BUYING OR SELLING PROPERTY AFTER 1 JULY?

One of the biggest changes to real estate in years is about to commence.

From 1 July, new Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements will apply to many property transactions across Australia.

For buyers and sellers, this means identity verification will become a required part of the sales process.

In much the same way banks and financial institutions verify their customers, real estate businesses will now have additional obligations to verify the identity of parties involved in property transactions.

For most people, the process should be straightforward, but buyers and sellers will be required to provide identification documents that were not previously required during the sale process.

If you're planning to buy or sell property in the coming months, it's worth being aware that these changes are coming.

Have you heard about the new AML requirements?

WHERE IS TOMORROW'S INVESTOR GOING?

Today's investors have more hurdles—and more options—than ever before.

Interest rates, changing legislation, taxation debates and rising living costs have all forced investors to think differently.

At the same time, investors have greater access and control over shares, ETFs, crypto assets, superannuation, business ownership and debt reduction strategies than ever before.

Property remains one of Australia's most popular long-term investment strategies.

But has the investor playbook really changed?

Historically, investors haven't disappeared when conditions change—they adapt.

The real question isn't whether investors continue investing.
It's where they choose to place their capital next.

💬 What do you think? Has the investor playbook changed? What’s your next move?

When the market hesitates, what's your move? 🤔

Market fear is a powerful thing.

Higher interest rates, budget uncertainty and constant market headlines may have some buyers taking a wait-and-see approach.

And that's understandable.

But history shows that certainty often returns at the same time competition does.

When confidence is low, some buyers may pause their plans. That can mean fewer active buyers, more time to assess opportunities and, in some cases, greater negotiating power for those who remain in the market.

Of course, uncertainty doesn't automatically make every property a good buy. Location, demand, supply, affordability and long-term holding capacity still matter.

The goal isn't to predict the perfect time to buy.

It's to be informed, strategic and focused on the fundamentals.

Property markets often reward preparation far more than perfect timing.

💬 Do you think market uncertainty creates opportunity — or too much risk?

Property Insights – Investor vs Treasurer

Property investors provide a large portion of Australia’s rental housing, yet many are facing increasing taxes, regulation and compliance costs.

If investment becomes less attractive, fewer homes are supplied and rents inevitably rise.

But when investors are supported and encouraged to invest, they help deliver the rental housing Australia desperately needs.

Strong investors create strong rental supply, which benefits tenants, families and the broader economy.

A balanced approach to housing policy can support both affordability and long-term supply.

Is this a fair fight?

What’s your view on the future of property investment in Australia?

Have property investors gone missing, or are they simply waiting for certainty before making their next move?

Property investors are not the enemy. Many are ordinary families who provide much-needed rental housing, and when policy uncertainty reduces investor confidence, the whole market can be affected.

For decades, property investors have played a vital role in Australia's housing market, helping to supply rental homes while building long-term wealth and retirement security.

Since Budget Night, proposed changes to property taxation and investment rules have created uncertainty, prompting many investors to adopt a cautious wait-and-see approach.

If investor confidence continues to weaken, the consequences could extend well beyond investors:

• Fewer purchases of established investment properties

• Reduced turnover in the resale market

• Less rental housing supply over time

• Increased pressure on rents

• Fewer housing options for tenants

The good news is that property remains one of Australia's most proven long-term wealth-building strategies, and periods of uncertainty often create opportunities for well-informed investors who take a disciplined, long-term view.

Ultimately, a healthy property market depends on confidence, stability and adequate housing supply for both investors and tenants.

What do you think? Have property investors gone missing, or are they simply waiting for greater certainty?

Already own an investment property?
You may be better positioned than you think.

Following last night’s Federal Budget, many investors are asking whether they will lose their current negative gearing benefits.

The short answer: if you already own an investment property, existing properties are proposed to be grandfathered if the legislation passes Parliament.

📌 Existing investment properties are proposed to retain their current negative gearing treatment.

🏗️ New builds are expected to retain full negative gearing benefits.

🏠 The main impact is likely to be on future purchases of established investment properties.

⚖️ The proposals still need to pass Parliament before any changes become law.

For many current investors, the immediate takeaway is simple: there may be no need to panic.

Good news for existing investors — or unfair to future buyers?

One Budget decision could affect your tax bill — or your weekly rent.

If negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions are changed, the impact may be felt by both investors and tenants tonight.

📈 Investors could pay more tax.

🏠 Tenants could face higher rents.

Supporters say reform is overdue.

Critics say it could reduce rental supply and make renting even more expensive.

⚠️ Reform Australia needs — or a dangerous experiment?

Quick update on a side project I’ve been quietly building alongside Onsite Property...

Most settlement gifts get used once, then disappear into a drawer or get eaten.

We’ve been testing a different approach — custom branded drink coasters that actually live in a client’s home for years and keep an agent’s details visible without feeling like advertising.

I’ve now got a proper website up, a few real agents using them, and early feedback has been surprisingly positive.

Early days, but interesting to see how something simple and physical can quietly outperform flyers, ads and one-off gifts over time.

Curious to hear from others — what settlement or referral gifts have actually worked long-term for you?
