🏡 RBA RAISES CASH RATE TO 4.60%

The Reserve Bank of Australia has increased the cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.60%, adding further pressure to Australian mortgage holders and the property market.

📉 At the same time, property values have been experiencing declines across several Australian markets, with Melbourne among the markets facing downward pressure. Recent Cotality data reported Melbourne dwelling values falling 1.1% in August and 4.7% over the year.

What does this mean for property owners and buyers?

🔹 Homeowners: Higher interest rates can increase mortgage repayments.
🔹 Buyers: Borrowing capacity may be affected, while changing prices may create different opportunities.
🔹 Investors: Cash flow, rental income and financing costs remain important considerations.
🔹 Sellers: Accurate pricing and understanding current local market conditions are more important than ever.

The Australian property market is changing — but every suburb and property can perform differently.

🏠 Significant Changes to Australian Property Investment: What You Need to Know!

The Australian Federal Government has just announced a major shake-up for property investors, set to take effect from 1 July 2027. The core goal is to shift investor focus toward increasing housing supply.

Here is a quick breakdown of the proposed reforms:

1 Negative Gearing (Abolished for Established Properties): Negative gearing will be restricted. Only newly built homes will be eligible for this tax benefit. Established residential properties purchased after 7:30 PM (AEST) on 12 May 2026 will no longer allow investors to offset rental losses against their salary or other non-property income. Instead, these losses must be quarantined to offset future rental income or capital gains.

2 Capital Gains Tax (50% Discount Scrapped): The universal 50% CGT discount will be replaced with a revised Cost Base Indexation model. A minimum 30% tax rate will also apply to capital gains. New builds will have a carve-out, allowing investors to choose between the indexation model or the original 50% CGT discount.

3 Grandfathering Provisions: If you already own an investment property or signed a contract before the 12 May 2026 deadline, your current tax treatment is grandfathered and will not change.

What this means for you: This represents the most significant change to the property tax landscape in decades. It will reshape how investors select properties and calculate long-term returns.

As your ProMax Australian Realtor, I am here to help you navigate these changes and identify the best strategies for your portfolio. Don’t navigate these waters alone.

📈 RBA Cash Rate Update – What It Means for Property Buyers & Homeowners

The Reserve Bank of Australia has lifted the cash rate by another 25 basis points, bringing it to 4.35% as the fight against inflation continues.

While this increase was widely anticipated, it also signals that interest rate relief may take longer than many Australians were hoping for. Higher borrowing costs continue to impact household budgets, buyer confidence, and lending capacity across the property market.

At PROMAX – AUSTRALIAN Realtor, we understand that changing market conditions can feel uncertain. However, opportunities still exist for informed buyers, sellers, and investors who stay ahead of the market.
