We tlk to Terence Hammond a mortgage broker about Sydney’s median house price has jumped more than $121,000 in just 12 months, and unit prices are up another $52,000. First-home buyers are abandoning the dream of buying where they actually want to live — instead turning to investment properties as their only entry point into the market.

Australia’s real estate market in 2025 looks very different from the roller-coaster of 2024. Interest rates, buyer sentiment, supply shortages, investor confidence, and regional migration have all shifted.

Even with fears of an AI-sector correction, Australia’s housing market keeps defying expectations. Eleven consecutive quarters of growth highlight a market driven by migration, low supply and the basic truth: people still need somewhere to live. Plus Australia’s property boom has triggered a rush of new agents—but up to 80% quit within a year. Unpredictable income, limited support, and weak marketing skills push many out before the...

We talk with Anthony Landahl, the Managing Director of Equilibria Finance and mortgage broker about Australia’s property market is tougher than ever for first-home buyers and upgraders.

We talk with David Lipman  in Penrith. Buying a house in Sydney with a $950,000 budget feels impossible — but new Domain data shows there are still pockets of affordability. From Penrith to other outer-ring suburbs beyond 28km from the CBD, buyers can still secure value through townhouses, villas and duplexes.

We talk with Nicola Powell the Chief of Research and Economics from Domain about Domain's 2025 Real Estate Wrap, a year of relief—but not a full recovery. Affordability barely shifted as prices kept climbing through an 11th straight quarter of growth, driven by strong population growth and limited housing supply.

We talk with Omkar Joshi from Opal Capital about if an AI-driven stock market bubble pops, many expect property prices to sink—but history suggests the opposite. A sharp equity correction could push interest rates lower, boosting borrowing power and lifting demand in a supply-tight market.

We talk with Scott Mitchell from Mitchell's Realty about multiple-offer situations, you usually get one shot. No second chances. Your offer must be your strongest from the start. Make sure your finance is fully pre-approved, avoid “subject to sale” if possible, and line up your own property’s contract first so your offer stands clean and strong. https://www.mitchellsrealty.com.au/

Australia’s property market is moving fast — and not in the same direction. Victoria’s rental market is set for major reform that could reshape landlord and tenant expectations. Sydney is pumping at medium-high heat with rising demand and tighter stock levels. Meanwhile, nationally the market is holding steady with arrears expected to stay low as interest rates pause.
