Property Buzz: Market uncertainty? Just go back to the basics

02 MAY 2026 By Robyn Tongol 2 min read Investor Strategy
With policy uncertainty mounting, the property market is on edge. Could looming tax changes reshape the investment landscape, or will investors return to basics with fixer-uppers and disciplined acquisition strategies?

On the Property Buzz podcast, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman cut through the chatter around potential changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing, and what it could mean for investors, home owners, and broader market confidence.

They unpack why, despite the headlines, property prices are still rising, as home owners hold onto their properties for longer, resulting in tighter listings.

 
 

Garman and Tarrant then return to fundamentals. With ongoing uncertainty, is it time to get back to the basics of property investing: flipping, renovations, cosmetic upgrades, and granny flats, supported by disciplined spending to drive growth?

They wrap up by taking aim at risky property advice circulating online from so-called “experts” and some of the common mistakes investors continue to make.
