The $100 Billion No One is Talking About: What Happens When the Money Returns?

What happens when billions of dollars in property investment capital gets pushed to the sidelines?

This week, Sammy Gordon breaks down the flow of capital through the Australian property market and what happens when investor sentiment drops, policy tightens and capital begins to pool rather than move.

Using the analogy of a river and a dam, Sammy explores the potential impact of changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, what reduced investor activity could mean for rents and property prices, and what could happen if that pent-up capital eventually floods back into the market.

Sammy unpacks the numbers, the potential timeline and why periods of uncertainty can create opportunity for investors willing to look beyond current sentiment and position themselves for what could come next.
