Over the past week, lying in a hospital bed with a lot of uncertainty, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for how people feel when they don’t have answers and aren’t sure what the future holds.

For me, the uncertainty was around my health, questions like whether I’d walk again and whether there were issues doctors hadn’t yet discovered. It made me realise that uncertainty isn’t unique to health… I see it every day in property too.

I speak with so many people who tell me they’re not sure if they’re ready, they don’t know whether now is the right time to buy, or they’re worried about what might happen next. And uncertainty has a way of keeping us stuck.

One thing this experience has reinforced for me is how powerful mindset can be. Not blind optimism or ignoring risks, but choosing to focus on what you can control instead of being paralysed by what you can’t.

When we decide something matters enough, we start looking for ways forward instead of reasons to wait.

For my recovery journey, that means surrounding myself with the right team, doctors, physio, OT and people who can guide me through each step.

Buying property is no different.

Having the right people around you, a mortgage broker, accountant, financial planner, conveyancer/solicitor and a buyer’s agent, can make all the difference. The right team helps you build the right strategy, buy under the right structure and make decisions with confidence rather than fear.

Lately, I’ve heard a lot of hesitation driven by budget changes, interest rates and recession talk. While caution is important, history shows that uncertainty is always part of the cycle. Those who take the time to get informed, seek good advice and act when the timing is right are often the ones who win and gain the most.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence and uncertainty is holding you back, maybe the first step isn’t making a decision today, maybe it’s just having the right conversation.

Happy to chat. Feel free to send me a PM or book in a call.

Over the past six weeks, we’ve been busy behind the scenes refreshing the Get Me Property brand.

The name hasn’t changed, but the goal was to elevate the business into a more professional and established position while still keeping the approachable, personable experience that clients know and value.

This refresh was all about creating a visual identity that better reflects the level of service, strategy, and support we provide throughout the property journey.

Alongside the rebrand, we’ve also launched a brand-new website take a look and let me know what you think 👇

And to top it off, the new home office is officially ready for business.

Exciting times ahead.

A lot of the discussion around potential negative gearing changes has focused on property prices, but there could be some major flow-on effects across different parts of the market.

In the short term, I believe we could see reduced investor demand in the higher price point market, which may result in prices remaining relatively flat or experiencing lower growth.

But with fewer investors purchasing in this segment, we’re also likely to see fewer rental properties available, putting further pressure on rental supply and pushing rents higher. This could eventually improve rental yields in the higher price brackets and make them more attractive again over time.

At the same time, more investors may shift toward lower price point properties due to borrowing capacity constraints and affordability. This means first home buyers and investors could end up competing for the same properties, increasing demand and potentially driving stronger price growth in the more affordable end of the market.

While rents may also rise in these areas due to ongoing rental shortages, yields may actually tighten because property prices could increase faster than rental growth.

What becomes really interesting is the potential narrowing of the price gap between lower and higher price point properties.

If affordable properties continue to rise while premium markets remain relatively flat, that gap closes — and that may eventually create opportunity:
✔️ Investors may return to higher price point properties for improved yields and relative value
✔️ Owner occupiers looking to upgrade or upsize may also see a window of opportunity while the gap is smaller

So while the short-term effect may be reduced demand in the higher price point market, the longer-term impact could look very different.

Property markets are always cyclical, and policy changes often create opportunities — you just need to understand where the market is likely heading next.

Another scenario that could play out from the proposed negative gearing changes is something that isn’t being talked about enough… borrowing capacity, and I bet this is something the government didn't consider.

Banks are already starting to change their lending formulas by removing the benefits of negative gearing when assessing serviceability on established properties. What does that mean? Investors may suddenly find they can borrow less than before.

So where do investors go when borrowing power shrinks?
Typically, they move down into lower price brackets to stay within budget.

The problem with that is these are often the same properties first home buyers are trying to purchase.

More investors competing for the same entry-level homes will likely create even more demand at the affordable end of the market, which could push prices up further and make it even harder for first home buyers to enter the market.

Once again, it comes back to the same core issue… supply.

When demand continues to outweigh supply, prices will always remain under pressure to rise.

