Budget 2026 has triggered one of the biggest property and tax debates Australia has seen in years.
In this episode, the Latitude Accountants team breaks down the proposed negative gearing changes, what they could mean for property investors, borrowing capacity, house prices, first home buyers, and whether these changes will actually improve housing affordability.

We discuss:
• Why wealthy investors may not actually be affected
• How negative gearing really works
• Why borrowing capacity could fall dramatically
• The impact on Sydney and Melbourne property markets
• Whether this could hurt first home buyers instead
• Why some accountants believe negative gearing encourages speculation
• The future of new builds and property development in Australia
This is not financial advice. The discussion is general in nature and based on proposed policy announcements at the time of recording.
