Higher inflation, a struggling construction sector, and falling listings are raising fresh questions about where the property market goes next.
On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman examine the latest inflation figures and what they could mean for interest rates, mortgages, and property prices.
The pair look at why several major banks are tipping higher rates, and whether another hike could put further pressure on households already dealing with rising living costs.
They also unpack the collapse of a major building company, with thousands of homes left in limbo, and what the fallout could mean for Australia's already stretched housing supply.
With new listings sitting below the five-year average, the conversation turns to affordability, construction costs, and whether weaker conditions could eventually create opportunities for buyers and investors.

Property investors may be facing tighter borrowing capacity and weaker sentiment, but the data suggests many are still looking for ways to get ahead.

On Property Investing Insights, Phil Tarrant sits down with Victor Kumar and Reshmi Kumar from Right Property Group to examine what investors are thinking, where they are looking, and how strategies are changing.
The trio explore the biggest barriers facing investors, with borrowing capacity emerging as a key challenge, while many remain intent on buying despite expectations of softer prices.
They discuss why slower markets could create opportunities to trade into stronger assets, identify motivated sellers, and negotiate better deals rather than simply waiting for conditions to improve.
The conversation also looks at growing interest in commercial property, portfolio planning, and the role of a clear long-term strategy when investing for financial freedom, retirement, and the next generation.

From a $215,000 house in Brisbane to a 24-property portfolio in just six years, this investor's rapid scale-up shows what's possible when strategy, timing, and professional expertise collide.
On this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Andrew Havig, director of Arvon Property Group, to unpack the growth journey behind one of the market's more remarkable portfolios – and the buyer's agency he's since built off the back of it.
Havig takes listeners back to his first purchase in late 2019 – a modest $215,000 house in Brisbane – through to 11 properties acquired in 2024 alone. He shares how a near miss with serviceability, after picking up two low-yielding lifestyle properties on the Gold Coast, taught him an early lesson in balancing cash flow against growth, one that continues to shape every deal he does today.
The conversation also digs into how Arvon secures the bulk of its deals off-market, and what "off-market" actually means for investors trying to access opportunities that never make it to platforms like realestate.com.au. Havig breaks down the relationship building and volume of outreach behind genuine off-market access, as distinct from the claims some buyer's agents make.
Looking at where the opportunities lie right now, Havig points to two standout plays: the Melbourne apartment market, trading around 6 per cent gross yields well below replacement cost, and commercial property, where he's seeing strong demand across retail, industrial, medical, and childcare assets.

Building a property portfolio is about more than finding the next hotspot, with asset selection, market cycles, and hard-earned lessons all shaping what comes next.
The inaugural episode of Built for Scale sees Liam Garman and Josh Crealy from LEVR Group discuss what it takes to build a property portfolio and a sustainable career in real estate.
Crealy shares the investment mistakes that cost him dearly, including losses from chasing initial public offerings (IPO) and start-ups, and how those experiences changed his approach to building wealth.
The pair explore asset selection, market cycles, and portfolio strategy, including why investors need to understand what they are buying rather than simply chasing the latest hotspot or market hype.
The duo also discuss what separates sustainable property businesses from those built around marketing, and why genuine expertise, referrals, and repeat clients can matter more than noise in a tougher market.

The SMSF lending ban has closed a major door for property investors, but it could also create new opportunities as lending, prices, and investor sentiment adjust.
On The Property Nerds podcast, Arjun Paliwal and Jack Fouracre examine what the end of residential SMSF lending means for investors and the wider property market.
The pair look at what could happen to existing SMSF borrowers, from lender competition and refinancing to the possibility of higher borrowing costs as the market adjusts.
They also examine the potential fallout for property transactions, developers, and new housing supply, particularly where SMSF buyers have played a role in funding projects and pre-sales.
With sentiment already weighing on the market, the conversation considers whether weaker conditions could ultimately create opportunities for investors, particularly if interest rates, borrowing capacity, and rental yields move in their favour.
