what we covered in this episode.✅ Why national auction clearance rates fell below 50% for the first time since COVID✅ Sydney's 0.9% monthly price fall and what it signals for homeowners and investors✅ CBA's revised forecast: 5% growth outlook cut to 3% for 2026 and 2027✅ Melbourne's hidden opportunity: 4.5% gross yields and units $200K below replacement costTimestamps:0:00 Auction Clearance Rates & Consumer Confidence0:52 Post-Budget Market Overview2:04 Big Bank Forecasts: CBA & Westpac2:48 Sydney & Melbourne Demand Signal4:48 CBA's Downgraded Forecast8:38 RBA Rate Decision Outlook11:11 Consumer Confidence at 50-Year Low11:40 Follio Sentiment Index15:12 WA & Queensland Confidence Rising20:49 Mortgage Prison & Distressed Sales23:27 Melbourne: Auction Rates & Price Decline26:28 Melbourne Rental Yields29:11 Where to Invest Now in AustraliaIf you are tracking the Australian real estate market and figuring out your next move, drop your city in the comments.

Property expert Josh Coleman joins the Follio Property Podcast to reveal exactly why the combination of budget policy changes, investor-heavy buyer pools, and the collapse of the "greater fool theory" is about to reset regional values across Australia.The Australian property market 2026 looks radically different for anyone holding regional assets compared to just 18 months ago. Josh Coleman maps out the risk profile of every major Queensland regional market using hard data. Markets like Gladstone and Mackay, where investor transactions dominate at over 70%, have been propped up by speculative buyer chains rather than genuine occupier demand.The housing market in Australia 2026 is not uniformly at risk.

Rents are about to surge 30%... and prices are about to explode.Negative gearing is gone. CGT is restructured. And if history repeats and the data says it will, the Australian property market is entering its most volatile period since 1985.In this episode, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty cut through the political noise with hard data and zero opinion. Drawing on $687M+ in real property transactions and two of the most powerful historical case studies in Australian real estate, the 1985 Hawke-Keating era and New Zealand's 2021 experiment, they reveal exactly who wins, who loses, and the only property investment strategy that survives Budget 2026.This isn't commentary. This is the data most property experts won't show you.The last time Australia scrapped negative gearing, rents surged 30% in capital cities within 2 years. Sydney and Brisbane prices jumped 60%. Perth hit 100%. New Zealand did the same in 2021, and rents rose 30% before the policy was reversed in 2023. The pattern is undeniable. For mum-and-dad investors relying on the old "buy, hold and hope" model, this budget is a wakeup call. The gap between sophisticated investors and passive ones just got significantly wider.

Capital gains tax on property in Australia now comes with a mandatory 30% minimum rate, replacing the old 50% discount with inflation-adjusted indexation. And for investors on a $150,000 salary? Your borrowing capacity just took a $350,000 hit.But here's what the headlines won't tell you: this budget doesn't kill Australian real estate investment, it reshapes it. Smart investors are already pivoting to units, infill developments, and the "accidental landlord" strategy that the budget accidentally made MORE powerful. Reece and Lachlan expose exactly where the opportunities are hiding, which markets are about to get smashed, and why the property market in Australia is about to split into two very different worlds, one for those who adapt, and one for those who don't.If you're a first-home buyer in Australia, a seasoned investor, or sitting on an existing portfolio, wondering what to do next, this is the most important 40 minutes you'll spend this year.In this episode, we’ll cover:✅ Why Labor's budget could slash your borrowing capacity by $200K-$700K✅ The END of negative gearing on established properties, what it really means✅ How the new 30% minimum capital gains tax rate targets retirees and self-funded investors00:00 The 3 Budget Changes That Hit Property Investors Hardest02:20 Grandfathering Rules Explained: Is Your Existing Property Safe?05:16 Who Are the Real Losers?

Are you one of the millions of Australians quietly drowning in mortgage debt and nobody is telling you the real reason why? In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, leading mortgage broker Chris Bates exposes the single lending mistake that locks Australian homeowners into financial traps for over a decade and what the government's tightening rules are quietly doing to your property investment future. If you own property in Australia, or plan to, this is the most important conversation you'll watch this year. The Australian property market is shifting fast, and the rules of real estate investing have changed dramatically. Borrowing capacity has collapsed from 14x income to just 5x, vacancy rates sit at a brutal 1%, and thousands of homeowners are now mortgage prisoners, trapped with lenders like Pepper Money and Liberty Financial, unable to refinance, unable to sell without losing everything. Chris Bates has spent his career advising homeowners, first home buyers, and seasoned investors on how to navigate one of the most complex home loan environments in Australian history.

But here's the twist most commentators are missing: while the majors clamp down, a shadow lending market is quietly writing the next chapter of Australia's debt story. Is this the calm before the collapse… or the smartest buying window of the decade? Watch to the end, Lachlan's call on what APRA does next in the May budget will reframe how you read every property headline for the rest of 2026.🎯 What's Covered In This Episode✅ Why the "two-speed economy" is about to become more exaggerated and which markets get crushed first ✅ The $3 BILLION mortgage fraud scandal hiding inside NAB, CBA, ANZ & Macquarie loan books ✅ How "everyday mum and dad investors" are falsifying payslips and bank statements with AI tools✅ NAB's bad debt forecast blowout and why Westpac and CBA are quietly mirroring the move ✅ The 25.3% explosion in non-bank lending vs just 3.9% growth from the Big Four ✅ Why Lachlan says today's lending data "reeks of 2007", the year before the GFC ✅ Investor credit growth at 1% in December, the highest since June 2007 ✅ APRA's likely next move: will interest-only investor loans get axed again like 2017? ✅ The May Budget threat: capital gains tax & negative gearing as the government's emergency levers ✅ How LVRs crept from 70% post-GFC to 95% with no LMI and why this is "debt out of control." ✅ The rise of second-tier, third-tier and private lenders now writing 18% of commercial debt ✅ What experienced investors are doing RIGHT NOW while everyone else freezes in fearTimestamps:04:21 The $3 Billion Mortgage Fraud Scandal06:21 Major Banks Brace for Impact08:15 The "2007" Warning Signal11:10 A Ghost of June 200712:30 The May Budget & Policy "Handbrake"13:23 The Perfect Storm (LVR Creep)Key Themes:🔸 The 2007 Parallel🔸 AI-Powered Mortgage Fraud🔸 Shadow Lending Boom🔸 Regulatory Whiplash Ahead🔸 Investor Psychology🔸 The Perfect Storm ThesisEach week, Reece Beddall & Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.
