Is the Australian housing crisis a failure of government policy? Shadow Housing Minister Andrew Bragg says yes, and he brings the numbers. $10 billion spent, 17 homes built, and close to $80 billion in new taxes that he argues are shutting down housing supply across the Australian property market. Get Access to PropStac 👉 https://propstac.com.au?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_108 Looking to invest 👉 https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_108 In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty sit down with Senator Andrew Bragg to look at what's really behind the housing crisis in Australia. Australia needs about 250,000 new homes a year but is on track to build only 170,000. Meanwhile, 1.5 million people have arrived in four years against just 500,000 homes built. Bragg explains why negative gearing and capital gains tax changes could push rents up and investors out. He also says first home buyers in Australia are falling into negative equity under the 5% deposit scheme, and that builder insolvencies point to a broken system. If you're a property investor, a first home buyer, or a homeowner trying to read where real estate in Australia goes next, this conversation shows the risks the mainstream narrative is missing. What we cover: ✅ Why $80 billion in new property taxes could cut housing supply by 35,000 homes ✅ The negative gearing and CGT changes that could hit investors and push rents higher ✅ Why first home buyer applications are down 20 to 30% and many buyers face negative equity ✅ How a 2,000-page building code adds about $70,000 to the cost of a new home ✅ Why Bragg wants migration of 170,000 to 180,000 a year to match housing supply ✅ The Coalition's plan to roll back taxes and deregulate construction Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: Senator Andrew Bragg on housing 01:24 His view on the budget and the property market since 05:40 On supply, demand and migration 11:00 The Liberal Party's position and rebuilding confidence 16:00 Inside the construction code and build costs 19:40 Construction productivity and union influence 25:00 Super funds, self-managed super and housing 32:20 Migration levels and demand-side measures 36:00 Quick fire: supply, negative gearing and super for housing Follow Senator Andrew Bragg: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braggsenator Profile: https://www.andrewbragg.com/ About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

From there it's the full round the grounds: national prices down 1.1% for the month, Sydney down 1.4%, Melbourne holding up best of the majors at 0.7%, and Brisbane leading the falls at 1.5%, which annualises to figures that would mark the sharpest downturn on record. Lachlan explains why Brisbane and Perth still have a cushion the headline numbers miss, strong employment, high wages and tight vacancy, and why Perth and Darwin are the only two capitals not yet at their affordability ceiling. They cover why Melbourne's entry-level market is being propped up by owner-occupiers and investors competing head to head ahead of the state election, why investor-driven markets like Darwin and Hobart carry more risk, the drop in building approvals across New South Wales and Queensland against a 24% jump in South Australia, and why the two-speed market has fractured into many different speeds.

With 10-20% price falls, rising interest rates, and Sydney and Melbourne leading the downturn, investors and first-home buyers are asking the same question: is now an okay time to buy, or should you wait?

