Everyone seems to be focused on tax changes, interest rates, and the latest policy announcements. But in my view, they’re overlooking the biggest factor shaping Australia’s property market: our growing housing supply shortage.
On the latest episode of The Pure Property Podcast, I sit down with Phil Tarrant to unpack why the real challenge isn’t negative gearing, interest rates, or investor sentiment—it’s the ongoing imbalance between the number of homes being built and the number of people who need them.
We also discuss the proposed changes to residential property borrowing through Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) and why I believe these reforms could have unintended consequences for housing supply, particularly by reducing demand for new apartment developments.
Beyond the headlines, I explain why I continue to believe that long-term strategy, sensible leverage, and identifying value-add opportunities remain some of the most effective ways to build wealth through property.
Finally, I share why I launched Toolbox Talks—a new initiative designed to help tradies and everyday Australians better understand property investing and create wealth beyond their weekly income.
If you’re looking beyond the headlines and want to understand what’s really driving the market, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
