Winners & losers of the 2026 Budget for property buyers & investors

The 2026 Federal Budget may completely reshape property investing in Australia. Most people still don’t understand how significant these changes actually are. Buried inside the budget are some of the biggest proposed shifts to negative gearing, capital gains tax, investor behaviour and property demand we’ve seen in decades. And according to David Thomas, the government has very clearly decided who the winners and losers are going to be. In this video, Dave breaks down: What the budget changes actually mean Why the government is trying to change investor behaviour Which property types may struggle over the next 5–10 years Which properties could benefit massively Why new townhouses, apartments and house & land packages may become the “golden child” The potential risks for older apartments and lower-yield investment properties Why yield and cash flow may become far more important moving forward How SMSFs and super funds may reshape parts of the market The 3 investment fundamentals investors still can’t ignore And what smart investors should be thinking about right now Dave also explains why: 83% of investment properties purchased in 2025 were established properties Why that number may dramatically change And what happens to property prices if investor demand shifts away from established stock. This isn’t fearmongering. It’s about understanding how investor incentives may change, where demand may flow next, and how to position yourself intelligently moving forward.
