Australia's Housing Market About to Shock Everyone

Welcome back to The CEO Breakdown with John Saade. Australia’s property market may be entering one of its biggest corrections in decades, and the warning signs are getting harder to ignore. In this episode, John breaks down the growing pressure on the housing market, including falling auction clearance rates, weakening buyer sentiment, investor hesitation, and why Sydney and Melbourne may be facing the biggest downside risk. John unpacks the impact of higher interest rates, changes to negative gearing, CGT reform, SMSF lending restrictions, and the broader policy shifts that are reshaping property investing across Australia. He also reacts to commentary around housing affordability, whether falling property prices are actually a bad thing, and why the gap between wages and house prices has become increasingly unsustainable for younger Australians. Beyond property, John dives into the debate around employee pay rises, whether higher salaries actually improve performance, and how employers should think about rewarding staff in an inflationary environment. The episode also covers key 1 July financial changes including Division 296 super tax, payday super, the $20,000 instant asset write off, and why testamentary trusts may become one of the most valuable wealth planning tools following Labor’s latest tax reforms. Finally, John responds to viewer questions on housing, CGT and economic policy, including whether Australia’s property obsession has gone too far.
