How taxes and development fees inflate new housing costs

Property prices in Australia are not just high by accident, they are high on purpose. In this episode we break down why governments and councils are invested in keeping values inflated, how land shortages and building bottlenecks will shape the market, and what that means for first home buyers and investors. You will learn the strategies that can help you navigate a system designed to protect wealth and keep prices rising, and why 2026 could be the year that decides who wins and who gets left behind.
