98: Budget Special - What's in it for homebuyers? With Domain chief of research Dr Nicola Powell

This episode was dropped right after the 2025 Federal Budget. And cor, what a whopper! Haz and Dom spent a large portion of the news dissecting it all. This includes a surprise tax cut, energy bill relief, HECS relief, and cheaper pints and tobacco excise raging on.
We also dug deeper with the Domain chief of research Dr Nicola Powell on what it means for homebuyers, as well as if there's any implications for the looming federal election. There weren't many surprises on housing in the budget because a lot of the items had been announced already. Nicola also said the two parties aren't drastically different - historically - when it comes to housing, and the market is bigger than who's in power.
We also spoke to resident finance journalist Denise Raward on 'tenants in common' - what it means, and how to get two different home loans on the same house.
