The real estate chat today isn’t “will prices go up?”, it’s “what rules are we playing by next?”

If you want the no-BS version of today’s real estate headlines, here it is: the biggest movement isn’t a single suburb going bananas, it’s the 'mood of the country shifting on housing policy.

Fresh polling reported today shows a majority of Australians are now backing a shake-up to investor tax concessions (think negative gearing and the CGT discount), and they want more government focus (and funding) pushed into public/community housing. Whether you love that idea or hate it, it’s a big deal because it signals something simple: the political appetite for change is growing. And when that happens, the market doesn’t wait for legislation to pass, people start adjusting behaviour early. Investors start asking harder questions. Owner-occupiers start watching for any sign competition might ease. Everyone starts second-guessing timing.

Now layer in the other “quiet” headline that matters to agents: the portals are getting more competitive, with Domain (now CoStar-backed) taking a swing at REA on pricing and market share. Translation? Marketing costs and value are about to get looked at under a microscope. If you’re an agent or business owner, the winners won’t be the loudest, they’ll be the ones who can clearly explain: where the leads came from, what converted, and what it actually cost to win the listing.

My takeaway for Tassie sellers and buyers (especially in the affordable-to-mid range where most of the action is): don’t get sucked into the headline panic cycle. Instead, get your facts straight:

- If you’re selling: price + presentation + strategy still beat “hope” every day of the week.

- If you’re buying: understand who you’re competing against (first-home buyers vs investors vs upsizers) and what might change that mix over the next 6–12 months.

Housing is emotional, I get it. But the steadier you stay, the better decisions you make.

Keen to hear it: if investor tax settings changed tomorrow, what do you think would happen first, prices, rents, or investor activity?

If your home has had a stack of inspections and still no offer, that’s not “waiting for the right buyer”. That’s feedback.

My simple rule: once you’re around 13 groups through with no serious bite, the market is telling you one of two things:
- Price is ahead of perception, or
- Presentation is letting it down (so buyers can’t justify the number in their head)

And here’s the part most people miss: the longer you sit, the more buyers start assuming there’s a “reason” it hasn’t sold, even when there isn’t.

If this helps, save it for later. If you want a straight read on your situation (Hobart + Eastern Shore), DM me your home and your price guide and I’ll tell you what I’d fix first.

Selling your home is personal, so if the marketing feels a bit… familiar, it probably is.

Your place deserves a plan built for *your* house and *your* street, not recycled lines or marketing strategies.

If you want the original "Think it. Know it. Own it."

DM “ORIGINAL” and I’ll send a no‑BS guide on how we go about selling your home.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has lifted the cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.85%, citing ongoing concern that inflation remains above its 2–3% target.

While the increase sounds small, it has real impacts across the property market.

Homeowners:
Most banks are expected to pass on the full rise to variable-rate loans. On a $600,000 mortgage, this typically adds around $90–$100 per month. Fixed-rate borrowers won’t see an immediate change, but many rolling off fixed rates this year will face significantly higher repayments. Reviewing loan structures and negotiating rates has become increasingly important.

Buyers:
Higher rates reduce borrowing capacity, sometimes by tens of thousands of dollars. This may force buyers to adjust expectations or delay purchasing. That said, demand remains resilient in our market.

Sellers:
Rising rates can soften buyer sentiment, particularly among first-home buyers. However, low housing supply continues to support prices. Well-presented, well-located homes are still attracting solid interest, but accurate pricing matters more than ever.

Renters:
Rate rises don’t directly increase rents, but higher landlord costs and fewer buyers can add pressure in already tight rental markets, keeping rents elevated.

Bottom line:
This rise is a reminder that interest rates may stay higher for longer. Understanding how it affects your position helps you make clearer property decisions.

Driving between open homes on a Saturday and the energy is INSANE. First home buyer grants just jumped from $10K to $30K, and my database is FULL of motivated buyers looking for quality homes under $700K.

If you've got a well-presented home in that sweet spot - Bellerive, Howrah, Rokeby, Clarendon Vale - now is THE time to sell. We could be talking days, not weeks.

Chances are I've already got your buyer waiting. Don't leave money on the table - let's talk about an off-market opportunity.

The cash rate will remain on hold until at least February while the Reserve Bank continues grappling with an inflation surge and an accelerating economy.

The RBA confirmed the decision at its final meeting of the year, aligning to market expectations by holding steady for the third month in a row.

“As expected, the RBA held the cash rate steady at 3.60%,” REA Group senior economist Eleanor Creagh said.

In its post-meeting statement, the RBA board said recent data suggest the risks to inflation have "tilted to the upside", but said it will take a little longer to assess the persistence of inflationary pressures.

"The board therefore judged that it was appropriate to remain cautious, updating its view of the outlook as the data evolve," The RBA said.

Households with a mortgage can view the outcome as a positive one, with growing concerns about persistent inflationary pressures and the RBA’s ability to manage them now pointing towards rate hikes for 2026.
