In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad Mahon reveals what the latest WA housing policies, stamp duty concessions, investor changes, and housing supply initiatives really mean for Perth property investors.

Australia's housing crisis is caused by property investors, right? Wrong! It's caused by a broken system that makes building new homes unfeasible. Most fixes you hear about for the Australian housing market focus on punishing property investors or capping ownership.  While these options sound "fair" on the surface, the truth is they create zero new homes. The real bottleneck in Perth's housing supply is that the numbers don't stack up for anyone building. In this episode of The Perth Property Insider Podcast, I'm sharing what a smarter approach to Perth property, and the wider Australian housing market, looks like. Plus, I cover the three ways housing supply actually gets created and some of the policy mistakes pushing Perth property prices higher. You'll also hear why construction productivity has stalled for decades, how cheaper finance could unlock thousands of new dwellings, and why everyday Perth homeowners could become the next wave of property investors if lending caught up. Tune in to discover ✅ Why taxing property investors doesn't increase housing supply in Australia✅ The real reason Perth property developers aren't building right now✅ The hidden impact of construction costs, taxes, and finance on the property market✅ Why policies like the first home buyer deposit scheme can backfire✅ The untapped potential of infill development, granny flats, and subdivisions in Perth✅ How governments and property investors can partner to boost Australian housing supply✅ Why the current Perth property market could offer a short-term buying opportunity Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:01:00 The Investor Blame Game00:02:20 How Supply Gets Created00:04:40 The 5% Deposit Mistake00:07:40 Cut Taxes On Housing00:10:40 Fund The Infrastructure00:13:40 Partner With Investors00:17:00 Why Nothing Changes00:19:20 Your Next Move - Resource Link • Take our Property Investor Readiness Scorecard to uncover your blind spots and make smarter investment decisions before you buy: https://investorsedge.scoreapp.com/• View upcoming property investor webinars, events, and networking sessions: https://www.investorsedge.com.au/events/ • Thinking of selling?

And Michael's been through over four decades of investing ⏳, seen a lot of these things come up in different ways, shapes and forms before. So I wanted to get him on to give us some larger perspective 📊 as to what we should be worried about and what we shouldn't. But it also raises an important question ❓ What if the biggest headlines worrying investors right now are actually creating the next wave of opportunity 🚀? Interest rate rises 📈Capital gains tax reform discussions 💰Political uncertainty 🏛️Global economic noise 🌍 Everywhere you look 👀, there seems to be another reason to pause or panic 😬. So in this episode 🎧, Michael and I unpack what rising interest rates 📊 and potential CGT changes could really mean for Australian property investors 🏡 heading into 2026 📆. Rather than reacting to short term news 📰, we talk about how experienced investors are positioning themselves for the next phase of the property cycle 🔄 and why periods of uncertainty can often create the best opportunities 💡. If you're trying to make sense of what's really happening beneath the headlines 🧠 and how to make smarter investment decisions in today's market 💼, you're going to get a lot out of this conversation.

Most people say they want life-changing wealth. Very few are willing to pay the price. Not financially. Personally. Because wealth isn’t just built with money…It’s built with trade-offs. Time.Focus.Relationships.Comfort.Ego.Patience. And the hardest part? There’s a long stretch where you sacrifice…And nothing seems to happen. In this episode, I share some truths I wish someone had told me earlier — including a question that completely changed who I listened to and who I didn’t. If you’ve ever felt pulled between building something bigger and keeping everything balanced… You’ll want to hear this.   Resource Links: Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Get email updates about suburb intelligence reports and exclusive invites to our webinars, events, and workshops.

There's been a lot of noise over the last few days around proposed changes to capital gains tax, specifically the CGT discount that investors get when they sell a property they've held for more than 12 months.  Headlines are flying, the WhatsApp groups are lighting up, and I've already had messages asking, should I sell now? Is property about to be smashed? Is this the end of investing as we know it? So today, let's slow this right down.  In this episode, I want to cover five things: Firstly, what the CGT discount is now and what's actually been proposed. Number two, what needs to happen for these changes to actually become law. Three, how this could change investor behavior and strategy. Four, what this might do to the property market, prices, supply and rent. And finally, whether this really raises government revenue or just reshuffles the deck.  By the end of this episode, you should be far clearer and hopefully a lot calmer.   Resource Links: Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Get email updates about suburb intelligence reports and exclusive invites to our webinars, events, and workshops.

