🏡 Which Perth Suburbs Will Be Hit Hardest By The New Federal Budget Changes? 💰
The new federal budget changes around negative gearing and capital gains tax are expected to impact some Perth property markets far more than others.
The areas likely to feel it the most are suburbs heavily driven by investor activity — particularly where loan sizes sit under the $1 million mark, especially around the $500k–$800k range.
We’re already starting to see potential buyers pull out of deals in areas like Baldivis as confidence shifts and investors reassess the numbers based on a work mates experience. 📉
Suburbs that have traditionally relied on strong investor demand could see the biggest slowdown, while premium markets above the $1 million price point may remain relatively unaffected due to stronger owner-occupier demand and buyers less reliant on negative gearing benefits.
At the same time, these changes are unlikely to solve Perth’s housing crisis anytime soon, with ongoing labour shortages, construction delays, and rising material costs continuing to restrict supply. 🏗️
Perth’s market is changing — and understanding where demand may soften (and where it may hold strong) will be critical moving forward. 📍