Twelve months ago we called a handful of Melbourne suburbs for growth. Today those picks are up more than 6% while the wider Melbourne market fell close to 10%, a swing of around 16%. Lachlan Delahunty explains why they held up, and where the value is heading into 2027. Get Access To PropStac 👉 https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_105 Looking to Invest in Melbourne 👉 https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_105 Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty revisit the Melbourne suburb predictions they made on the podcast a year ago and grade their own calls. Despite a year of rate rises, trust lending changes, debt-to-income caps and the budget's negative gearing changes, the suburbs they backed have outperformed their long-term growth rates, while the ones they warned against have flatlined. Lachlan explains the fundamentals behind the difference: landlocked suburbs with limited new supply, owner-occupier rates above 80 to 90%, strong school catchments, and infrastructure spending per person well above the state and national average, versus the investor-saturated, oversupplied fringe estates where new build product keeps dragging values down. He then looks ahead to 2027, why the sub one million dollar bracket is the sweet spot as first home buyers and investors compete in the same price point, what the proposed Victorian stamp duty and land tax changes could mean if they come in, why cash flow now matters more since the negative gearing changes, and why asset selection, not just the right suburb, is where most investors go wrong. This is general information, not personal advice, and reflects the hosts' views. Every situation is different, so speak to a professional about yours. What we cover: ✅ How our Melbourne suburb calls from 12 months ago actually performed ✅ Why the picks beat the wider market by around 16% ✅ The fundamentals behind the suburbs that held: supply, owner-occupiers, schools, infrastructure ✅ Why the investor-saturated fringe estates flatlined ✅ Why new build product keeps dragging down fringe values ✅ Why the sub one million dollar bracket is the sweet spot into 2027 ✅ What proposed Victorian stamp duty and land tax changes could mean ✅ Why cash flow matters more since the negative gearing changes ✅ Why asset selection, not just the suburb, is where investors go wrong ✅ Why less than 5% of inspected properties pass Follio's due diligence ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Intro: reviewing our Melbourne predictions 01:40 Markets within markets: what the headlines miss 02:40 The suburbs we backed, and how they performed 04:20 The suburbs we warned against, and why 06:00 Why quality locations held through the macro shocks 08:00 The investor belt, serviceability and the sweet spot 10:00 Why asset selection is where most investors go wrong 13:00 The Victorian election and proposed policy changes 15:00 What Lachlan is buying now: cash flow and fundamentals 16:40 Using PropStack to compare suburbs yourself About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Most of the headlines treat Australian property as one market that's all falling at the same pace. Lachlan Delahunty breaks down the seven forces that actually drive property values, and why they explain exactly which markets are protected and which are not. Get Access to PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_102 Discuss Your Portfolio 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_102 Australia's residential market has wiped nearly a trillion dollars in value in six months, with high interest rates at 4.35% cash rate and a 20-30% drop in lending crushing borrowing capacity. But this is not one market, it's markets within markets. In this episode, we unpack the 7 key forces shaping property values right now: interest rates, credit availability, tax and policy, income and employment, sentiment expectations, supply and affordability, and external shocks. You'll learn why Sydney and Melbourne remain most sensitive to rate rises and face continued declines, why Brisbane and Adelaide are declining at a slower pace despite hitting affordability peaks, and why Perth, Darwin and Canberra are protected in 2026 thanks to severe supply shortfalls, jobs growth and high incomes. Plus: why low consumer sentiment could mean the best opportunities for sophisticated investors, and why major government intervention to stimulate credit and policy is likely in 2027. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✅ Why the Australian property market will continue to fall for the rest of 2026, but less aggressively ✅ The 7 forces driving house prices: rates, credit, tax, jobs, sentiment, supply & shocks ✅ Sydney property market vs Melbourne: why headlines will focus here ✅ Why Perth property, Darwin and Canberra are holding up (32,800 home shortfall in Perth) ✅ Brisbane property, Adelaide outlook and affordability peaks explained ✅ Property investment Australia strategy when sentiment is at historic lows ✅ What 2027 government stimulus could mean for rents, prices and your portfolio Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: the seven forces and the 2026 outlook 03:25 Interest rates and borrowing capacity 06:18 Credit availability 12:34 Tax and policy, national and state 16:06 Income, employment and population 18:58 Sentiment and the affordability index 26:26 Supply and the housing shortfall 28:03 External shocks 30:40 The 2026 outlook, market by market About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Every capital city fell last week, except one submarket. Melbourne units are the only market in the country Cotalit y has showing growth, and Lachlan Delahunty explains exactly why, plus a real portfolio breakdown showing what to sell and what to buy in this environment. Get Access to PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_101 Get In Touch 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_101 For property owners, the danger isn't the fall itself. It's the cash buffer. Holding less than a 5% buffer puts you on a knife's edge the moment financial stress hits, because that's when banks start looking to reclaim properties. Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty argue that waiting 12 to 18 months in a downturn is the worst move available, buyer pools thin out and price haircuts of 30 to 40% become the norm, not the exception. For anyone doing property investment in Australia, this is the numbers-first conversation most investors avoid right up until the bank forces it. We go city by city across the Australian property market: why Melbourne is the only capital improving on the four-week rolling average, what's dragging Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth lower, why [Melbourne units] keep beating houses on the replacement cost argument, and how the shift away from auctions is changing how vendors negotiate in a soft market. Plus the difference between wholesale and retail unit purchases, how a 5.5%+ yield can turn a negatively geared property portfolio into one that pays for itself in the current interest rates environment, and what a pre-Christmas rate rise would do to prices into 2027. What we cover in this Episode: ✅ Know your numbers before the market makes you: debt, true equity, debt-to-income and cash-to-debt ✅ Why a 2% cash buffer puts you one rate rise away from a forced sale, and the 10% floor that protects you ✅ Which regional assets go first, and what happens when investor demand leaves Townsville and Gladstone ✅ The FOMO-stage exit rule: why holding too long costs 30–40%, not 10–15% ✅ Selling with a tenant vs vacant, and which buyer pool you're actually pitching ✅ Commercial at 5.5%+ vs high-yield residential: which fits a cash-flow-negative portfolio ✅ Wholesale vs retail units: how buying a whole complex in one line lands a discount ✅ Why land exposure beats "air space" in a 200-unit tower ✅ Melbourne units trading $300K–$500K below replacement cost, and what that means for capital growth ✅ The two-speed economy and the 2009 playbook for what happens when rates fall Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: the portfolio and the market update 04:00 A real composite portfolio, broken down 05:51 Which two properties to sell, and why 11:20 Sell now or wait, and with or without a tenant 15:52 What to buy instead: commercial or Melbourne units 16:47 Wholesale versus retail units explained 19:51 Melbourne units: the only market still growing 21:29 Auction clearance and the shift to private treaty 24:00 Units versus apartments: what to actually buy 29:42 The two-speed market and the rate outlook About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

