 Listings are tight. Rents are tighter. And policy might be about to test both. Pete Wargent and Chris Bates to break down the forces shaping Australian property in 2026 — from capital gains tax reform chatter and rental market stress to financing resilience and where momentum still exists. The focus: what actually changes behaviour, and what just makes headlines. Together, they discuss: - Unemployment holding keeps the possibility of further rate hikes alive - First-home buyers continue pushing ahead - Record quarterly housing finance and lift in investor lending show capital is still active - Winding back the CGT discount may reduce flipping but is unlikely to deter investors -Vacancy rates near record lows - Without investor participation, rental availability deteriorates further - Seller behaviour matters more than headlines; listings remain historically tight - Listener Q&A Resources for this episode Ask a question (select the Property podcast) Rask Resources Pete's Buyers Agency Alcove mortgage broking Amy Lunardi Buyers Agency (Melbourne) All services Financial Planning Invest with us Access Show Notes Ask a question We love feedback!
