In this episode, Sam and Brendan break down Labor’s new first homebuyer policies following the federal election. Key changes include a $1.5M purchase cap, no income threshold, and the Help to Buy scheme, where the government co-owns up to 40% of a home to boost affordability.
They explore how these changes could reshape buyer behaviour, unlock opportunities for essential workers, and shift demand in sub-$1M markets—while also questioning whether it’s a Band-Aid solution to the deeper housing crisis caused by limited supply.
A must-listen for first homebuyers, investors, and anyone navigating the changing property finance landscape.
