The other side of real estate looks like this.

10/11/2026

Australian mortgage demand has dropped 19.2% over the past year, hitting its lowest level since October 2022.

First home buyers are feeling the pressure most, with demand falling 22.1%, while investor mortgage demand has declined 18%.

High interest rates, rising living costs and strict lending assessments are making Australians more cautious about taking on debt.

On the buying side of the market, understanding your borrowing capacity and having a clear strategy is more important than ever.

The RBA has increased the cash rate from 4.60% to 4.85%, marking the fifth rise this year and taking rates to their highest level since 2008.

With inflation remaining above target, the latest decision adds further pressure to mortgage repayments and borrowing capacity.

While interest rates are an important factor, local market knowledge and the right selling strategy remain just as valuable.

Whether you're considering selling or simply keeping an eye on your property's value, we're here to help you navigate every side of the market.

Capital gains tax rules are changing from 1 July 2027.

Under the new system, investors will be taxed on the above-inflation gain of an asset, replacing the current 50% CGT discount.

Newly built homes will be exempt from the change, with investors able to choose between the two systems.

For property investors, it’s another reason to understand the potential tax implications before buying or selling.

A house-and-land package can look straightforward, but there’s more to consider than the advertised price.

✅ Location: Consider access to schools, shops, transport and amenities.
✅ The block: Size, slope, orientation and soil conditions can all impact building costs.
✅ What’s included: Display homes often feature upgrades that aren’t part of the standard package.
✅ The builder: Check licensing, insurance, previous projects and construction timelines.
✅ The contract: Understand the plans, warranties, specifications and potential variations before signing.

Looking at every side before committing can help you make a more informed decision.

A 1% difference in your home loan rate could mean $10,000 a year on every $1 million borrowed.

With lenders competing for borrowers, experts suggest reviewing your mortgage every 6 to 12 months to make sure it still works for you.

But the rate is only one side of the equation. Your loan structure, property value and available equity can all influence your refinancing options and potentially your next property move.
