  • What the Headlines Are Getting Wrong About Home Building in 2026
    Jan 16 2026

    Australia's home building "recovery" is dominating headlines — but does it actually stack up?

    In this episode, we unpack the latest building approvals data and explain why a single strong month does not signal a genuine turnaround in Australia's housing market. We explore the real gap between approvals, commencements and completions, why so many approved projects never get built, and how construction costs, labour shortages and government red tape are constraining housing supply in 2026.

    If you care about housing affordability, property markets, real estate trends or policy reform, this episode delivers clear, independent analysis without the media spin.

  • The Housing Market Myth the Media Pushes Every New Year
    Jan 13 2026

    Every January, the Australian media dusts off the same story. A single month of housing data is framed as a turning point for the property market and a warning sign for the year ahead.

    This episode unpacks why December housing figures are routinely misunderstood, how seasonal slowdowns skew the data, and why mainstream commentary often mistakes noise for insight. We examine what actually drives Australian house prices, from chronic housing undersupply and population growth to infrastructure investment, and why interest rate speculation is so often used as a lazy explanation.

    If you want a clearer, evidence based view of the Australian housing market in 2026 and beyond, and how to cut through misleading property headlines, this episode will give you the context the media leaves out.

  • The Property Hotspots Everyone Loves That We Said No To
    Dec 29 2025

    In this episode, we unpack the property markets that didn't make our National Top 10 Best Buys 2026 — and why those omissions are just as important as the locations we included.

    Markets like Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Darwin and parts of regional Queensland have delivered standout growth. But we explain why being hot today doesn't always translate to strong future returns, and how competitive conditions can make buying well far more difficult.

    You'll hear how we identify early-cycle markets, why we avoid locations that have already had their best run, and where we believe the next wave of growth across Australia is starting to emerge.

    If you want to invest ahead of the cycle rather than chase yesterday's winners, this episode will give you a clear edge.
