Australia's 5% deposit scheme was supposed to make home ownership more accessible, and it did, to a point. But a bigger question has been lurking beneath the headlines: did expanding the scheme in October 2025 actually push property prices higher?

 

Junge Ma, Senior Research Analyst at InvestorKit, digs into the lending data and property market figures to find out what really happened.

Watch the full episode and discover exactly which areas moved and which ones were unaffected.
