Is the Perth property boom over? Not quite, but it is changing.

Our Managing Director Matthew Hughes shares his take in this month's P**A Adviser Magazine: Perth is still outperforming the rest of the country (23.9% annual growth), but days on market are climbing and more homes are now selling below asking price than earlier this year.

Matthew calls it a transition, not a downturn, moving from boom-time growth into something steadier. Full breakdown via the link below.

Excited to share this piece published in The West Australian today, co-authored with Nicholas Hart, Senior Financial Adviser at Empire Financial Group.

"The ABCs of CGT Changes" - because the Federal Government's new tax rules for property have created a lot of confusion, and investors deserve clear, honest answers.

Here is the summary:

The line in the sand is May 12, 2026. Everything you held before Budget night is grandfathered under the old rules. Everything you buy after July 1, 2027 operates under a fundamentally different tax environment - no 50% CGT discount, quarantined negative gearing losses, and a 30% minimum tax on real gains.

For Perth investors specifically, the market is normalising - not collapsing. Listings are up, days on market have doubled, and borrowing capacity has been compressed by three rate hikes. But the fundamentals are still there. Perth delivered 23.9% annual growth. The R-code subdivision changes have unlocked massive potential value for approximately 50,000 Perth homeowners. And the buying opportunity for first-home buyers and upgraders is the best it has been in years.

The key message: don't panic-sell a grandfathered asset. Don't race to beat a deadline by buying the wrong asset. And don't structure your investments around today's rules as if they are carved in granite.

Read the full article in The West Australian today. And a genuine thank you to Nicholas Hart from Empire Financial Group for the collaboration - this is exactly the kind of cross-discipline conversation investors need right now.

If you're eligible for the P**A Awards for Excellence, don't assume someone else is more deserving.

Too often, the people doing outstanding work are the least likely to put themselves forward.

If you've demonstrated professionalism, leadership, innovation, or made a meaningful contribution to the property investment sector over the past financial year, I'd encourage you to submit a nomination.

Nominations close Friday, 14 August. https://buff.ly/jsWoaJd

Listen to our Managing Director Matthew Hughes discuss why Perth's property market remains one of the strongest in the country, even as conditions begin to shift. Buyers now have more choice, properties are taking longer to sell, and investors are adjusting their strategies as supply improves. Tune in to hear what it means for Perth buyers, sellers, and investors.

The government just struck a deal to ban new SMSF residential property borrowing.

The window is closing - and it is closing fast.

I was asked by Smart Property Investment to weigh in on what this means for buyers and their advisers. My view? If you had SMSF property on your radar, the time to act is now. Not next month. Now.

A 45-day transition period is expected after Royal Assent. Lenders will likely pull their SMSF loan products before that date even arrives - we saw exactly this happen in 2019 when the same policy was threatened.

If you want to explore whether this strategy is still available to you before the door closes, reach out. We have limited capacity to assist new clients ahead of the deadline.

2025 P**A National Property Investment Adviser of the Year. Here's why that matters for you right now, more than ever.

In a market full of noise, experience and credentials matter. Working with a qualified, independent adviser - one who is accountable to a professional body - is more important than ever in a complex regulatory environment.

I've been a buyer's agent for 12 years. I've seen every scare, every policy change, every "the market is dead" headline.

12 years. Many market cycles around the country observed and analysed. Every tax change. Every doomsday prediction by the sensationalist media.

The fundamentals always win.

Location. Supply and demand. Quality assets. Long-term thinking. That hasn't changed. It never will.

As a current P**A Board Director and QPIA member for over a decade, I've been in the room for a lot of conversations since the Budget. Here's what the industry is actually saying.

The professionals are aligned: the fundamentals haven't changed. Established property is often still your best bet - if you have the capacity to cash-flow the negative gearing, knowing you are banking these losses for future benefit. Market timing and asset/suburb selection are more valuable than ever. And long-term thinking remains the foundation of a sound property investment strategy.

We have developed a range of new tools and strategies to assist investors who perhaps don't have the disposable income to support the holding costs on established property anymore. Contact us to learn more.

The noise will pass. The CPA team's approach to strategic planning and advice has become more onerous and far more complex, but we have adapted quickly and our proven investment philosophies will endure.

The Budget was designed to help renters and first home buyers. It may do the opposite. Here's the uncomfortable truth.

If investors exit the established property market, rental supply drops. Fewer rentals means higher rents. The people the Budget was supposed to help — renters and first home buyers — could end up worse off.

This is the unintended consequence nobody in Canberra seems to want to talk about.
