Sort your property out - John Pidgeon

More homes for sale, fewer buyers, and homes taking longer to sell. The Australian property market just handed buyers something they haven’t had in years: 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.⏳

Homes are taking 39 days to sell in the capitals, up from 23 a year ago. Vendor discounts are at a five-year high. That’s room to ask for a building & pest inspection, a finance clause, and a better price and better terms.

But nobody can promise you prices won’t fall further. 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.

So the buyers who come out ahead in this market will be the prepared ones:
✔️ They know their ceiling before they walk in
✔️ They make clean, conditional offers
✔️ They’re willing to walk away

New headlines. New tax changes. New budget. New borrowing rules.📰

And through all of it, John’s message to investors is simple👇

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲.🎯

No matter what the headline says, no matter what’s shifting around you - you always take it back to your strategy. That’s the anchor. The noise comes and goes; your plan is what keeps you steady. 🧭

That’s exactly why we keep coming back to the 𝟴-𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 from John’s book.📖

Because here’s the thing about the fundamentals: 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. Not through booms, not through busts, not through a single budget. The principles that build wealth through property are the same today as they’ve always been.💪

When everyone else is panic-reacting to the latest change, the smart move is to go back to basics - the timeless framework that works regardless of what’s in the news this week.

Chaos on the outside doesn’t mean you abandon the plan. It means you trust it more.✅

Love at first inspection is exactly what the styling is designed for. 💘

Fresh paint, soft lighting, a candle burning in every room… open homes are set up to make you fall for them in 30 minutes. That’s how you end up skipping questions you’d never skip anywhere else.

So treat it like a dating profile:
🚩 One freshly painted wall? Look up, look behind, ask why.
🚩 No one can say why they’re selling? Ask again.
🚩 Every window open and air freshener everywhere? Ask what you’re not meant to smell.
💚 Building & pest reports handed over upfront? A vendor with nothing to hide.
💚 A price that matches what’s sold on the street? That’s a good sign.
💚 You’ve read the suburb data before you walk in? Biggest green flag of all.

What’s the biggest red flag you’ve ever spotted at an open home? Tell us below 👇
And send this to the friend who falls in love with every listing.

📊 Read the profile before the first date. Our Property & Suburb Reports cover sales history, an estimated price range, what’s sold nearby and how the suburb is really moving. Each one comes with 15 minutes with John to read it with you. Link in bio.

“Lots of interest on this one. Offers by Friday.” 😳

If you’ve ever been to an open home, you’ve heard it. It’s the oldest line in real estate, and it works, because it turns a calm buyer into a panicked one in about four seconds.

Sam heard it and wanted to offer 40k over on the spot. Their friend heard it and asked three questions first:
🔹 How many homes have sold nearby?
🔹 How long has this one been listed?
🔹 What did it sell for last time?

Then they asked the agent what range the other offers were in. Same open home, same agent, same sentence, and two very different outcomes. 👀

Urgency is a seller’s tactic. Data is a buyer’s tactic.

Sort Your Property Out shows you exactly what to check, what to ask and how to make an offer by private treaty or at auction. That way you’re not negotiating against your own nerves. 📖

That “little bit more” on your dream home? It might cost you 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.😳

It’s the trap almost everyone falls into👇

You see something just above budget. You stretch. Suddenly you’ve paid $300k more than you planned - and the real price of that isn’t the mortgage repayment. It’s the five extra years you’ll be working to pay it off.📉

That’s the flow-on effect nobody runs the numbers on.

Now - there’s no right or wrong here. If upgrading is what you want, do it. But John’s whole point is: 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻.👀

Which means sitting down and actually asking:

💰 What’s our max spend?
⏳ How quickly can we pay the mortgage down?
📊 How much will we have in super in 8–10 years?
🎯 How much will we still be working at 60?

And here’s the honest bit from John himself: he’s 49, working hard now - and he says he can’t be certain he’ll want to (or be able to) keep that pace at 60. None of us can.🧠

So before you stretch for the bigger home, make sure you understand what you’re trading for it. The best decision is the one you’ve actually thought all the way through.

“If you bought an established investment property after 7:30pm on 12 May 2026, your tax maths has already changed. You just haven’t felt it yet. 👇

The negative gearing and capital gains tax changes are now law. From 1 July 2027, rental losses on established homes bought after Budget night generally can’t be offset against your wage income. On the same date, the 50% CGT discount is replaced by inflation indexation plus a 30% minimum tax on future gains.

✅ Already owned before Budget night? You’re grandfathered.
✅ Buying an eligible new build? Full negative gearing still applies.
⚠️ Buying an established property now? This is the one the new rules apply to.

That’s what most investors are missing. The property you buy this year will be held under the new rules, so buying “the way everyone used to” is now the risk.

Before you sign, ask:
🔹 Does this still work without a tax deduction?
🔹 Is it cash-flow positive, or close?
🔹 New vs established: what do the numbers actually say?

The Property Analyser Calculator lets you change the interest rate, vacancy, fees and depreciation, and shows you the real before- and after-tax cost on up to 5 properties. It’s a one-off purchase, and it’s yours forever. 🧮
