Description

Stock is tight — and prices are rising fast.

In this episode of The Weekly Investor News, Owen Davis and Nick Bendel unpack what’s really driving Australia’s property market right now, and why fewer homes for sale are pushing prices to new heights.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

📉 Why listings are now 25% below the five-year average

📈 How falling stock is directly linked to double-digit price growth in cities like Perth, Brisbane and Darwin

🏦 Why the RBA may feel forced to keep rates higher for longer

🏠 The unintended consequences of the federal government’s 5% deposit scheme for first home buyers

🐾 And what Tasmania’s new pet-friendly rental laws mean for landlords and property managers

With a national view across five states, Owen explains why demand is still running hot, why vendors are holding back, and what this all means for investors heading into 2026.

If you’re a property investor, landlord, or industry professional, this episode gives you clear, experienced insight into where the market is heading — and why.
