Adelaide has recorded its third consecutive monthly decline, with values falling 0.8% in August and 1.6% across the three winter months. For a market that spent much of the past two years as one of the country’s most consistent performers, three months of continuous falls marks a definitive change in direction. The scale of what…

You’ve heard every stereotype going around about property investors. Some commentators paint us as reckless speculators piling into debt we can’t handle, while others imagine a nation of mum-and-dad battlers gambling their super on a rental property they barely understand. The truth, according to the most comprehensive dataset the Reserve Bank has ever had access…

August delivered a further 1.1% fall, leaving the market 6.5% below its November cyclical high and 6.8% below the March 2022 peak. Melbourne is not correcting from a recent high — it…
The Australian government is attempting to overcome a serious housing shortage by constructing 1.2 million new homes over five years. To be frank, the government won’t be building any houses, yet the industry responsible for building them is losing companies at an alarming rate. The problem is particularly severe in New South Wales, where a…
