I guess this interest rate rise was inevitable.
‌‌The Reserve Bank has raised the cash rate raised to 4.60% today,
an increase of 25 basis points.

Ouch for mortgage holders.

Before you increase rent, you must give your renter at least
90 days’ notice.​

Providing more time to plan helps reduce stress and avoid

Debate here on removal of CGT discounts and negative gearing on investments. This will impact supply of rental properties in future and the ability of renters to save for a deposit.
With cost of living so high, the 5% deposit scheme doesn’t benefit all potential first home buyers. Serviceability of the debt after buying is a major challenge and responsible prospective buyers factor in the rising interest rate environment when making property decisions.
Also, how can we trust that the government will constructively apply additional revenue to housing supply?

Anthony Albanese's plans for radical tax overhaul may end up hurting the very groups he is claiming to help. 👉 https://bit.ly/4u7h5JM

Lots of talk after the National Press Club when the Prime Minister again suggested sweeping changes to property taxes possibly in the coming May budget.

Housing supply is not just an issue affecting affordability and ownership. Supply of rental properties is a major issue facing renters.
