The votes are in. The dust has settled. And while the media circus has shifted to its next act, one battleground is still heating up—the post election property market.

If you’ve tried to buy a home in the past few years—or just keep up with rising rents—you’ve probably felt it. That quiet frustration. That sense that no matter how hard you work or save, you’re still getting squeezed.

Spoiler alert: it’s not just in your head.

Australia’s Middle Class Is Being Left Behind

Let’s start with some cold, hard facts.

Australia has one of the highest tax burdens on the middle class in the developed world. Pair that with property prices outpacing wage growth for over a decade, and it’s no wonder everyday Aussies feel like the deck is stacked against them.

The latest election hasn’t changed that dynamic. In fact, many experts believe the post election property market will only accelerate the trends already hurting buyers and renters alike.

Labor’s “Big Australia” Vision = Big Problems for Housing

One of the most impactful policies flying under the radar is Labor’s aggressive immigration target. On paper, it sounds like economic stimulus. But in reality, it means more people competing for fewer homes.

Here’s the kicker: for every 3 new people coming to Australia, 1 new property is needed. Yet we’re falling massively short of our national housing targets month after month.

Why?

Because green tape, red tape, and rising construction costs are choking supply at the source. Approvals are slower. Builders are folding. Materials are more expensive. And land? Scarcer by the day.

Who Wins and Who Loses in This New Market?

Let’s be blunt.

✅ Winners

• Savvy property investors who act before the next wave of price hikes

• Owners in the top 100 growth suburbs already seeing strong rental yields

• Buyers leveraging group buying power and expert due diligence

• Investors who understand how Labor’s infrastructure spend will increase land values

❌ Losers

• Renters locked out of a tightening market

• First-time buyers unable to keep up with deposit demands

• Investors trying to “go it alone” without a clear strategy

• Anyone still waiting for the “crash” that never comes

 

The Real Impact of Post-Election Uncertainty

Historically, uncertainty equals opportunity—if you know what to look for.

With media fear-mongering around rate cuts, housing shortages, and rental crises, many people are paralysed. But smart investors? They’re using this moment to step in while others step back.

Because the truth is: the best time to buy is when others are hesitating.

And while the media debates rent caps and capital gains, investors using strategic tools—like cash flow calculators, long-term suburb data, and investment teams—are building equity quietly in the background.

The Biggest Mistake? Waiting.

The most expensive words in property investing?

“Let’s wait and see.”

Every year, we meet people who say they wish they’d bought two years ago. But the ones who actually did? They’re now sitting on six-figure capital gains and stronger-than-expected rental income—even after interest rate hikes.

Waiting doesn’t save you money. It costs you time, leverage, and opportunity.

So What Should You Do Next?

The real question isn’t “Is now the right time to invest?”
It’s “How do I invest smart in this new landscape?”

Because timing the market is almost impossible. But understanding how the game works—and positioning yourself ahead of the curve—is where wealth is built.
