By the time the market feels safe, the opportunity is usually gone. George Markoski and Christina Markoski go through why in this episode of the Positive Property Show, covering the property clock, the difference between risk and discomfort, and why Melbourne is now sitting at the same position Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide were in before they ran.

George also covers the Ray White warning that the budget's tax changes could push rents up by nearly a third, why rents are rising twice as fast as wages, why falling prices make the supply problem worse not better, and AMP's new 40-year mortgage with a 10-year interest-only period.

Investor credit growth for established properties has dropped 52% in seven months. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski goes through what that means for buyers, investors, and anyone trying to navigate a market that is now moving in two completely different directions at once.

George covers the trust tax changes forcing hundreds of thousands of Australians to restructure, the retirement savings figure the government considers adequate for a comfortable retirement, and a Gold Coast sunset clause case where developers deliberately dragged out a build until contracts could be terminated and properties worth double could be resold. He also updates the no-go zones list and announces a live website to replace the annual release.

Australia's property market correction is happening and the balance of power has moved to buyers. George and Christina go through what that means for investors in this episode of the Positive Property Show, including urgent advice for anyone holding a contract with the Bathla Group, which just entered voluntary administration with $3 billion in liabilities and 25,000 contracts affected.

The SMSF borrowing ban is now in effect.

As of August 12, Australians can no longer use their self-managed super fund to borrow money to buy property. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and super expert Jeff Bennett go through what investors can still do inside super, why the government has been steadily restricting superannuation for 20 years, and what this means for anyone building a property portfolio with retirement in mind.

George also covers the RBA holding at 4.35% while every other major Western central bank has already cut rates, why inflation won't return to target until 2028, and why the high-end negative gearing market for luxury properties is now collapsing under the new rules.

The government says housing approvals are rising and the crisis is being managed. George Markoski and Adam Albrecht go through the numbers in this episode of the Positive Property Show to show why that claim does not hold up.

Approvals are 20% below target. Completions are 27% below. A record number of homes are stuck in the construction pipeline while completion rates have barely moved since 2020. Developers cannot start new projects because previous ones are not finishing, held back by expensive project finance, trade shortages, and high material costs. Australia is adding 236,000 new residents a year and building 174,000 homes. The shortage is not being solved. It is compounding. George and Adam are both currently buying, and they explain exactly why.

Every capital city is now in correction and buyer confidence has dropped to its lowest level in years. George Markoski's read in this episode of the Positive Property Show is that this is a pause, not a crash, and the data backs that up.

Australia is still building 66,600 fewer homes per year than it needs. The 295,000 dwellings sitting in the approval pipeline are approved on paper but nowhere near built in reality. Every month the market softens, the housing shortage quietly gets worse. George goes through why sentiment cooling and fundamentals collapsing are two very different things, and why the investors who understand that difference are the ones best positioned when confidence returns.

Australian property is no longer moving as one market. Since the federal budget, new builds and established investor-grade properties have been heading in opposite directions, and most investors have not yet realised which side of that divide they are on.

In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski goes through the two-tier split in detail, debunks the rent freeze push, and explains why the reforms intended to help renters have already made rents rise faster than Treasury forecast. Peter Mulligan also joins live to share how he and his wife Isolde turned a decade of property inaction into $252,300 in profit, and why they are still looking for their next property in retirement.

The rental crisis is already here, and it is getting worse.

Australian renters have effectively copped an $11,300 annual pay cut, rent growth has accelerated every single quarter since early 2025, and not one major political party has a plan that addresses why.

In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski goes through the structural forces driving the crisis, why the government's own policy changes are making it worse, and where the opportunity sits for investors who understand the full picture.
