Michelle Ralph, Perth property

There’s been a lot of noise following the 2026 Federal Budget announcement, particularly around negative gearing, CGT reform and what it could mean for property moving forward.

When you look deeper into the data and the modelling, the reality for Perth appears more nuanced than the headlines suggest.

Realmark recently unpacked what these proposed reforms could actually mean for Perth property and one message remained consistent throughout:
Supply and demand fundamentals are still driving this market.

While investor behaviour may shift in certain areas, WA continues to face ongoing supply pressure, strong population growth and sustained housing demand, particularly across well-positioned property.

The conversation around property is evolving, but the fundamentals still matter most.
