Don't kid yourself now - a market is a market. And that means the market may not pay what you want for your property or indeed any other asset you own if your asking price is too high.
I make mention of this, because I can tell you our data is now showing 28.5% of total advertised residential properties for sale have been sitting on the market for over 180 days. In Melbourne, its 19% of properties - nearly 1 in 5 properties you see on the market have been for sale for half a year or more. Sydney is at 17%. Yes, its typically worse out in the rural areas but stale properties in the cities are rising fast on our data.
Dont worry, it's only going to get worse the longer the housing downturn stays with us...
So what to do if you are a property seller? Listen to some hard truths from your agent. Get reliable property data. Receive an independent valuation.
Now every property will have buyers if the price is right so don't be silly. If you list your property way above the market in current times, it wont sell, and worse, the longer it lingers on the market, the more potential buyers think there might be something else wrong with the property.
So be smart now. List at fair market or save yourself some money and time (for yourself and your agent) and don't list at all.

Here’s a screen shot of the funds being put across to the One Nation account.

I have never seen an Australian Prime Minister treated with such contempt. However, Albanese has brought it upon himself. He claims immigration has been reduced by 42%. Lie. In February he brought in 3,500 immigrants per day. The highest record in our history. He is still bringing in 1,100 every day. He brought in 26,500 Afghans this year. He brought in 3,000 unvetted Gazans. He has brought back Isis terrorists but we don’t know the real number. He lied about assisting them, so The Tooth Fairy gave them their passports?
He has allowed antisemitism to flourish and he is solely responsible for Bondi. He was warned but because he loves Muslims he did not want to upset them. He has thrown women and girls under the bus. He allows men to be placed in women’s prisons. Women have been raped. He allows the continued mutilation of children and sanctions giving them untested puberty blockers which have left life long medical problems. He calls these subjects “social” grievances.
He has spent taxpayer funds on white elephants. The failed Voice and I have lost track of the wasted billions on green energy such as hydrogen. He is ploughing billions into renewables which will have to be renewed in 15-20 years time. He has given billions to UNWRA, The Taliban and Palestine not to mention the $30 mil he gave to Fiji, they are building a nuclear plant. Great.
He is taking from Queensland our rightful GST funds for disaster relief. Queensland has the most natural disasters than any other state. Where is our share going? Why Victoria of course. To prop up the corrupt Victorian government. To be used for the train going nowhere and that no body wants.
He has brought in tax changes that he promised 50 times he would not do. Check on how many properties have been sold over the last 4 years by Labor pollies. They knew they were planning this. He and Chalmers don’t have any business or financial acumen. Been on thel public purse since Uni. Yet Chalmers said if we did not agree with him we were “ungrateful selfish” people? Chalmers and Albanese have called us cookers, crackpots, racists, bigots, Nazis and now selfish.
One Nation put him in his place. He has humiliated himself. He believes his own lies. What is happening in the UK has already started here. Machete wielding Sudanese youth roaming our streets and killing us. Even children have been killed in Melbourne. He has let in people who hate us if we are white.
If Aussies do not unite against this communist government (who are jailing and fining our farmers for not wanting transmission lines) then we are lost. We have to get them out of office asap. We are in a great deal of trouble. I have joined One Nation because they have commonsense policies. This country has been lead by woke, weak, arrogant, ignorant ideologists who never had a real job. Any politician who thinks a man can become a woman by putting on a frock cannot be taken seriously. We are the laughing stock of the world. Lying so prolifically to people who elected you should never be rewarded. Fire The Liar (s).🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Labor is destroying the Australia we know.
Albo and his MP’s lie and cheat Aussies out of home ownership, a decent standard of living and a comfortable retirement.
One Nation has proven we can win lower house seats - so it’s time to target Labor held seats.
Help us raise money to Fire The Liar. Albo and Labor must go!

Australian homes should be prioritised for Australians. One Nation makes no apologies for putting Australians first.
Foreign owners – temporary visa holders and foreign citizens residing overseas – would be given two years to sell their Australian residential properties under One Nation’s policy.
Permanent residents have been accepted to settle in Australia permanently. They live here, work here, pay taxes here and build their lives here. Many are on the path to citizenship. One Nation’s policy does not require them to sell their homes.
Governments routinely regulate foreign investment in housing, agriculture, infrastructure and strategic assets.
The Commonwealth already bans most foreign persons, including temporary residents and foreign-owned companies, from purchasing established dwellings, subject to exceptions.
Labor extended that ban in the 2026–27 Budget. One Nation’s policy effectively only extends these bans to new homes. Politicians attacking One Nation’s policy are attacking a principle the government already applies.
#BREAKING Former PM, Tony Abbott, appeared on the Today show with Karl Stefanovic and says the “best way to make things better, is to have a Government that is actually capable of making a difference”
Stefanovic then countered “it might very well be that the Liberal party’s existential threat is Pauline Hanson”
Abbott “my job is to get rid of the worst Government in living memory”
“This Government is making everything worse, the emissions obsession, union affiliation, identity politics which is ruining our society”
“In the end this is a Government that doesn’t believe in Australia”
“The fact Albanese can’t go out into public without standing in front of 3 flags, the fact that he can’t get up to make a speech without acknowledging that some Australians are more special than others, shows that this guy is just not up to the job”
Hard to argue with him.
Australia had some of the cheapest electricity in the world in the 2000's when Liddell Power Station was in the prime of its life.
Today, this government is celebrating literally blowing up Liddell with nothing to replace it and deliver cheap electricity.
This madness has to end. This destruction of productive infrastructure is a national shame not something to celebrate.
End Net-Zero. Withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Build Coal.
Here is my advice for avoiding 47% CGT on shares.
Step 1 - Take all your money, put it in the bank, and collect 5% interest.
Step 2 - Get a doctor to diagnose you as autistic, and register for the NDIS.
Step 3 - Buy a PlayStation 5, sit on the couch, and punch cones.
The Australian government is going to take 47% of my income and my capital gains and give it to someone who doesn’t want to work. And this will make it easier for me to buy a house.
In 2009 Australia’s top marginal tax rate of 45% kicked in at $180k
If this had been properly indexed to inflation, today it would kick in around $280k
Instead, it hits at $190k
This is a dishonest and stealth form of theft
We don’t hate these politicians enough !!
Aussies: “We need to minimise immigration.”
Gov: “No, we aren’t doing that.”
Aussies: “Rent is too expensive.”
Gov: “Good point. We’ll increase costs for landlords so they have to charge you more.”
Aussies..."Electricity is too expensive"
Gov..."We're committed to net zero...regardless of the cost to you!"
Aussies: “I can’t keep up with the cost of living.”
Gov: “Too bad. We can’t stop spending more than we’re making, so inflation will keep rising.”
Aussies: “The NDIS is scamming taxpayers out of millions every year.”
Gov: “Yeah, but we don’t want to offend the NDIS scammers — they might call us racist.”
Aussies: “Okay fine, we gave you a chance. We’re voting @OneNationAus.”
Gov: “You filthy, uneducated racist.”
Removing the CGT discount on shares is a garbage move.
People buying ETFs aren't the reason the housing market is broken. In fact, many use them to save for a home.
Gen Z and Millennials are finally building wealth through being the biggest users of micro-investing apps (69% of users), and the Govt just screwed them over 🤷♀️. #AusPol #Budget2026
Australia has recorded its third-highest February intake of overseas arrivals, with almost 100,000 people moving to the country.
New figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show 96,110 net permanent and long‑term (NPLT) arrivals landed in February 2026,
