Rate cuts ignite optimism: What it means for property investors now
In this recent episode of The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop explore the shifting landscape of Australian property investment, following a key interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank to 3.6 per cent.
This move has sparked optimism among investors, as lower borrowing costs improve loan affordability and refinancing options.
The duo stresses the importance of working closely with mortgage brokers to ensure rate cuts are passed on and fixed-rate transitions are managed effectively.
A major focus is the long-term value of capital growth over short-term yield, supported by data showing cities like Sydney and Melbourne outperforming others like Darwin over 25 years.
While high-yield properties offer immediate cash flow, capital growth is highlighted as the true driver of wealth in property.
The co-hosts also note that reduced property listings – down 6.8 per cent year-on-year – are pushing prices higher, adding urgency to informed investing.
Using a lighthearted champagne analogy, they liken quality investments to vintage wine – carefully selected and rewarding over time, urging investors to prioritise strategy and patience to maximise long-term returns.

Long-term thinking beats short-term property hype
In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop are joined by property expert Bryce Holdaway for a deep dive into Australia’s property investment landscape.
The conversation explores the evolution of the buyer’s agent industry, highlighting both its professional foundations and emerging risks, such as the rise of “finfluencers” promoting quick-win strategies.
Bryce, drawing on decades of experience, emphasises the importance of integrity, discipline, and long-term wealth creation over speculative gains.
He introduces his latest book, How to Retire on $3,000 a Week, which outlines a roadmap for building sustainable, income-generating portfolios over time.
Paul echoes the value of expert guidance, noting that successful investing depends on informed and realistic expectations, as well as a data-driven approach.
The trio then stress the role of a buyer’s agent as a trusted adviser, helping clients stay focused amid market noise.
They also address the challenge of managing client expectations, urging education and transparency about the realities of property investment, reinforcing that long-term strategy, expert support, and patience are essential to achieving financial independence through property.

Supply crunch, policy uncertainty – What’s happening in the property market?
In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop discuss the post-election results and how the pledge housing policies are criticised for ignoring the core crisis of chronic housing undersupply.
The duo discuss how critics have argued that the pledge proposals are short-term fixes that fail to resolve the core issue of housing undersupply, with measures such as stamp duty cuts and first-time buyer grants offering limited impact without addressing how to build homes more efficiently and affordably.
The co-hosts then analyse the current property market using CoreLogic’s latest data, which showed that the market is broadly recovering, with growth recorded in every capital city in April.
The FAST 50 report, set to launch soon, is expected to highlight top investment areas with strong growth potential through 2026.
However, challenges remain, such as record-low new listings, underscoring persistent supply constraints. Investor confidence is also being tested by potential new taxes on unrealised super fund gains.
While the overall market shows resilience, growth is slowing in leading cities like Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

How trade tensions and taxes are shaping the property market
In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop explore how broader economic forces, such as trade tensions and government taxes, impact the property market.
The duo starts the conversation by discussing how international trade tensions, such as US tariffs on Australian beef, might impact the broader economy and affect the property market, encouraging investors to concentrate on what they can control to prevent frustration.
The hosts then analyse new CoreLogic data indicating that residential property values have reached record highs, mainly fuelled by growth in affordable markets like Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.
Melbourne, once underperforming, is now showing signs of recovery, offering opportunities for strategic investors despite an increase in taxes and regulations.
The pair also discuss how future interest rate cuts and changes to lending serviceability could improve borrowing capacity and boost market activity.
Whether you are considering buying your first investment property or reaching property mogul status, Pure Property Investment’s Paul Glossop helps dissect the fundamentals through to large scale property development and everything in-between.