What are your thoughts?

The Belmont property market continues to show incredible strength.

I attended the auction yesterday at 19 Oberon Drive, Belmont, a beautifully renovated home featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a 4-car garage in a fantastic location.

The turnout was impressive, with over 50 people in attendance and 4 active bidders competing strongly. The property ultimately sold for $800,000, which was $30,000 above the top end of the quoted range.

A huge congratulations to the selling agents Adam Natonewski, TJ Holman and the team at Ray White Highton on another fantastic result, as well as the young couple who secured the property and can now call it home.

Most importantly, I’m sure there’s one very happy vendor today.

Results like this continue to show that quality homes in blue-chip Geelong suburbs like Belmont are still attracting strong competition when priced and presented well.

Another scenario that may play out from the proposed changes to negative gearing is the impact it could have on the rental market.
If fewer investors purchase established properties, and more are pushed toward building new homes instead, there will likely be a lag before those properties become available for rent due to land delays, construction timeframes, and ongoing builder capacity issues.
In the short term, this could mean:
• fewer rental properties available,
• tighter vacancy rates,
• and potentially significant rental increases.

The challenge is that many renters today are also future first home buyers trying to save their deposits. If rents continue to rise, it reduces their ability to save and may delay their entry into the market even further.

At the same time, if investors who traditionally bought higher-priced established properties shift their focus into lower price brackets, it could increase competition in the very segments many first home buyers are targeting.

There’s no simple solution to Australia’s housing issues, but one thing remains clear — supply continues to be the key challenge. Any policy changes need to consider not only housing affordability, but also rental affordability and the broader flow-on effects across the entire property market.

The conversation around the proposed negative gearing changes seems to focus on pushing investors toward new builds to help increase housing supply.

On paper, that sounds great.

But there’s one major problem…

The building and construction industry is already struggling to keep up with current demand.
We already have:
• Builder shortages
• Trade shortages
• Delays in land releases
• Capacity constraints across developments
• Rising construction costs

So if policy changes suddenly push even more investor demand into the new-build space, where exactly is the industry going to find the resources to deliver it?

Basic economics tells us what will likely happen:

Higher demand + constrained supply = higher prices.

Instead of improving affordability, we could actually see:
• New build prices increase even further
• Construction costs continue rising
• Replacement costs for established homes increase
• Flow-on pressure to established property prices

Then there’s the rental issue.

Australia is already experiencing a rental shortage, and new housing supply doesn’t appear overnight.

In many estates:
• Land titles can take 18+ months
• Then another 9–12 months (or longer) to build

That means there could be a significant lag before these properties ever reach the rental market.

So, while demand for rentals continues today, the additional supply may still be years away.

The likely outcome?
• Continued rental shortages
• Increased competition for rentals
• Further rental price growth

The reality is, the housing crisis is not simply a demand problem.
It’s also a supply capacity problem.

And until we address the ability to physically deliver more housing at scale, policy changes alone may end up putting even more pressure on prices and rents.

🚨 𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐒 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 🚨
The recent Federal Budget announcements around Negative Gearing and Capital Gains Tax could significantly reshape the Australian property market over the coming years.
While the intention is to improve affordability, there could be some major unintended consequences for everyday “mum and dad” investors and renters alike.
Here’s what I believe we’ll likely see:
• More investors chasing HIGHER rental yield properties to offset the loss of tax benefits
• Increased competition in the lower price brackets — directly competing with first home buyers
• More pressure on rental supply and potentially higher rents
• A stronger push toward new builds purely for tax purposes
• Investors needing to focus more on cash flow and fundamentals rather than relying on tax deductions
One thing investors need to understand:
Negative gearing is a TAX strategy — not a wealth creation strategy.
If you’re spending $1 just to get 47 cents back, you’re still out of pocket 53 cents.
Long-term wealth is usually built through:
✅ Strong asset selection
✅ Land value growth
✅ Sustainable cash flow
✅ Buying quality properties in quality locations
The best investments are often the ones that can eventually become neutrally geared while still delivering long-term capital growth.
Interesting times ahead for the Australian property market.
What are your thoughts on these proposed changes?
