The fundamental issue with the Australian property market is a significant housing shortage, as population growth continues to outpace new home completions. Most capital cities are seeing rental vacancies at historic lows, highlighting the ongoing need for new housing supply.

Independent modelling suggests that proposed changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax may reduce housing supply and increase rental prices, placing pressure on the National Housing Accord’s goal of delivering 1.2 million new homes by 2029. The REIA, Master Builders, and PCA have called for government revisions to better support housing supply.

While housing prices may stabilise and affordability improve, it is important to note that existing portfolios are protected. From 7:30 PM on May 12, only new builds and principal places of residence will remain unaffected by the proposed new tax system, while other asset classes will lose tax advantages from July 2027.

In short, the focus is shifting toward principal residences and newly constructed investment properties. The property market has shown resilience, supported by strong fundamentals. Low supply, strong interstate migration, and ongoing housing shortages are expected to continue underpinning market conditions, particularly across affordable and middle-market price points. Property cycles show that those who wait for certainty often regret it.

In Queensland, residential property prices increased in the March 2026 quarter. The REIQ reported a median house price rise of 4.21%, reaching $990,000, and a 15.7% increase compared to the previous year. Units also saw a 4.81% rise, reaching $817,500, which represents a 17.19% annual increase. Despite these gains, buyer sentiment remains cautious due to concerns around rising borrowing costs and recent federal budget announcements affecting negative gearing and capital gains tax.

Brisbane’s market is expected to remain resilient throughout the remainder of 2026, as conditions return to a more typical Brisbane market, with moderate year-on-year growth.
