Summary
Investors thought negative gearing was the big threat, but a new crackdown on SMSF borrowing could be the change that really blindsides Australians. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Liam Garman sits down with Emilie Lauer to break down a major week for property investors, from the proposed self-managed super fund (SMSF) borrowing ban to rising inflation, interest rate pressure, and fresh warnings of a divided housing market. The duo explores why the SMSF decision has sparked backlash, with critics arguing it targets everyday Australians trying to build wealth and take control of their retirement, while doing little to solve housing affordability. Attention then turns to inflation and interest rates, as renewed price pressure raises questions about borrowing capacity, refinancing options, and investor confidence. The duo also examine Domain's latest FY2027 forecast, which tips price falls for Sydney and Melbourne while Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth continue to show resilience. Despite the uncertainty, the pair argue that opportunities remain for investors who stay disciplined, look closely at affordability-driven markets, and do their due diligence before making their next move.