Negative gearing is often framed as a tax break for the wealthy. Accountant Nathan Hood points to ATO data suggesting the opposite: around 70% of negative gearing claims come from people with a single property, and two-thirds of those earn under $80,000 a year. Access PropStac 👉: https://follio.com.au/propstac-waitlist?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_100 Get In Touch 👉: https://follio.com.au/contact-us?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode_100 Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty bring accountant Nathan Hood back to the podcast to work through what the budget changes actually mean for how you structure and hold property. Nathan explains who the changes hurt most, why the days of simple property investing are over, and why getting the right advice now matters more than it used to. They cover the property versus shares debate and why property has always been a debt game, where the real opportunities sit after the changes, across the main residence exemption, company structures and self-managed super, and why capital gains indexation replacing the 50% discount makes flipping property far less attractive. Nathan also explains why many investors will need a fresh valuation sooner rather than later, how a higher valuation can save tens of thousands in tax, and why the old buy-and-move-in strategy has given way to a retain-and-subdivide approach in blue chip suburbs. This is general information, not personal, tax or financial advice, and reflects the guest's and hosts' views. Everyone's situation is different, so speak to a qualified professional about yours. What we cover: ✅ Why the ATO data suggests negative gearing mostly benefits single-property owners ✅ Who the budget changes actually hurt most ✅ Property versus shares, the debt game, and how margin calls really work ✅ Where the opportunities are: main residence, company structures and super ✅ The new deductible versus non-deductible debt strategy ✅ Company and trust structures after the budget, and who they suit ✅ Why CGT indexation replacing the 50% discount makes flipping far less viable ✅ Why you may need a property valuation now, and how it saves tax ✅ The unintended SMSF shift the changes created ✅ The retain-and-subdivide strategy replacing the old approach Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: returning guest Nathan Hood 04:14 The negative gearing myth: who really claims it 07:14 Property versus shares: the debt game 10:53 Margin calls and why property debt works differently 12:26 Where the opportunities are: main residence, company, super 17:14 The new debt strategy: deductible versus non-deductible 20:08 Company and trust structures after the budget 23:52 CGT indexation versus the 50% discount: why flipping is dead 26:07 Why you need a valuation now, and how to get it right 31:30 SMSF and the retain-and-subdivide strategy Follow Nathan Hood: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanhoodperth/ Business: https://carbongroup.com.au/ About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.

