The Budget has spooked the housing market and small business owners | Anthony Landahl on Ausbiz

Right now, many Australians are questioning whether this economically illiterate government backs small business owners, entrepreneurship, mum and dad property investors looking to get ahead, young home buyers or those renting.

A tax grab budget dressed up as reform and shrouded in a litany of broken promises has caused anger and disbelief, where bad policy creates uncertainty and unintended consequences. Investors are pausing. Small businesses are angry. And banks are making changes and watching closely.

This week on Ausbiz, I shared what I’m seeing on the ground as a small business owner and mortgage broker:

  • from growing concern and changing sentiments among property investors, young home-buyers and renters looking at higher rents
  • to property investor buying capacity has been impacted
  • to anger from small business owners
  • to how banks are responding and what it could mean for the housing market – not only for investors but young home buyers alike.
