Holding Higher for Longer: What the RBA Really Thinks About Inflation in 2026

Is Australian inflation really cooling, or is the worst still ahead for borrowers and property investors? The headlines say one thing. Yet the Reserve Bank of Australia is saying something very different.  And the difference between those two stories will shape interest rates, mortgage repayments, and the Australian property market for the next 12 months. In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad Mahon breaks down the latest Australian inflation data, the RBA's next move on interest rates, and what it all means for property investors, borrowers, and homeowners across Australia. Whilst headline inflation has started to ease, the bigger issue is underlying inflation - especially services inflation, rental pressure, wage growth, housing shortages, and government spending.  Hit play to get the full picture before the next RBA announcement, and learn what every property investor in Australia needs to do right now to stay ahead. In this video, we cover: ✅The truth about inflation and whether it's really under control✅Why the RBA may hold interest rates higher for longer in 2026✅Headline inflation vs underlying inflation (and the one number the RBA actually watches)✅How rental inflation and the Australian housing shortage are pushing CPI up✅Why federal government spending may be working against the RBA✅How fuel prices, energy costs, and the Iran conflict are feeding Australian inflation✅What higher interest rates really mean for Australian borrowers and property investors✅The important metrics that now matter more than capital growth Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:03:00 Headline vs underlying00:05:40 RBA cautious thinking00:08:40 The government spending problem00:11:50 Tax uncertainty00:15:10 Energy transition costs00:16:40 What happens next00:19:50 Investor takeaway - Resource Link • Get your Rental Health Score now to ensure your Perth rental property is optimised for returns and sleeping well at night https://rentalhealth.scoreapp.com/ Would you like to get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad Mahon breaks down the proposed WA rental reforms.

The Property Tax Changes That Could Reshape Australia’s Housing Market

The 2026 federal budget just dropped a bombshell on every Australian property investor - and most of the talk about it flying around online are dead wrong.  In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad Mahon reveals exactly what the proposed negative gearing changes and capital gains tax overhaul really mean for the Perth property market - and Australian real estate investing overall. One of the big questions is whether these changes will actually cool the market in Perth and across Australia… or accidentally make the rental crisis worse. Jarrad also breaks down which parts of the Perth property market could become even more competitive, which assets may struggle, and why the next phase could separate strategic investors from everyone else. If you own property, plan to invest, or want to understand where rents and house prices may head next, this episode will give you clarity. In this episode, we cover: ✅What the proposed negative gearing changes actually mean for Australian property investors✅How the capital gains tax changes could affect long-term property returns✅Why the Perth property market and WA property market could stay highly competitive✅Which price brackets may outperform in the next phase (this might surprise you)✅What factors may become even more valuable in the Perth property market over the coming years✅How policy risk, buffers, structuring, and professional advice are becoming more important Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:02:50 Capital gains shake-up00:04:45 Migration meets housing shortage00:08:50 Building industry under pressure00:12:10 Property prices fragment00:15:10 First home buyer boom00:19:10 High-end market cools00:21:10 Smart investor playbook00:25:40 Active value-add plays00:29:10 The decade ahead If you want to know how to position yourself before the rest of the market wakes up, hit play and take notes. - Resource Link • Would you like to get clear on your current property’s outlook and the best strategy for you?

Punishing Investors Won’t Fix Housing. This Will.

Australia's housing crisis is caused by property investors, right? Wrong! It's caused by a broken system that makes building new homes unfeasible. Most fixes you hear about for the Australian housing market focus on punishing property investors or capping ownership.  While these options sound "fair" on the surface, the truth is they create zero new homes. The real bottleneck in Perth's housing supply is that the numbers don't stack up for anyone building. In this episode of The Perth Property Insider Podcast, I'm sharing what a smarter approach to Perth property, and the wider Australian housing market, looks like. Plus, I cover the three ways housing supply actually gets created and some of the policy mistakes pushing Perth property prices higher. You'll also hear why construction productivity has stalled for decades, how cheaper finance could unlock thousands of new dwellings, and why everyday Perth homeowners could become the next wave of property investors if lending caught up. Tune in to discover ✅ Why taxing property investors doesn't increase housing supply in Australia✅ The real reason Perth property developers aren't building right now✅ The hidden impact of construction costs, taxes, and finance on the property market✅ Why policies like the first home buyer deposit scheme can backfire✅ The untapped potential of infill development, granny flats, and subdivisions in Perth✅ How governments and property investors can partner to boost Australian housing supply✅ Why the current Perth property market could offer a short-term buying opportunity Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro00:01:00 The Investor Blame Game00:02:20 How Supply Gets Created00:04:40 The 5% Deposit Mistake00:07:40 Cut Taxes On Housing00:10:40 Fund The Infrastructure00:13:40 Partner With Investors00:17:00 Why Nothing Changes00:19:20 Your Next Move - Resource Link • Take our Property Investor Readiness Scorecard to uncover your blind spots and make smarter investment decisions before you buy: https://investorsedge.scoreapp.com/• View upcoming property investor webinars, events, and networking sessions: https://www.investorsedge.com.au/events/ • Thinking of selling?
