If you've been trying to get into the market as an owner-occupier, the recent federal budget had some genuinely encouraging news.
Changes to negative gearing mean investors will have less of a tax advantage. A $2 billion infrastructure commitment is set to unlock 65,000 new homes. And the foreign buyer ban on existing properties has been extended to 2029.
It's not a silver bullet, but it's a step in the right direction for anyone who's felt locked out of the market.

The luxury market isn’t slowing… it’s evolving.
Across Australia, we’re seeing confidence return in a more measured way. Buyers are more considered, sellers more strategic, and the definition of “luxury” is no longer confined to a single postcode or price point.
What does this means 👇
The insights shaping the top end are now flowing through every level of the market.
From Perth’s sustained growth to Queensland’s coastal surge, the shift isn’t temporary, it’s structural. Where people choose to live, how they define value, and what they’re willing to pay for it is changing in real time.
If you’re buying, it’s about understanding where opportunity is emerging.
If you’re selling, it’s about positioning in a market that rewards precision, not assumption.
Our Luxury Outlook report breaks it all down, not just for the top 1%, but for anyone serious about where the market is heading next.

Is the market changing, or just recalibrating?
April shows momentum easing, but this is a shift in pace, not a loss of opportunity.
What you need to know:
👉 House prices still increased by+0.4% in April, with apartments up +0.3%, proving growth hasn’t disappeared, it’s just more measured.
👉Smaller cities like Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide continue to perform, with strong annual growth still holding.
👉Sydney and Melbourne have softened slightly, with prices declining as buyer activity eases and listings increase.
👉More listings and lower urgency mean buyers have more choice, while sellers who price and position well are still being rewarded.
And the fundamentals remain firmly in place, tight supply, rising construction costs, and strong population growth. This isn’t a market going backwards; it’s one becoming more sustainable, more strategic, and still an opportunity on both sides.
