28 Jul 2026 · 59 min

This month's Wilson Monthly Market Update kicks off with a hard look at the Prime Minister's recent comments on negative gearing reform — and why the reasoning behind restricting it to one or two properties doesn't match how Australian tax law actually works. From there, the conversation moves into what's shaping up to be one of the biggest questions facing renters and investors alike: as investors exit the market ahead of new taxation changes, what happens to an already undersupplied rental market?The episode also breaks down the government's expanded Help to Buy scheme and asks whether shared equity solves affordability or just shifts ownership (and risk) onto taxpayers, before moving into the regular data deep-dive: the RBA's rate-hold heading into a bigger August decision, a mixed inflation print with underlying inflation ticking up to its highest level since 2004, an easing unemployment rate, home building approvals split sharply between the booming Perth/Brisbane markets and the still-struggling Melbourne/Sydney unit sector, and the latest auction clearance rates — including early signs of a possible turnaround in Melbourne.As always: rents, rates, building approvals, capital city price trends, and the long-term data that puts the current cycle in context.Money Mentor YouTube Channel: @moneymentorauDr Andrew Wilson on LinkedIn: /dr-andrewIf you enjoyed our podcast, make sure you follow and subscribe to stay up to date with the latest episodes.👉 Follow the link https://bit.ly/43V2jKN to watch the free webinar and start your Infinity journey now!
