A question you may have been asking yourself lately: “Should I sell my property now because of potential capital gains tax changes?
My response..
. If you’re deciding purely based on what might happen with tax policy, you’re not making a logical decision. You’re making a fear-based decision.
The case for selling now
You’ve made strong gains: Selling now allows you to lock in profits under current tax rules.
You get ahead of potential policy changes: If capital gains tax rules change, you’ve already acted under today’s system.
You were planning to sell anyway.
The risks of selling now
This is where most people need to slow down and think long term:
You could be selling a scarce asset: Australia is facing a supply shortage. With global instability and rising migration, demand is likely to remain strong.
You may trigger tax unnecessarily early: Selling now means paying tax now instead of potentially deferring it for years, or even decades.
You’re reacting to something that hasn’t happened: Making a long-term wealth decision based on a policy that hasn’t even been confirmed yet. What actually drives property?
Property markets here don’t just move on tax policy. They move on:
1.Supply (currently tight)
2.Population growth (increasing)
3 Demand (consistently strong)
Right now, all three factors are pointing in one direction.
A more strategic way to decide...
Ask yourself one simple question: “Was I going to sell anyway?”
If yes, act strategically and move forward. If no, don’t let the headlines make the decision for you. Make decisions based on your life, not the headlines.

There’s been a lot of noise lately around the current tensions between the United States and Iran - and naturally, one of the first questions I’m getting from clients is: “Is this going to crash the property market?”
The short answer is no - but it is influencing it.
The Simple Explanation
At its core, the situation is this:
The war isn’t crashing the market - it’s pushing up interest rates, which is slowing buyers down. But with supply still tight, prices are holding.
Let’s break that down in real terms.
Global conflict, particularly in oil-producing regions, tends to drive fuel prices higher. That flows through to inflation, and when inflation rises, central banks typically respond by holding or increasing interest rates.
Higher interest rates mean:
Buyers can borrow less
Some buyers pause or step back
Decision-making becomes more cautious
So yes - we are seeing a slight softening in urgency, particularly from more price-sensitive buyers.
Why the Market Isn’t Falling
Here’s the key part many people miss…
Even though some buyers are slowing down, we still don’t have enough homes to meet demand.
Across Australia, and especially in regional areas, we’re dealing with:
Ongoing housing shortages
Limited new construction
Strong population movement into regional centres
This creates a balancing effect:
Demand softens slightly
But supply remains even tighter
Result: Prices stabilise or continue to hold - not drop
While the conflict is happening overseas, the ripple effects are being felt here at home.
Higher global fuel costs are already impacting:
Transport and logistics
Construction costs
Everyday living expenses
At the same time, there are growing concerns around material shortages and rising build costs, which are slowing down new housing projects.
The flow-on effect:
Fewer homes being built
Longer build times
Increased pressure on existing housing stock
When you strip it all back, the current environment comes down to a simple equation:
Less building + strong demand = continued price support
That’s why, despite global uncertainty, the local market remains resilient and active.
If conditions continue:
We may see a more balanced market rather than an overheated one
Buyers becoming more selective, but still active
Sellers needing the right strategy, but still achieving strong results
Global events absolutely influence property markets - but they don’t always impact them in the way people expect. Right now, the story isn’t about a downturn.
It’s about shifting conditions, tighter supply, and a market that’s adjusting - not collapsing.
