The Federal Budget didn’t end property investing. It changed the lens investors need to look through.
The Government is now clearly favouring new housing supply - and that may create a much bigger divide between established property and strategic new-build investment.
From 1 July 2027, negative gearing on residential property is proposed to apply only to new builds, while existing properties owned before Budget night are expected to be grandfathered.
That changes the equation.
At DPN, we’ve specialised in dual-income, new-build property for years - exactly the type of property the Government is now favouring through these changes.
The strategy has changed. The smart investors won’t panic. They’ll adapt.
Because the Budget did not kill the opportunity. It separated average from strategic property investment.
Speak with a DPN Property Strategist to understand what these proposed changes may mean for your investment strategy moving forward.
