澳大利亚独立议员Zali Steggall和Monique Ryan所代表的选区经历了全国最显著的房价下滑。[1]其中，北悉尼（Warringah选区）房产中位数下跌8.9%至150万澳元，Boroondara（Kooyong选区）房产中位数下跌8.8%至150万澳元。[1]房价下跌自年初启动，与澳洲储备银行加息周期相时。[1]
两位议员对这一趋势持积极态度，支持联邦政府推行的负扣税和资本利得税改革。[1]Steggall表示，前期增长速度"不可持续，将年轻一代锁定在购房之外"。[1]在Monique Ryan的选区中，民调显示73%的选民支持资本利得税改革，85%支持对负扣税进行限制。[1]更广泛的民众层面，Resolve政调数据显示61%的民众支持房价下跌，62%支持自住房价格下降。[1]
澳洲储备银行行长Michele Bullock表示，负资产率低于1%，金融稳定风险可控。[1]这些议员认为，房价调整将长期有利于改善澳大利亚的住房可负担性危机。[1]
Independent MPs representing Australia's wealthiest suburbs are welcoming substantial property price declines in their electorates, viewing the correction as beneficial for housing affordability. Property values in the electorates of Zali Steggall and Monique Ryan have experienced the steepest falls nationally, with median values in Warringah dropping 8.9 percent to A$1.5 million and in Kooyong falling 8.8 percent to A$1.5 million over the past year [1].
Both MPs have backed federal government reforms to negative gearing and capital gains taxation, arguing these measures will help younger Australians achieve home ownership. Steggall stated that the earlier growth trajectory "was not sustainable and locked out younger generations," while polling in Ryan's electorate shows strong constituent support for the proposed changes, with 73 percent backing capital gains tax reform and 85 percent supporting restrictions on negative gearing [1]. The price declines have coincided with the Reserve Bank's interest rate increases since the start of the year [1].
Reserve Bank Governor Michele Bullock has indicated that financial stability risks remain manageable, noting that negative equity rates remain below 1 percent [1]. Broader polling by Resolve demonstrates public backing for the price correction, with 61 percent of respondents supporting falling house prices and 62 percent specifically favoring decreases in owner-occupied housing values [1].
