In this episode, Stuart revisits a call he made nearly five years ago—that investment-grade apartments in Melbourne were due for a growth cycle. After a long period of underperformance, the signs are finally pointing to a market turning point.

He outlines the key forces driving a potential resurgence:

• New apartment supply is not keeping up with population growth
• Construction costs are up 30%, raising replacement costs and limiting new stock
• Expanded government incentives like the First Home Guarantee will supercharge demand
• Falling interest rates and relaxed HELP debt rules are boosting borrowing capacity
• Melbourne’s apartment prices look historically cheap compared to both houses and other capital cities

Stuart also draws a comparison to Brisbane, where apartment prices surged nearly 60% after a 13-year flat spell. Could Melbourne be next? A recent sale in Hawthorn may already be hinting at a shift.

If you've been holding an investment-grade apartment or are considering entering the market, this episode is packed with data, strategy, and timing insights. Tune in to understand why the next growth phase could be closer than you think.
