Winter Property Market Shock: Prices Fall Nationwide | Dr.Andrew Wilson
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
July has delivered the clearest evidence yet that Australia’s property market has changed direction, but the headline figures only tell part of the story. Capital city house prices fell by 1.5 per cent over the month, the sharpest national decline since August 2022, while Sydney recorded a particularly significant fall of 2.7 per cent. Melbourne house prices are now almost 6 per cent lower since the beginning of the year, and prices also declined across Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin during July. Yet look beneath those monthly figures and Australia still has...

Property Investors: The Inflation Number You're Told Is Lying to You | Ashley Owen
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
You’ve probably heard the media, politicians and economists talking about “the inflation rate” as though every Australian is experiencing the same increase in their cost of living. But the official CPI figure may bear little resemblance to what is happening in your household. Because here's the uncomfortable truth. That headline number is an average. It's a blend of everything from lettuce to laptops, and if your money goes on housing, health care, insurance and electricity rather than imported gadgets and clothing, your real cost of living has probably been running well...

The Property Investment Rule Stuart Wemyss Had to Rewrite
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Most investors think the goal is to eventually build a portfolio that throws off enough passive income to live on. It sounds sensible, doesn’t it? Buy assets, collect the rent or dividends, and one day replace your salary. But what if that idea is not only outdated, but mathematically inefficient? What if chasing income too early actually leaves you with less wealth, less flexibility, and more risk in retirement? Today I’m joined by Stuart Wemyss who back in 2018, published Investopoly, built around eight golden rules for building wealth. Since...

The Off-the-Plan Property Trap - Why the Finance Nightmare is Worse Than You Think | Dorian Traill
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Right now, thousands of Australian property investors are being drawn to off-the-plan properties like moths to a flame. And I understand why. After the 2026 Federal Budget changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, new properties are suddenly looking very attractive. The marketing is glossy, the tax benefits sound compelling, and the salespeople are convincing. But here's what those salespeople won't tell you. Signing that contract is the easy part. What happens over the next two years - and at settlement - can financially ruin you. Today, I'm chatting with Dorian...

25 Wealth Rules I Learned After 50 Years in Property (Most People Break Rule #6)
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Today, I want to share 25, let's call them commandments, for financial wealth and success. And to get the message across best to you, I decided to do something a little different. Normally, I have a guest, but this time it will be just you and me as I share these ideas with you. These aren’t property rules, and most of them aren’t even investment rules in the traditional sense. They’re the broader truths about money and behaviour I’ve collected over the years, the ones that apply whether you’re buying property, building a business, or simply trying to retire with...

Raising Rich Kids: The Secrets to Building Generational Wealth for Your Family | Sarah Megginson
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Most of us spend years trying to figure out money - what to do with it, how to invest it, how to make it work harder. But imagine if someone had taught you the fundamentals when you were a child. Because here's what I've seen over the years - the families who build lasting generational wealth don't just accumulate assets. They pass on the mindset, the habits, and the financial literacy that lets the next generation take it even further. So what if we could give our kids that advantage? What if we could raise children who grow up genuinely confident about money, investing,...

Why Australians Say They Want Affordable Housing, But Don’t Really Mean It | Simon Kuestenmacher
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Here's a question that makes almost every Australian a bit uncomfortable if they're honest with themselves. Do you actually want housing to become more affordable, or do you just want it to become more affordable for your kids while your own home keeps growing in value? That tension sits underneath almost every conversation about housing affordability in this country, and it's rarely spoken about directly. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why affordability isn't really one problem but several problems wearing the same name, why a property crash wouldn't...

Domain’s 2027 Property Forecast: Which Markets Set to Rise and Fall | Dr Nicola Powell
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
Australia’s property market has changed gears again. For the last few years, we’ve had a market driven by strong population growth, a chronic shortage of homes, tight rental markets and buyers who were desperate to get in before prices moved further away from them. But according to Domain’s latest FY2027 Forecast Report, we’re now entering a very different phase. Sydney and Melbourne house prices are forecast to fall over the next year, and Canberra is also expected to soften. At the same time, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth are still forecast to...

Property Prices Are FALLING — Is This The Crash That Some Predicted? | Dr.Andrew Wilson
Property Investment & Wealth Creation Australia | The Michael Yardney Podcast
House prices are falling across most of our capital cities right now, and the rate of decline is actually picking up speed. Now, I know what the headlines are going to say about that. They'll call it a crash, a correction, a crisis — and frankly, most of those headlines will be written to scare you, not inform you. So what's really going on? Is this the beginning of something serious, or is this just a market catching its breath after three extraordinary years of growth? Today, I cut through the noise as I am joined by Dr. Andrew Wilson Chief Economist at My...
info_outlineAustralia’s property market has changed gears again.
For the last few years, we’ve had a market driven by strong population growth, a chronic shortage of homes, tight rental markets and buyers who were desperate to get in before prices moved further away from them.
But according to Domain’s latest FY2027 Forecast Report, we’re now entering a very different phase.
Sydney and Melbourne house prices are forecast to fall over the next year, and Canberra is also expected to soften.
At the same time, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth are still forecast to grow, although at a much slower pace than we’ve seen over the last couple of years.
And interestingly, Domain expects units to outperform houses in many of our capital cities as affordability pressures reshape the way Australians buy property.
Now, I know some people will hear this and think, “Here we go again, the market is about to fall.” But that’s not the way I see it.
This is not one national property market moving in one direction. It is a collection of very different markets, at different stages of their cycles, being influenced by interest rates, borrowing capacity, supply shortages, buyer confidence and changing investor behaviour.
And for property investors, that distinction matters.
Because averages can be misleading. Headlines can be dangerous. And forecasts are useful only if you understand the assumptions behind them.
Today I chat with Dr Nicola Powell about Australia’s property market and the latest Domain forecast.
We unpack why the market is fragmenting across capital cities and what that means for buyers and investors.
We look at how interest rates, borrowing capacity, and rising supply are changing market conditions.
We discuss why houses and units are now moving in different directions, especially in Sydney and Melbourne.
We explore why long-term investors should focus on cycles, location, and strategy rather than short-term headlines.
Takeaways
• Australia’s property market is fragmenting, with each capital city following different conditions.
• Higher interest rates have reduced borrowing capacity and cooled buyer urgency.
• Sydney and Melbourne are more sensitive to rate changes because prices are already high.
• Rising supply is shifting negotiating power toward buyers in several markets.
• Price downturns are usually shorter and milder than the growth phases before them.
• Undersupply and construction costs continue to support medium-term property values.
• Units are expected to outperform houses as affordability pressures intensify.
• Well-located, owner-occupier-style apartments usually hold up better than investor stock.
• Brisbane’s rapid growth has pushed unit prices toward Sydney-level territory.
• Long-term success comes from patience, quality buying, and riding market cycles.
