Dave, Cate and Mike dig into the immediate investor reaction to the negative gearing changes and the trends taking shape in their wake. Is the shift toward yield over growth a genuine strategic rethink, or is it serviceability and higher rates forcing investors' hands? Cate shares what she's hearing from buyers week to week, while Mike unpacks why resi investors are increasingly eyeing commercial property, small retail, offices and warehousing, and how differently that asset class behaves once you move past the headline yield.
The Trio weigh up what investors might be compromising on when they chase yield over growth, and whether that trade-off is fully understood.
