🏛️ BUDGET WATCH — the 2026–27 Federal Budget is one of the biggest for property in years. Here's what actually matters.
First home buyers: the 5% deposit scheme continues (5% down, no LMI), the foreign-buyer ban on existing homes is extended, and a record $47B is going into housing supply.
Investors (proposed, from 1 July 2027): negative gearing limited to new builds, and the 50% CGT discount replaced with indexation plus a 30% minimum on real gains. Existing investments held before 12 May 2026 are grandfathered.
The smart read isn't panic — it's planning. Most changes don't start until 2027.
