Brisbane may already be turning. Interstate investors may be splitting cities into two-tier markets. And 200+ valuers across Australia and New Zealand are the first to know it. 

Ben is joined by Preston Rowe Paterson‘s Neal Ellis and Greg Sugars, who draw on that ground-level valuer network to unpack what’s really happening in residential property, including the warning signs that headlines are missing. 

The conversation shifts to commercial, where tax changes are pulling more investors beyond residential. 

Does commercial genuinely offer a better opportunity, or are its higher yields hiding bigger risks? 

Vacant offices, oversupplied industrial units, tenant quality, finance costs, year-long vacancy periods: this episode maps out what investors need to understand before making the leap. 

PLUS, you’ll hear:
🏗️ Why housing approvals aren’t translating into completed homes
🏢 The fundamentals of office, retail and industrial property
💰 Why a higher commercial yield doesn’t automatically mean a better investment
📈 Where opportunities may emerge for informed, long-term investors
