Hosts Ciaran O'Brien and Peter O'Malley unpack major government announcements set to reshape Sydney’s property market. From new first home buyer incentives to large-scale rezoning plans, these policy shifts aim to boost affordability and supply — but will they actually deliver, or simply push prices higher?

- Treasury’s claim of only 0.5% price impact vs. historical evidence of price inflation from incentives
- Removal of income limits potentially opening benefits to higher earners
- Chris Minns’ announcement of Willara station completion and rezoning for 10,000 homes
- High-density strategy around transport hubs to reduce car dependency
- Inflation figures at 2.8% reducing chances of a September rate cut
- Electricity costs emerging as a key inflation driver
- Auction clearance rates improving to 56.5%, with equal split between sold prior and under the hammer
- Stale listings moving as signs of a heating market emerge ahead of spring
