THE PURE PROPERTY PODCAST: Strategic investors’ move in 2026 as policy, supply, and demand collide
In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop explore the shifting landscape of Australian property investment as the market heads into 2026.
They discuss the impact of government initiatives such as the 5 per cent deposit scheme and how these initiatives are influencing buyer behaviour and property values.
While Treasury predicted only a modest 0.5 per cent price increase over six years, early signs suggest a more immediate market impact.
The hosts caution that such initiatives may raise demand without easing the underlying supply shortage, especially as dwelling approvals decline and construction costs have dropped significantly since 2019.
This environment presents both opportunities and risks for investors, particularly in the lower quartile, where growth potential remains strong.
Cultural expectations around home ownership are evolving, prompting wider discussions on affordability and the role of rental markets.
As 2026 approaches, investors are advised to monitor policy changes, supply constraints, and market dynamics closely to make informed decisions.
