Central Coast Property Advisory Service

🏗️ NSW is 58,300 homes behind its housing target.

Two years into the National Housing Accord, Australia has built only 74% of the homes it planned to, and NSW is at just 61% (Australian Property Institute, Oct 2026). Less new supply means continued pressure on housing across the Central Coast, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter.

Home becoming a rental?
Turning your family home into a rental is a bigger decision than it first appears.
Once the property starts earning rent, Capital Gains Tax can enter the picture later. The figure that often matters is not today’s sale price — it is the market value at the date the use changed.
That is why many accountants ask for a CGT valuation at that point, not years after the event. A professional valuation creates a clear record of value, based on the property and the market at the relevant date.
If you are planning this change on the Central Coast, speak with your accountant first. If they say a valuation is needed, Central Coast Property Advisory Service can prepare it — including a retrospective valuation if the change already happened.
Question for your adviser: “What date does the valuation need to be as at?”

Commercial Property Valuations – How They Differ from Residential
When it comes to determining the value of a property, commercial and residential properties are assessed using many of the same fundamental valuation principles. However, commercial property valuations can be considerably more complex because the property's income-producing potential, leases, tenants and investment risks can have a significant influence on its market value.
For investors, business owners, developers and property owners considering buying or selling a commercial asset, understanding how a commercial property valuation works can provide valuable insight before making an important financial decision.
Central Coast Property Advisory Service provides independent property valuations across the Central Coast and Lake Macquarie, including valuations for commercial, residential, industrial and rural properties. Their valuation services are supported by property inspections, market research, sales evidence and detailed valuation calculations. (Central Coast Property)

The recent 2026 Federal Budget has delivered the most significant overhaul to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) rules in over 25 years, directly impacting property investors, homeowners, and SMSF trustees across Australia. With the replacement of the longstanding 50% CGT discount with inflation-based cost base indexation and the introduction of a 30% minimum tax on real capital gains from 1 July 2027, the need for precise, independent property valuations has never been greater. Central Coast Property Advisory Service stands ready as the best and most cost-effective provider of CGT valuations on the NSW Central Coast and Lake Macquarie regions. Our experienced team of Certified Practising Valuers delivers reliable, ATO-compliant reports that help clients navigate these complex changes while minimising compliance costs and maximising accuracy. The reforms introduce transitional arrangements for assets held across the 1 July 2027 threshold. Taxpayers may need to determine property values as at that date—either through a professional valuation or an ATO-approved apportionment formula. Inaccurate valuations could lead to disputes with the ATO, higher effective tax rates, or missed opportunities to legitimately reduce taxable gains through proper indexation. Failing to secure accurate valuations now could prove far more expensive in the long run through penalties, audits, or overpaid tax.

EASING MARKET CONDITIONS
CoreLogic’s national Home Value Index fell 1.1 per cent in December 2022, which brought overall values 5.3 per cent lower over the 2022 calendar year.

According to the index, the worsening monthly rate of decline across Melbourne, which lifted 40 bps between November and December’s declines (0.8 per cent and 1.2 per cent, respectively), largely contributed to the re-acceleration in the downwards trend.

Declines also accelerated across Sydney, Adelaide, Darwin, and Canberra month-on-month. However, Brisbane and Hobart saw the pace of declines ease, while Perth saw value movements remain “slightly positive” for two consecutive months.

The 5.3 per cent decline in housing values marked the first time that national home values fell over the calendar year since 2018, while the 12 months to December also marked the largest calendar year decline since the global financial crisis in 2008 when values were down 6.4 per cent.

Sydney and Melbourne saw the largest annual fall at 12.1 per cent and 8.1 per cent. Hobart, the ACT, and Brisbane also recorded an annual drop in housing values, falling by 6.9 per cent, 3.3 per cent, and 1.1 per cent, respectively.

On the other hand, three capitals recorded values rise over 2022 with Adelaide at 10.1 per cent, Darwin at 4.3 per cent, and Perth at 3.6 per cent.

Tim Lawless, research director at CoreLogic, commented this has “been a year of contrasts”, with housing values mostly rising in the first four months of 2022, but falling sharply following the Reserve Bank’s fastest rate tightening cycle on record.

“Our daily index series saw national home values peak on May 7, shortly after the cash rate moved off emergency lows,” Mr Lawless said.

“Since then, CoreLogic’s national index has fallen -8.2 per cent, following a dramatic 28.9 per cent rise in values through the upswing.”

Housing values generally remain well above pre-COVID-19 levels, despite the downturn across various areas of the country. Dwelling values remained 11.7 per cent above where they were prior to the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020 across the combined capital cities and combined regional values are still up 32.2 per cent.

01/12/2022

According to Corelogic National home values continued to fall in November, down -1.0% over the month to be -7.0%, or approximately -$53,400, below April’s peak.

The easing in the rate of decline is mostly emanating from Sydney and Melbourne, but is also evident across many of the smaller capitals and most regional markets.

Across the capital cities, Brisbane and Hobart (both down -2.0%) led the monthly rate of decline in November, while at the other end of the spectrum, Perth values held firm and Darwin nudged 0.2% higher over the month. Perth and Darwin markets are yet to record any signs of a material reversal in housing prices.
