Folks, this could be shaping up to be the biggest risk of 2026…  

Yep. We’re back with one of our MOST popular episodes of the year, our 2026 Property Market Outlook!  

The economy has run hotter than the RBA expected, but higher rates and rising living costs are starting to bite. At the same time, tight supply, strong population growth, and government incentives (such as the 5% deposit scheme) continue to support demand. 

So which force wins? 

In this deep-dive outlook episode, Ben takes the reins to break down the macro forces shaping the year, from inflation and interest rates to population growth and supply constraints, and what it all means for you. 

Then it’s state by state:

  • Why Perth’s supply imbalance still underpins growth 
  • Why Brisbane and Adelaide are more sensitive to investor activity 
  • Why Darwin is booming…but timing matters
  • Why Canberra remains structurally challenging 
  • Why Hobart is steady, but population constrained 
  • And why Melbourne may be the counter-cyclical opportunity for long-term investors 

Understand the signal and ignore the noise. Tune in now!
