The budget didn't kill property investing. It just moved the advantage.

New builds keep full negative gearing. Investors can still offset losses against salary income. New builds also give investors the choice between the 50% CGT discount or the new indexation method when they sell. Established properties bought after 12 May don't get that choice.

Perth's new build pipeline, particularly in growth corridors like South Lake, Byford, Wandi, and the southern suburbs, is positioned well for exactly this kind of investor demand.

Perth property hasn't collapsed after every budget scare. Here's why and what's actually worth watching now.

Perth is still undersupplied. Vacancy rates remain historically low. Population growth hasn't slowed. These fundamentals don't change because of one budget announcement.

What is changing: some investors holding established properties are now listing. That's creating more stock and more opportunity for buyers who are ready.

For sellers: the window to achieve a strong price with less competition is now. Don't wait for the dust to settle.

For buyers: more listings are coming. But quality properties in strong locations won't sit around.

For investors: your strategy just became more important than your tax structure.

Perth rewards people who think clearly in noisy times.

Cottage Charm Meets Modern Freedom. ✨

Some people spend years searching for a home that just makes sense.

This is it. 🔑

This property isn't trying to be everything to everyone. It's a smart, considered, single-storey home on a cottage block. Charming at the front, practical at the back, and effortless in between. 🏡

Just imagine pulling in through the rear lane, into your own double garage, closing the door behind you, and knowing: this is mine.

Capital gains tax just got a rewrite.

Here's what it means for your investment property — in plain English.

Right now, if you sell an investment property you've held for more than 12 months, you only pay tax on half your gain. That's the 50% CGT discount most investors are used to.

From July 2027, that changes. Instead of the 50% discount, you'll only be taxed on your real gain after inflation. For properties with strong capital growth — like most in Perth — the tax bill could be higher.

The good news: if you already own, your gains before July 2027 are still fully protected under current rules.

If you're holding an investment property and wondering whether now is the time to sell, it's worth getting clear on your numbers before the rules shift.
