Has Labor made life harder for first-home buyers | Anthony Landahl on Ausbiz

Investors and first-home buyers are now colliding in the very estates that were once considered the natural entry point into the market.

In Anthony Landahl, Equilibria Finance latest interview with Ausbiz, he discusses how changes to negative gearing and investor behaviour may be creating unintended consequences for housing affordability.

While buyers generally have more choice today, rising listings and a softer market don’t necessarily mean it’s easier to get a foot on the property ladder.

Key talking points:

  • Investors reportedly shifting from established homes to new builds in first-home buyer estates
  • Policy changes impacting investor borrowing capacity and potentially affecting future rental supply
  • Premium housing markets above $2-3 million softening, while affordable segments remain comparatively resilient

The big question: Are these policies improving affordability, or simply changing who first-home buyers are competing against?
