In this episode of Behind the Numbers, we explore the latest shifts in the Australian property landscape with two industry experts: economist Cameron Kusher, now part of the REIP Commentary Team, and award-winning buyer’s agent Cate Bakos.

Cameron shares a national overview of market movements — from tightening listing volumes and interest rate impacts to rising investor activity, rental pressures, and growth on the city fringes. Cate brings sharp, real-world insights into buyer behaviour, the return of investor confidence, and her advice for first home buyers and auction-goers navigating today’s competitive environment.

A timely, practical conversation grounded in data and experience.
