This month weโ€™re focusing on the trending Vacancy Rate (VR).

The vacancy rate monitors the balance of supply and demand in the rental market, which can be a precursor to positive or negative price growth.

An increasing VR demonstrates a surplus of supply and/or a lack of population to absorb the supply. The converse is also true - a decreasing vacancy rate signals insufficient stock that the population is rapidly absorbing. This trend will eventually make its way into the buying/selling market.

VR is just one of many metrics we use to assess short and long term price movement.

One of the most common reactions from investors this week has been:
โ€œIโ€™ve lost the tax break.โ€

In reality, the deduction hasnโ€™t disappeared. The mechanism for using it has changed.

Under the proposed rules, losses on established residential property purchased after 1 July 2027 can still be applied in several ways:
โ€ข Offset against positively geared residential property within a portfolio
โ€ข Carried forward against future rental income once the property becomes positively geared
โ€ข Carried forward against CGT on future residential property disposals

A simple example from our research division highlights the point:

One property produces +$24,000 in income. Another records a $16,000 loss.

Under the old rules, the loss offsets salary income. Under the proposed rules, it offsets the positively geared property income instead.

Net tax outcome? Identical.

The deduction still exists. It has simply shifted from one income source to another.

For investors with a well-structured portfolio, the practical impact may be materially different from the public narrative.
