This CGT change could push rents higher and reduce housing supply.

Will capital gains tax changes fix Australia’s housing crisis — or make it worse?

In this video, I break down the proposed Capital Gains Tax (CGT) changes in Australia and explain why they could actually increase rents, reduce property listings, and worsen the rental crisis.

The idea behind taxing property investors more is to improve housing affordability — but when you understand how supply and demand actually work in the Australian property market, the outcome may be very different.

Here’s what we cover:

• How capital gains tax works in Australia
• Why higher CGT may reduce property listings
• The impact on rental supply
• Why rents could increase
• The truth about “mum and dad” property investors
• Australia’s public housing shortage (just ~3.8%)
• Why housing supply is the real issue

Australia is already behind on its 1.2 million home target. If supply doesn’t improve, policy changes that discourage property investors may unintentionally make housing affordability worse — not better.

If you’re a:

• Property investor
• First home buyer
• Renter
• Or planning to enter the Australian property market
