In 40 days, the Federal Budget could change how every investment property in this country gets taxed. The Senate report is out, Treasury is modelling the numbers, and the CBA CEO has gone on national TV backing the change. This is not speculation; this is policy in motion. And the number one question I’m hearing from investors is: “Should I sell before the rules change?” I went through the Senate report, Treasury’s modelling, Senator Pocock’s cross-party proposal, all of it. My team ran its own numbers, and we came to one conclusion: 90% of people are focused on the wrong thing. What’s actually changing isn’t whether property is worth investing in.

The RBA raised the cash rate 25 basis points to 4.10% on March 17, 2026, reversing three cuts made in 2025 that had taken rates from 4.35% down to 3.60%. The board voted 5:4 — the closest split on record — yet every member agreed rates needed to rise. The reversal caught the market off guard. Between February and August 2025, the RBA cut three times. Then on February 3, 2026, it flipped and hiked to 3.85%. Within six months Australia went from a cutting cycle straight back into hikes. By March, ASX futures priced a 70% probability of a further increase. Reuters polled 30 economists and 77% called a hike.
