41: Reading the Cycle – Australia's Property Market Outlook
Episode Summary
Richard is joined by Sherman Chan, Chief Economist at the Australian Property Institute (API). Sherman highlights the latest findings from the Australian Property Outlook report and what this means for property markets across Australia.
This conversation explores why the report was developed, the methodology underpinning it, and how the outlook differs across states and asset classes. Sherman breaks down all these key findings for residential, industrial, office, retail and agricultural property, unpacking where sentiment remains resilient and where caution is emerging.
They also discuss the broader economic factors, including interest rate trends, construction cost pressure, as well as labour constraints, and how these forces are shaping future investment and development decisions. The episode concludes with Sherman’s outlook for 2026, emphasising the importance of monitoring sentiment, adjusting expectations as these conditions evolve, and understanding where exactly Australia sits in the current property cycle.
This episode provides a data-driven perspective on Australia’s property markets and the forces shaping the year ahead.
