Let The Data Speak

Four properties in Werribee. Same suburb, same market, same timeframe. One grew at over 7% per year. The others limped along at 2 to 3%. The difference had nothing to do with timing the market.

 

Junge Ma from InvestorKit breaks down three real underperforming properties and explains exactly why each one failed to match the suburb's growth. She also reveals exactly what the outperforming property got right.

 

This episode is a must watch for anyone who wants a practical framework for evaluating any property, not just any suburb.

Australia's 5% deposit scheme was supposed to make home ownership more accessible, and it did, to a point. But a bigger question has been lurking beneath the headlines: did expanding the scheme in October 2025 actually push property prices higher?

 

Junge Ma, Senior Research Analyst at InvestorKit, digs into the lending data and property market figures to find out what really happened.

 

Can we believe the media headlines that say the October 2025 expansion of the 5% deposit scheme triggered a widespread property boom, or do first-home buyers simply represent too small a fraction of the market to shift national property trends?

 

Watch the full episode and discover exactly which areas moved and which ones were unaffected.

Most investors look at past growth and draw one of two conclusions, the market's either had its run or it's overdue for one. But according to Junge Ma, senior research analyst at InvestorKit, both assumptions can lead you seriously astray.

 

In this episode, Junge Ma unpacks four distinct scenarios where past 10 year growth either signals caution or opportunity and why the same headline number can mean completely different things depending on the market's underlying fundamentals. From a coastal lifestyle region that ran hot during COVID and went flat, to Adelaide suburbs that kept growing despite seemingly being "overcooked", to Melbourne sitting quietly at the start of what could be a strong new cycle...the data tells a far more nuanced story than most investors realise.

 

If you're serious about picking locations with genuine growth potential, this episode is a must watch.

Junge Ma pulls back the curtain on a property she personally bought and the data that drove every step of the decision. From narrowing down Victorian regional cities to landing on Ballarat, this episode gives a rare inside look at how a property professional actually applies the same research framework she uses with clients to his own portfolio.

 

The episode walks through the full journey: why Ballarat stacked up on vacancy rates, inventory trends, and local economic fundamentals; the 1930s bungalow in Canadian she settled on for $500,000; and the cosmetic renovation completed in just one month managed entirely interstate through the right property management team.

 

If you've ever wondered what it actually looks like to buy with a data-led strategy, this episode is the clearest example yet.

Geelong is being touted as one of the hottest property markets near Melbourne...but the data tells a more nuanced story. Senior research analyst Junge Ma from Investor Kit breaks down exactly which suburbs have surged, which have stalled, and which are quietly staging a comeback that most investors haven't noticed yet.

 

Driven by double digit annual growth in multiple outer suburbs and a surprising 19% quarterly rebound in a premium market that had previously dipped, Junge unpacks what is really driving momentum across the city. It’s no longer just about affordability, and the data doesn't lie.

 

If you're considering Geelong as your next investment, this episode is essential viewing before you make a move.

Are Australia's regional property markets finally running out of steam, or is there still heat left in the oven?

 

With regional values having surged since 2021, it's tempting to write off the regions as overcooked. But Junge Ma, Senior Research Analyst at Investor Kit, breaks down 20 years of data to show that regional markets have largely been catching up to capital cities, not overheating. Across eight markets in WA, SA, Queensland, NSW, Victoria, and Tasmania, the data tells a far more nuanced story of accelerating price growth, pointing to continued momentum in many locations.

 

If you’re serious about spotting the next wave before it becomes obvious, this is where to start. Watch the full breakdown and see which regional markets still have room to run. Then decide whether you’re following the headlines or the data.

Is Adelaide's property boom really over, or are investors being spooked by headline noise? With some suburbs showing signs of fatigue, it's easy to assume the entire market has cooled but Junge Ma, senior research analyst at InvestorKit, argues the data tells a very different story.

 

In this episode, Junge Ma breaks down the fundamentals driving continued price growth across Greater Adelaide, from the overall market pressure data to a deep dive into specific SA3 regions. She covers both the higher priced inner ring areas quietly regaining momentum and the more affordable northern corridors.

 

If you're watching Adelaide and wondering whether you've missed the window, this episode will sharpen your thinking and help you understand why treating a market like Adelaide as one homogeneous blob might be costing you gains you could otherwise have captured.

Why is one Melbourne suburb consistently outperforming expectations, yet almost nobody is talking about it? Sitting quietly, but flying completely under the radar of most buyers and investors. Junge Ma, Senior Research Analyst at InvestorKit, digs into the data to find out whether that silence is a signal worth paying attention to.

 

Despite low buyer interest scores, high crime statistics, limited lifestyle amenity, and a 17% unemployment rate, this area's property data tells a surprisingly different story. House prices grew 12.1% in the past year, and over 20 years, long term capital growth has tracked above the broader SA3 average. The fundamentals, it turns out, don't care about reputation.

 

This episode is a masterclass in separating noise from signal. If you're serious about finding undervalued markets before the crowd arrives, watch the full breakdown and explore whether suburbs like this belong in your strategy.

Would you invest in a $150,000 property with nearly 9% rental yield, or is this exactly the kind of deal you should be avoiding?

 

In this episode, Junge Ma, Senior Research Analyst at InvestorKit, breaks down the data behind Broken Hill, one of Australia’s most affordable property markets. While the numbers may look attractive on the surface, she explains how a shrinking population, reliance on a single industry, and volatile vacancy rates create serious long-term risks for investors.

 

Before chasing high yields, understand the fundamentals that actually drive long term growth and stability. Watch the full episode to learn how to spot yield traps and avoid costly mistakes in your portfolio.
