REA Group was set to open Thursday in Sydney trading close to its 52-week low. Its realestate.com.au business put out a weaker housing forecast, citing higher rates and incoming federal tax changes as reasons why combined capital-city home prices should end the year about flat.

Melbourne, June 15, 2026, 08:04 AEST — REA Group shares slid to a 52-week low. Citi analysts raised concerns about a potential housing tax risk, prompting the move. REA Group shares started the week on the back foot after closing at A$143.00 Friday, down 2.81% on the day and nearly 10% lower over the past week. The drop came even as the ASX 200 was in positive territory. Reuters said REA hit an intraday low of A$140.02, its weakest price since July 2023, and off as much as 4.8% at one stage.

• REA Group closed Friday at A$143.00, down 2.81%, while the S&P/ASX 200 rose 1.98% to 8,804.00.• The company’s final buyback notice showed 1,257,405 shares repurchased for A$199,999,934.31.• The next major stock catalyst is the Aug. 6 earnings update, with investors focused on FY27 listing volumes, pricing and tax-policy effects. REA Group Ltd shares ended the week under fresh pressure, closing at A$143.00 on Friday, down A$4.13, or 2.81%, after trading as low as A$140.02. The fall stood out because the broader S&P/ASX 200 rallied 1.98% to 8,804.00, suggesting investors were reacting to company-specific worries rather than simply following the market.

REA Group shares slumped 2.06% to close at A$149.43 on Wednesday, dropping A$3.15, as investors set aside its strong property portal lead and started to question if Australia’s tax moves could slow housing turnover and cut into paid listings. The broader market managed a gain. REA lagged even as real estate stocks did well. The S&P/ASX 200 jumped 49.1 points to 8,653.3, with the real estate sector up about 1.8% as lower yields boosted the group. But REA fell, with the stock hit by broker downgrades on future residential listing volumes.

REA Group Ltd shares dropped on Tuesday after two brokers cut their ratings on the online property classifieds company. The news left its A$200 million buyback looking like less support.

It closed just above its May 28 52-week low of A$148.77, and sits roughly 42% below its 12-month high, based on Intelligent Investor price data.

The Australian Securities Exchange was shut Monday for the King’s Birthday holiday, leaving Friday’s close as the most recent cash-market price.