Should I sell my property off market?... It’s a question I’ve been asked a lot recently, and the answer might surprise you. Right now, I’m seeing more owners tempted by a friend who “has a buyer,” a quiet offer that feels really strong compared to any recent appraisal they’ve been given, or the idea that property sells itself anyway. So why not save on agent commission and do it yourself? Why not keep that $15,000 to $20,000 you’d otherwise pay? In a hot market, it can feel like you don’t need a sales agent. You don’t need a campaign or buyer competition to get a good result. Let’s face it, you could take a photo of your letterbox, put it online, and probably get offers on Facebook or through one of the major portals. You might think, “I’m getting a good result. I’m getting offers. I’m getting sold.” It may even be higher than what agents have recently appraised your property for. But I want to share a real story that shows what can happen when you take that path… Let’s go inside.   Resource Links: Additional Resource Links from Podcast Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Get email updates about suburb intelligence reports and exclusive invites to our webinars, events, and workshops.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking it all down for everyday investors and families: What could drive an iron ore slowdown, how it impacts the WA economy, and how those changes flow through to jobs and the property markets in the next one to two years and even up to 10 years. This isn't about doom and gloom or a crash, but rather exploring what could happen if there’s a genuine slowdown in the price, demand, or production of iron ore. Even small changes can drastically affect WA’s state revenue, as iron ore is our number one export. That can, in turn, impact jobs, population growth, business confidence, and, yes, property markets, both in Perth and in mining towns.

I’ve been wondering what is being done to increase the land supply and help to make housing more affordable in Perth, while at the same time pondering how it will affect established suburbs and prices. Today, I cover what’s coming for Perth’s housing market and why more supply won’t kill quality property. Even with major land releases, well-located homes with land, lifestyle, and amenities will always win. The real risk is owning stock with no edge when new estates arrive. I look at what is coming North, South and South East of Perth and the likely timeframes and impacts.  Let’s go inside.   Resource Links: Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Get email updates about suburb intelligence reports and exclusive invites to our webinars, events, and workshops.

This episode kicks off the year with a reality check on Perth property, what truly happened in 2025, and what smart investors should be watching closely in 2026. I unpack why the market behaved the way it did, not just the headlines. Prices rose, rents stayed tight, incentives ramped up, and interest rates finally shifted direction, triggering one of the biggest psychological changes we’ve seen in years. How first home buyer policies pulled demand forward, why units outperformed houses, and what the latest data really means for investors, homeowners, and first home buyers. From market fundamentals to supply constraints, yields, vacancy rates, land availability, APRA lending caps, interest rate risks, and three possible scenarios for 2026. I walk through what matters, what doesn’t, and where strategy becomes your edge. If you want to invest smarter in Perth property, this is the episode to catch up on.

The episode rounds out with a comparison of long-term outperformers and undervalued suburbs, highlighting where quality locations win and where mispriced areas may offer opportunity across the Perth property market.

Today, in this throwback episode of Perth Property Insider brings together four major X factors shaping Perth property: AUKUS, Gentrification, Perth Airport City, and Train Station Upzoning. These are long-term structural shifts, not short-term trends. Which one moves the needle the most? How do AUKUS and gentrification change demand? Defence investment is driving jobs and housing pressure in Perth’s south, while higher-income buyers and new amenities are renewing inner-ring suburbs. Are you positioned early or reacting late? What happens when infrastructure meets planning reform? Perth Airport’s $5 billion expansion and state-led train station upzoning are creating new growth corridors and land value uplift.

What do Perth’s high-density planning changes mean for property owners? Today, we talked about how the WA Planning Commission is set to take control of zoning, potentially creating 35,000 new homes around 10 major train stations. Landowners in these areas could see significant land value uplifts, but how will increased density impact property appeal? With more apartment developments and rental demand near transit hubs, will this drive rental yields or cap capital growth in the long term? How will these changes affect affordability, infrastructure, and overall market dynamics?

