KPMG’s 2026 property forecasts spark plenty of debate, and this episode breaks down what those calls might mean for Australian investors without backing any prediction. We explore why Melbourne is tipped for strong growth, how Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, Hobart, and Darwin rank, and why units may outpace houses across major capitals.
House projections sit at Melbourne 6.6%, Adelaide and Darwin 5.1%, Sydney 4.2%, while unit forecasts run higher, driven by affordability pressures, construction costs, and demand for well-located stock near jobs, transport, and rental hubs.
Rate expectations add another layer, with a possible 2.85% cash rate influencing serviceability and buyer behaviour. We dig into vacancy trends, rental momentum, micro-market pressure points, and what signals often matter more than headline averages.
These are questions worth asking and frameworks that help investors think smarter about 2026.