From slashing a dangerous debt to income ratio to turning a cash flow drain into a self-funded asset, this episode shows how sophisticated investors reposition for long-term capital growth. Lachlan breaks down the numbers behind two very different investors: a six-property portfolio bleeding cash on regional assets, and a young Sydney couple trying to upgrade their family home. He explains how to read a debt to income ratio, when negative gearing stops making sense, and why he would pull equity out of Brisbane and Adelaide blue-chip assets to reposition into the Melbourne property market. If you are weighing capital growth against cash flow, this is the framework to make the call. What you'll learn: ✅ Why a 3% cash buffer and a 5.8x debt to income ratio is a danger zone, and how to fix it ✅ When to divest regional properties and which blue-chip assets to keep ✅ How a Melbourne unit complex delivered a 6.5% yield and a $600k equity uplift on day one ✅ The case for selling everything to upgrade a Sydney family home, and when to hold instead ✅ How to push your portfolio harder with a bigger cash buffer and higher cash flow Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: a strategy episode for experienced investors 02:48 Scenario one: reviewing a $5.5 million portfolio 05:24 The warning signs: debt-to-income and cash buffers 08:20 Why the advice was to sell the regionals 13:34 The Melbourne unit complex: $600K equity from day one 16:39 Cash flow forecasting and retirement income 18:00 Scenario two: a young Sydney family's portfolio 19:23 Sell everything and upgrade in Sydney now 22:55 The alternative strategy if you're not upgrading 27:01 Is this portfolio enough to retire on?

Several buyer's agencies have collapsed in the past few weeks, and more are likely to follow. Lachlan Delahunty explains why it's happening, what separates the firms going under from the ones that will survive, and how to tell the difference before you hand anyone your money.

They talk through what actually makes a buyer's agency worth trusting, and why strategy matters far more than sales. Then into the seven-day market update across every capital. Sydney has now fallen for 14 consecutive weeks and is on track to approach the sharpest annual decline in 40 years, though the severity is starting to moderate and auction clearance rates are quietly recovering. Melbourne is falling more slowly, with its sub one million dollar market posting positive movement even as the top end drops. Brisbane's decline is accelerating into a wave of new supply, Adelaide is picking up pace against a backdrop of outbound migration, and Perth is still up strongly for the year despite its first back-to-back weekly falls. The episode closes on why the two-speed market is becoming a six or seven-speed one, and why knowing your local market has never mattered more. ✅ Why several buyer's agencies have collapsed and more are expected to ✅ The difference between a sales-led agency and a strategy-led one ✅ Why Lachlan sees an industry reset as overdue and healthy ✅ How to choose a buyer's agency you can actually trust ✅ Why both doomsayers and optimists think Follio is biased, and what that says ✅ Sydney's 14 straight weekly falls and the 40-year record it's approaching ✅ Why Melbourne's sub one million dollar market is holding up ✅ Brisbane's accelerating decline and the oversupply building behind it ✅ Adelaide, migration and the affordability ceiling ✅ Why the two-speed market is becoming a six-speed one Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: industry news and the weekly market update 01:38 Doomsayers versus optimists: why we get both 03:15 Markets within markets 07:34 Buying conditions: when is the right time to buy 10:42 The buyer's agency shakeout and how to pick one 16:41 Why the industry needs a reset 19:08 Market update: Sydney's 14th straight weekly fall 22:08 Melbourne, and the sub one million dollar market 24:46 Brisbane, and the oversupply building behind it 27:19 Perth, plus Adelaide and the six-speed outlook 29:15 Why the market is fracturing into many speeds About The Follio Property Podcast Each week, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down the biggest conversations shaping Australian property.
