Is self-funded retirement quietly being Abolished in Australia? This episode of the Positive Property Show covers the latest move in a sequence of policy changes that have made it progressively harder for everyday Australians to build independent wealth.

First came the negative gearing restrictions. Then the CGT concessions were cut. Now borrowing inside a self-managed super fund to buy property has been banned, the result of a Labor-Greens deal where each party extracted what it wanted from the other. The ban closes one of the most tax-efficient wealth-building strategies available to middle-income Australians, and it comes with a hard deadline. Anyone who exchanges contracts before the cutoff date is still eligible to borrow inside their SMSF. After that, the strategy is gone.

George Markoski goes through the full picture in this episode, from why super is now being treated as a government revenue source rather than a retirement vehicle, to exactly what needs to happen before the 45-day window closes.

The RBA just held rates at 4.35%, and opinion was split right up until the decision. George Markoski breaks down the data behind the call: a new Iran-US ceasefire framework that has pushed oil prices down from the mid-80s to the low 60s, easing inflation pressure, and an unemployment surprise that came in well above the RBA's own forecast.

Rate hike expectations in the market have fallen from 85% in January to just 45% today, with Westpac and CBA both pointing toward cuts in early 2027. Every rate peak in Australian history has been followed by a property boom once cuts began, and the strongest growth has consistently gone to those who bought ahead of confirmation rather than waiting for it. Melanie also joins live to share how 20 years of hesitation turned into three properties, $200,000 in growth on her first purchase alone, and a Legacy Program spot for her teenage son.

Most Australians think the housing crisis is still building. George Markoski's case in this episode of the Positive Property Show is that the next wave has already started.

Australia is growing far faster than any government forecast anticipated. The budget added more people to a rental market that is already stretched and a construction industry that is already failing to keep pace. Rents are rising at their fastest rate since late 2024. Builders are being pushed toward insolvency by surging material and oil-related costs.

George explains what this combination means for property investors who are positioned in the right locations and what it means for everyone who is waiting on the sidelines. A member also joins to share how two properties have put his family on track to retire within two years.

The federal budget has permanently changed the rules of property investing in Australia, and most investors are still catching up. George Markoski and Adam Albright break down every major change and explain exactly what the new landscape means for anyone buying, holding, or planning to invest in property right now.

The 50% CGT discount is gone for established properties. Negative gearing is now limited to new builds only. Banks are already moving, with Macquarie cutting negative gearing from serviceability calculations for established property investors as of May 16. The 12-month window before July 1, 2027 is the most important deadline in Australian property right now.

Jeremy Bagdadlian also joins to share how he made $201,000 in 12 months from a single property after finding Positive Property on Facebook.

In this episode of Positive Property Show, George Markoski and Charmaine Adams discuss the structural forces driving costs higher across the entire economy, why none of it is temporary, and why every headline about the housing crisis is the most bullish signal in the market for property owners.

The average Australian house is forecast to hit $1.13 million by mid-year. Build costs are up 74% since 2019. The $500,000 new build is gone forever. Three hundred builders are going broke every quarter. And 13.4 million new Australians are projected to arrive by 2065, with 81% heading to major cities where supply is already under the most pressure. George's conclusion is direct: owners win every time the system breaks. Renters pay the bill. Positive Property member Sharon also joins live to share how she and her husband Greg built a three-property portfolio as a train driver's family from Sydney, with a fourth property on the way and a goal of 10 properties before retirement.

Is Australian property in a bubble?

In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and Christina Markoski debate both sides before going through a national sentiment survey that reveals what Australians are genuinely thinking about housing, money, and the future.

George's case: record high property prices are not a bubble signal. In every decade of Australian history you could say the same thing. That is inflation, not a bubble. What actually matters is whether demand can sustain current levels, and with 3,000 immigrants arriving every day and a construction industry heading toward another wave of cost spikes and collapses, the structural answer is yes. The survey results add another layer: one in three Australians is skipping the doctor because they cannot afford it, 34% need six figures just to get by, and the housing crisis is the single biggest cultural concern in the country. Positive Property member Tristan also joins live to share how he built $296,000 in property profit across two properties in under 12 months.

Australia’s housing crisis is accelerating and the 2026 Federal Budget may have just made it worse.

In this episode, George Markoski and Christina Markoski break down the economic reality behind soaring rents, collapsing affordability, rising construction costs, record migration, and the growing pressure on Australian households.

While politicians promise affordability, the numbers tell a very different story.

George explains:

• Why Australia’s housing shortage is deepening

• How the Federal Budget impacts investors and everyday Australians

• Why rents and property prices continue rising

• The real consequences of anti-investor policy

• What’s happening with inflation, interest rates, and supply

• Why this crisis cannot be solved without dramatically increasing housing stock

The episode also features a real client case study with Stephen and Nikki, sharing how they built their property portfolio, navigated the market, and changed their financial future through property investing.

If you want to understand where Australia’s property market is heading in 2026 and what smart investors are doing next, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