Want the real facts and on-the-ground insights for what is happening in our Perth property market and why? Today, I discuss why the Perth property market has reached a boiling point, with record-low supply, fast-rising prices across houses, units, and land, and a major shift in affordability toward higher-density living. I cover the latest data across sales, rentals, yield performance, and buyer demand. I also break down the pressure points driving the market, population growth, stalled development, zoning reforms, APRA’s new lending caps, interest-rate expectations, and inflation trends. Plus, I walk through what’s happening on the ground with competition, pricing, and suburb performance.

Have you ever wondered whether it's better to buy quality or quantity of investment properties? Today, I break down the real drivers of long-term real estate wealth and show why strategy must be built around goals, borrowing capacity, cash flow, and lifestyle.  I will unpack how rental yield, capital growth, and risk tolerance determine whether high-end, mid-range, or mixed property selections deliver better outcomes. I compare three investment scenarios to reveal how different property mixes impact passive income, equity growth, and long-term serviceability and outline why it's not a one-size-fits-all answer, giving the importance of a personalised strategic portfolio plan.

Is Perth’s rental market about to change forever? Today, I’m unpacking WA’s massive new Build-to-Rent push, the state government’s bold plan to fix the housing shortage by partnering with developers and offering low-cost finance, generous tax breaks, and long-term rental commitments. We’ll explore what this means for investors, how it could reshape Perth’s skyline, and why it might finally make higher-density living an attractive, sustainable choice. I’ll share whether the new policies are likely to impact supply, be attractive to developers, what the benefits are, what tenants they will suit, and what policies and impacts of build-to-rent have been seen in the other Capital cities across Australia.  Let’s go inside.   Resource Links: Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Get email updates about suburb intelligence reports and exclusive invites to our webinars, events, and workshops.

The AUKUS defence partnership is set to be a game-changer for Perth’s economy and property market! Today, I dive into how billions in federal and state investment will flow into Western Australia over the next decade, transforming HMAS Stirling and the new Henderson naval precinct into major hubs of activity. I break down how this unprecedented investment is already rippling through Perth’s southern suburbs from Rockingham and Safety Bay to Waikiki, Shoalwater, and Baldivis, where demand for housing is tightening fast. For investors, this could mean above-average capital growth and rental yields, especially in established coastal areas close to these hubs. We also unpack the timeline of the AUKUS rollout — from early training programs and naval visits to the arrival of Australia’s first nuclear submarines in the 2030s. If you’re keen to understand how this will shape the next decade for WA property and where the smart money’s heading, let’s go inside.   Resource Links: Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Get email updates about suburb intelligence reports and exclusive invites to our webinars, events, and workshops.

Today, I sit down with Mike Mortlock to uncover the $2.88 billion tax secret many investors are missing — depreciation. Why so many property owners leave money on the table, when to order a depreciation schedule, and how you can even amend past returns to claim back missed deductions. We also bust the big myth: do you really have to pay it all back when you sell? Mike explains how depreciation and capital gains tax actually work together, and how depreciation boosts your cash flow right when you need it most. Plus, we explore where investors are buying now, why affordable markets like Perth is booming, and how investor behaviour has shifted with better data and buyers’ agents.

There’s been a growing narrative in the media painting property investors as greedy landlords and scapegoats for the housing crisis. But when you look beyond the headlines, the truth tells a very different story. Today, I sit down with Michael Yardney, one of Australia’s leading property strategists, to unpack the real numbers, the overlooked facts, and the critical role investors play in our housing system. Together, we break down why more Australians are choosing to rent—even when they can afford to buy—and how ‘mum and dad’ investors are stepping in to provide housing where government supply falls short. We also dive into the $40 billion in taxes property investors contribute every year, including GST, stamp duty, land tax, and council rates. This isn’t about rorting the system—it’s about funding it. If you’re a property investor, a first home buyer, or just someone curious about the housing debate, this episode will challenge your thinking and offer real insight into what’s going on.
