Australia’s property market has changed gears again. For the last few years, we’ve had a market driven by strong population growth, a chronic shortage of homes, tight rental markets and buyers who were desperate to get in before prices moved further away from them. But according to Domain’s latest FY2027 Forecast Report, we’re now entering…
Property investors have somehow become Australia’s favourite scapegoat. The media paints us as greedy landlords. Politicians use us as an easy target for the housing crisis. Social media commentators accuse us of locking first-home buyers out of the market. In over 50 years of property involvement, I’ve never seen the “us versus them” divide so…
It seems that everyone was an investment genius when the property markets were booming. But when times get tough it’s important to listen to those who have the perspective of having lived through a number of economic cycles and who take a holistic approach to wealth creation. And clearly we are now in interesting, and…

More investors than ever are looking interstate right now. But here’s the interesting thing…most of them aren’t doing it strategically – they’re doing it reactively. They’re frustrated with prices in their own city. They feel like they’ve “missed the boat.” Or they’re chasing what they’ve heard is the next hotspot. And that’s where things start…
