## Resource

With the federal budget days away, Australian property investors are on edge, watching for potential shifts to taxes, interest rates, and housing policy that could reshape the cycle. On Property Buzz, hosts Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman cut through the noise ahead of budget week and break down what it all means for investors. Tarrant flags a cautious mood in the market, with all eyes turning to Canberra as critical policy decisions draw near, while Garman ties current pressure to inflation, rising rates, and labour demand, with ongoing geopolitical tensions only adding to the uncertainty. The pair dig into rising inflation expectations, housing supply constraints, and the government's response through deposit schemes and heated tax debates. Despite widespread talk of investors heading for the exit, stable listings and lending data tell a different story: most are holding firm. The duo wraps with a sharp warning on policy risk, SME impacts, and the dangers of unregulated advice, urging investors to stay sharp heading into the budget.
