Massive Rug Pull To Crush Australian Housing Market | 2026 Warning (Biko Konstantinos)

Australia's housing market went berserk in 2025 - record highs obliterated, investors shocked with how much profits they’ve made, and the entire country convinced 2026 will deliver even more easy money. But a brutal shift is already ripping through the markets, completely off most people's radar. 2026 could see the mother of all rug pulls, leading to billions of lost equity, forced sales, and house prices finally smashed lower.



A rise in interest rates should tank the housing market. The biggest problem is that house prices have increased due to mass migration. If migrant visas are cancelled, leading to mass deportations, then houses will become more affordable as demand will lesson. Interest rates won't need to rise. However, Australian Government debt has gone out of control causing bond market yields to rise, which translates to higher interest rates no matter what else happens with the economy.
