- Auction clearance rates remained soft at the weekend, with preliminary figures from REA Group showing markets tipping in favour of buyers.
But are prices heading lower as a result of the impact of changes to property taxes for investors or rate hikes?
Senior economist from REA Group's PropTrack, Angus Moore says interest rate hikes have clearly put downward pressure on home prices in Sydney and Melbourne.
However, he says what's keeping house prices strong for the rest of the country is supply remains constrained.
He says there's not enough data yet to see how changes in the federal budget to negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount have impacted house prices, but PropTrack's estimates show it will probably have a modest impact in the order of one to five per cent over the longer term.

Sheppard also looks at what the creation of another party would mean for Australia's two-party system and how Australians vote.

- Housing is suddenly one of the biggest fights in Australian politics.
After years of timidity, both the government and opposition are now throwing punches on tax, migration, infrastructure, and supply in what could become a genuinely consequential moment for how Australia deals with housing.
Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz chairs the National Housing Supply and Affordability Council, the body tracking whether Australia is getting anywhere near fixing the problem. She also spent a decade running Mirvac, one of the country’s biggest property developers, so she knows both the policy machinery and the commercial reality of trying to get homes built.
She joins Alan Kohler to talk about why the 1.2 million homes target is “suitably ambitious” but already off track, why demand-side policies can be “seductive”, and why the real grind still comes back to supply.
They also get into the bigger structural mess - tax breaks, planning, productivity, modular construction, build-...

The poll of more than 6,000 voters showed Pauline Hanson's party could wipe out the Nationals and heavily depleted Liberals, as well as flip many Labor-held electorates.
Senator David Pocock said the rising popularity of the minor party and of right-wing politics was a reflection of the public's dissatisfaction with major parties.
"There is a lot of frustration and anger out there in the community that our political system is not working for Australians," he said.
"There's this recognition that on so many of these big challenges we are facing, it's not necessarily left versus right, it's actually vested interests and their stranglehold on the major parties versus the Australian people."
