Hotspotting

2026 is set to shake up the Australian property market, and the winners might surprise you. While the usual capitals have led growth in recent years, this year it's the small cities and overlooked regional markets stepping into the spotlight.

Join us as we explore why Darwin, Hobart and Canberra are on the rise, and uncover the hidden hotspots across Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales that investors are starting to notice.

If you want to stay ahead of the market and spot the property growth leaders before everyone else, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, we unpack the property markets that didn't make our National Top 10 Best Buys 2026 — and why those omissions are just as important as the locations we included.

Markets like Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Darwin and parts of regional Queensland have delivered standout growth. But we explain why being hot today doesn't always translate to strong future returns, and how competitive conditions can make buying well far more difficult.

You'll hear how we identify early-cycle markets, why we avoid locations that have already had their best run, and where we believe the next wave of growth across Australia is starting to emerge.

If you want to invest ahead of the cycle rather than chase yesterday's winners, this episode will give you a clear edge.

Social media is packed with self-proclaimed property gurus promising the "secret" suburbs set to boom in 2026. But how much of it can you actually trust?

If you want to avoid costly mistakes and understand what really drives property growth, this is the guide you need. Tune in and learn why there are no shortcuts, no secrets, just proven strategies backed by real experience.

Australia's housing crisis is at record highs, but why aren't things improving? In this episode, we break down how government policies, constant law changes, and supply shortages are driving up house prices and rents.

We explore why state and federal actions often make the problem worse, who really bears the cost, and what could actually help fix the affordability crisis.

Tune in to get a clear, no-nonsense explanation of why homes are so expensive and what it means for renters, buyers, and investors across Australia.

Australia's property markets are moving like never before. From Darwin to Melbourne, buyer demand and prices are rising across almost every major city and regional market.

In this episode, we unpack the latest Price Predictor Index, reveal which markets are leading the charge, and explore why affordable housing is driving nationwide momentum.

Whether you're a buyer, investor, or property enthusiast, these insights will help you understand the unusual trends shaping Australian real estate as we head into 2026.

Three years ago, the National Top 10 Best Buys report highlighted Australian property locations expected to outperform over the long term. Now, the data shows just how powerful those location calls turned out to be.

In this episode, we unpack how some investors achieved capital growth above $200,000 and in some cases close to $300,000 in just three years. You will hear why eight of the ten recommended locations delivered price growth of 50 percent or more, which suburbs surged by over 70 percent, and what separated the standout markets from the rest.

We also discuss what these results reveal about long term property strategy, why South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia led the way, and how the latest Best Buys report is being shaped by future growth fundamentals rather than short term noise.

If you are serious about Australian property investing, capital growth, and choosing the right locations for the next five to ten years, this episode delivers timely insights you do not want to miss.

Each year, this is our most anticipated session — and for good reason.

In this Annual Reflections & Projections Webinar, Hotspotting Founder Terry Ryder and Managing Director Tim Graham review how Australia's property market actually performed in 2025, then use those insights to map what's ahead for 2026 and beyond. This session cuts through the noise and headlines to focus on real data, real cycles, and real opportunities.

• What investors should realistically expect over the next property cycle Terry also explains Hotspotting's EMPIRICAL framework — the forward-looking methodology used to identify growth markets before they boom — and why chasing "hot" markets late in the cycle can increase risk.

🎯 Key themes discussed:

• Strong nationwide buyer demand and historically low supply

• Why vacancy rates remain a powerful lead indicator • Infrastructure spending as a long-term growth catalyst
