Election on 7 November: what it means for property
From First Home Loans to capital gains tax, here's what the election could change for buyers and investors.
AI summary
The upcoming 7 November election could bring significant changes for property buyers and investors, even in a currently "subdued" market.
Key proposals to watch include:
- National: Raising the income cap for First Home Loans, potentially helping more first home buyers.
- Labour: A capital gains tax on investment properties remains a possibility.
Regardless of the outcome, mortgage interest tax rules are expected to remain unchanged. Broader economic factors like the OCR and cost of living will also continue to shape the market.
First home buyers: a bigger door to low-deposit loans?
Investors: capital gains tax is back on the table
One thing that won't change, either way
Investors have plenty on their plate already
Election promises are only part of the picture
So what does it mean for you?
