What This Means for Home Buyers & Owners
Review your home loan and save
Immediate Impact
- Labor’s election win means increased support for first home buyers and new housing affordability measures, including expanded deposit schemes and government-backed home building initiatives.
- Interest rates and lending conditions may also be influenced by the government’s economic and housing policies.
Long-term Effects
- New policies and increased housing supply could gradually moderate property prices and market trends, while major construction and infrastructure projects are likely to shape property values and support long-term affordability.
Key Policy Areas
Housing Affordability
Government policies, grants, incentives, and regulations directly influence the cost and accessibility of housing for buyers and owners. Labor’s current focus is on increasing supply, supporting renters, and making homeownership more achievable.
First Home Buyer Support
Recent expansions to first home buyer schemes (like the First Home Buyers Guarantee and Help to Buy) and changes to deposit requirements and government incentives are making it easier for first-time buyers to enter the market.
Investor Incentives
Tax benefits and incentives (such as negative gearing and capital gains concessions) for property investors are under review. This may affect demand for investment properties and rental market supply.
Refinancing Benefits
Policies may make refinancing easier or more beneficial, impacting your ability to switch loans or reduce repayments.
Environmental Sustainability
Stricter sustainability policies are raising building standards and energy efficiency requirements. Incentives for green homes and investment in modular/prefabricated housing are growing.
Migration Impact
Migration settings directly impact housing demand and supply, influencing property prices and rental markets. The government is balancing skilled migration with new housing supply initiatives.
Foreign Investment Rules
Tighter regulations on foreign investment are being implemented to reduce competition for local buyers and help moderate property prices, especially in high-demand areas.
Interest Rate Influence
While the Reserve Bank sets the cash rate, government fiscal and housing policies can influence broader economic conditions and mortgage rates, impacting borrowing costs for homeowners.
Construction Stimulus
Major government investments in housing construction-including funding for social, affordable, and first home buyer housing, as well as incentives for apprentices-are aimed at boosting supply, supporting jobs, and improving housing availability.
