Landscaping is an important part of presenting a house for sale. As buyers agents, we appreciate good landscaping but can also assign “fair value” based on the type of clients we are representing (owner occupiers or investors), the quality of the work done and the equivalent cost to do the work ourselves.

The property buying landscape in Australia has shifted after Tuesday’s 2026 Budget release.

We have been interpreting the new updates this week and revising our buying strategies moving forward. Change can also bring opportunity!

Main changes:

- Negative gearing restricted to new builds only from 1 July 2027 for properties purchased after Budget night (12 May 2026). Existing investments are grandfathered.

- 50% Capital Gains Tax discount effectively scrapped and replaced with inflation/cost-base indexation plus a proposed 30% minimum tax on capital gains from July 2027.

Initial thoughts:

- Home buyers are unaffected. Strong demand from this sector will continue. Investor demand will change.

- New builds will attract a lot of investor attention but asset selection is critical due to developer premiums and oversupply.

- Long term buy and holds are less affected as CGT indexation will still provide CGT discounts (10yr+ hold).

- Preferred buying structure may change as it becomes more interesting to purchase under a company.

- SMSF buying is highly interesting as these structures are unaffected - we buy many properties in SMSF structure for clients already.

- Higher yields and commercial property are interesting as they don’t lose as much from new negative gearing rules.

- Make sure to review your borrowing capacity as banks are already taking the changes into account.

Out and about inspecting today for clients! There has been a little bit of uncertainty in the market the last few weeks due to the ongoing Iran war, giving buyers a little more power in negotiations compared with earlier in the year.

School holidays the last couple of weeks has also meant open homes have been a little quieter.
