Australian Home Prices Could Fall 5% After Tax Changes -- Market Talk

Dow Jones07:44

2344 GMT - Morgan Stanley reckons Australian home prices could fall by 5% as a result of tax changes introduced by the federal government. Investors in existing property make up a third of new housing demand. But their property bets have been scrambled by the removal of negative gearing on existing homes and changes to capital gains tax discounts. "The new equilibrium is likely to see higher rental yields, lower leverage, and a new build price premium," strategist Chris Read says. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
