The highest performing area in Melbourne and why you DON'T want to buy here now!      Is Melbourne's highest performing market actually the best place to buy right now, or not?   In this episode, Todd is joined by Steve Ash of Property Strats, and they break down the growing gap between reported data and what is happening on the ground. While the numbers suggest one story, recent sales and valuations reveal another, raising serious questions about timing, pricing, and whether buyers are already paying tomorrow's prices today.   The discussion explores why this market may still reward patient, long term holders but could hold back investors chasing faster growth and better cash flow. It also highlights why other Melbourne locations may offer stronger opportunities right now, especially for those looking to scale.   This is a must-watch that challenges the headlines and shows why strong performance doesn't always equal a smart entry point for investors.       🍕🏠 We want to hear your investor story!

 Buying $600k House in Victoria      Every month, we ask our audience to send in a suburb that they'd like analysed. InvestorKit's Senior Research Analyst, Junge Ma, will be going through the data to let them know whether it's a NO or a GO!   In this episode, they unpack listener Jack's question: a house for around $600k? They take a quick lap around Victoria's overall market health before zooming in on Reservoir the story gets more interesting. Population growth, demand, and construction trends all paint a picture of shifting pressure, but what does that mean for investors right now?   With prices, inventory, and yields each telling a slightly different story, Todd and Junge dive into whether Reservoir's still an opportunity worth chasing or one that's already had its run.   If you're eyeing Melbourne's north, this episode's packed with insights on where the value really sits, how to negotiate strongly at the $600k mark, and what's next for one of the city's most quietly gentrifying suburbs.       And of course, if you'd like a suburb analysed, click the link below and get in touch! 👉👉👉 https://pizzaandproperty.com.au/listeners-choice-area-analysis     🍕🏠 We want to hear your investor story!
