Cash rate decisions and reactions, trust account abuses, and Australia’s continued housing recovery.
Welcome back to REB’s weekly round-up of headline stories and news that are important not only for the real estate sector, but also for the state of the Australian property market more broadly.

Here, we cover off some of the big changes in property tax coming up.
