Podcast: Where prices are falling and where buyers can find opportunity

Property Podcast

Here is what Chris and I covered on the podcast this week:

"In this Australian Property Podcast episode, Pete Wargent and Chris Bates unpack what the post-Budget property reset is starting to look like on the ground, and where patient buyers may finally be getting some leverage again.
They break down quieter winter listings, soft auction clearance rates and the widening gap between A-grade properties and everything else. The big question is not just whether prices are falling, but where the pullback is creating genuine opportunity for upgraders, first-home buyers and investors willing to stay disciplined.
Pete and Chris also cover the pockets seeing the most change across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and the Gold Coast, plus why units, renovators and better-quality homes may behave very differently from compromised stock. They also explain why lower borrowing costs alone may not be enough, and why quality listings could become the real battleground as spring stock arrives.
To wrap up, they answer listener questions on new builds, older Melbourne units and the tax headlines worrying Australian expats. 
If you are trying to read a softer market without getting swept up in the panic, this episode offers a practical look at what may matter next. It is a useful episode for anyone planning a move before the market narrative shifts again."
