THE PURE PROPERTY PODCAST: How trade tensions and taxes are shaping the property market
In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop explore how broader economic forces, such as trade tensions and government taxes, impact the property market.
The duo starts the conversation by discussing how international trade tensions, such as US tariffs on Australian beef, might impact the broader economy and affect the property market, encouraging investors to concentrate on what they can control to prevent frustration.
The hosts then analyse new CoreLogic data indicating that residential property values have reached record highs, mainly fuelled by growth in affordable markets like Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.
Melbourne, once underperforming, is now showing signs of recovery, offering opportunities for strategic investors despite an increase in taxes and regulations.
The pair also discuss how future interest rate cuts and changes to lending serviceability could improve borrowing capacity and boost market activity.
