Perth Property Insider Podcast

Your own brain can cost you more than a bad suburb ever will.

In 18 years of property investing, I’ve watched smart investors lose money on decisions that felt rational at the time. They buy because everyone else is making money. They hold a property because they’ve owned it for a decade. They wait for a peak price that’s gone. Or they research for six more months because doing nothing feels safe.

In this episode of Perth Property Insider, I’m revealing the seven mental traps that cost property investors money. 

For each one, I show you how to spot it in yourself, along with a single question that pulls you back into clear thinking. 

I’m also sharing a simple decision checklist to run before you buy, hold, improve, or sell your next investment property.

If you own investment property in Perth, or you’re planning your next purchase, discover which trap could be steering your next property decision.

Tune in to discover:

✅ One question that shows whether FOMO is making your buying decision for you

✅ How a single number from the peak market can block your next move

✅ The question to ask about any property you’ve owned for years 

✅ How to use AI to challenge your property decisions… instead of just agreeing with you

✅ The exact point where more research stops helping and starts costing you money

✅ The five-year test that shows whether your success came from skill or just a rising market

✅ A simple decision checklist to run before you buy, hold, improve, or sell 

Key Points

00:00:00 Intro and the FOMO trap
00:03:33 Anchoring and sunk costs
00:08:21 Recency and confirmation bias
00:12:57 Analysis paralysis
00:16:02 The overconfidence trap
00:19:24 Your decision checklist

Since the federal budget quarantined negative gearing, Australian property investors buying established homes face a much bigger cashflow gap. 

You still get the tax benefit, but you just wait 10 to 15 years to use it (and that wait is painful for investors).

In this episode of Perth Property Insider, I sit down with financial planner Stuart Wemyss, host of Investopoly, to discuss a strategy he wrote about:

Borrowing part of the shortfall in the early years, then repaying it once the property turns cashflow positive. 

Stuart modelled it over 30 years and I think you’ll be surprised at what it could do to your after-tax returns.

Of course it’s not a magic bullet, but it’s definitely something savvy investors needs to be aware of.

Stuart also exposes a common rental yields trap and why "a bad yes costs more than a bad no." 

If you're working out your next move after the 2026 budget changes, hit play now and learn how to keep building wealth without compromising on asset quality.

Tune in to discover:

✅ The real effect of quarantined negative gearing on cashflow (and the impact on your next purchase)
✅ A simple borrowing strategy that can ease the cashflow gap in the early years
✅ How much the budget changes cut after-tax property returns… and how to claw some back
✅ Why investors who bought before budget night may hold a big planning advantage
✅ The odds Stuart gives negative gearing of making a comeback (see if you agree!)
✅ How the timing of your purchase within a growth cycle can influence your long-term capital growth
✅ The one thing to obsess over once you own a property - PLUS what to stop worrying about

Key Points

00:00:00 Intro
00:03:00 Cashflow is the real hurdle
00:06:30 Value of pre-budget properties
00:10:23 Borrowing the tax gap
00:14:18 Will negative gearing return
00:17:49 The high yield trap
00:20:51 Comparing the real returns
00:27:38 Timing the growth cycle
00:30:42 Obsess over income and expenses
00:34:00 Don't set your budget too low

In this episode of Perth Property Insider, I take you inside a fishing trip that doesn't go to plan, and show you the lessons it made me realise for your property decisions. 

It’s no secret that the Perth property market has changed. Earlier this year, I set a record price almost every time I sold a property. Now homes sit on the market for longer, and sellers have to adjust their expectations. 

So how do you sell well, buy well, and keep building wealth when conditions turn? My answers come from a rough day on the water, a mate who out-fishes me, and a big fish that gets away about 10 metres from the boat.

I also cover why you need a strategic portfolio plan before you buy your next investment property, and why buyers now have more choice and more room to negotiate. 

I explain how the federal budget changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax may shape your next purchase. 

And you’ll also hear how to keep an interested buyer moving without pushing them away.

In this episode, you'll learn:

✅ The question to answer before you buy your next investment property
✅ Why the sale process that set record prices in Perth six months ago now has a very different job
✅ What feels uncomfortable for sellers right now, and how buyers can use it to their advantage
✅ How to keep an interested buyer moving toward an offer without heavy pressure
✅ What losing a fish 10 metres from the boat reminded me about a big negotiation mistake sellers make
✅ Why federal budget changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax affect future decision making

Key Moments:

00:00:00 Intro
00:04:50 Good Conditions Never Last
00:08:55 Adapt Or Get Out-Fished
00:13:20 Keep The Tension On
00:17:52 Remember Your Real Why
00:20:55 Selling To Upgrade Home

Your properties can all be winners and your portfolio can still lose.

In this episode of Perth Property Insider I’m sharing a problem I see in almost every portfolio review. 

Investors in their 40s and 50s hold three or four solid investment properties, each in a decent suburb with good rent and growth. Yet the portfolio bleeds cash flow, leans on one market and carries debt that no longer fits their stage of life. Plus they have no clear path to turn equity into retirement income. 

You’ll hear about the five ways good properties form the wrong portfolio, the three stages every property portfolio moves through, and how to tell which one you're in. 

I break down a composite example of a Perth couple in their mid 40s with a family home and three investments - and show what changes when you view their portfolio as a system. 

If you want your property investing to fund the life you're building, not just build a number, listen now. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

✅ Why three or four individually good properties can still add up to the wrong portfolio
✅ The five ways good properties compound the same weakness
✅ How to tell which of the three portfolio stages you're in right now
✅ Why I’m not buying anything at the moment, and what I do with my surplus cash instead
✅ The review questions I use with clients to work out whether each property still has a job to do 

Key moments:

00:00:00 Intro
00:03:00 Peak to June price drop
00:06:03 Top house suburb performers
00:09:40 Where houses went flat
00:12:40 Fringe suburbs lead units
00:16:20 The lag hiding the correction
00:19:40 Why cheaper holds up
00:23:20 Perth is a market of markets

Perth's median house price cracked $1 million in the March 2026 quarter. By June it slipped back to $977,000. 

That's a fall of about 2.3% from the peak, yet still around 4% above December. 

So is this a Perth property correction or not? In this episode I walk through what the data actually shows, suburb by suburb, and where the real cracks are forming.

You’ll hear the strongest house suburbs for the quarter and the pattern that links most of them. 

I look at why suburbs above $1.6 million grew slower than the middle of the market, and why buyer depth matters more as borrowing capacity tightens. 

Then I dig into units, where the spread is far wider. 

If you own, buy or invest in Perth real estate, this episode gives you the full picture.

In this episode, you'll learn:

✅ Why Perth's median house price hit $1 million in March and gave part of it back by June
✅ The Perthsuburbs that still grew 7% to 10% in a single quarter as the wider market cooled
✅ Why suburbs with medians above $1.6 million grew slower than the middle of the market
✅ The unit suburbs that surged more than 12% in one quarter, and the one that fell 6.2%
✅ The six to eight week lag built into settled sales data
✅ Four questions every Perth property owner should ask before assuming the last 12 months of growth means nothing’s changed.

Key moments:

00:00:00 Intro
00:03:00 Peak to June price drop
00:06:03 Top house suburb performers
00:09:40 Where houses went flat
00:12:40 Fringe suburbs lead units
00:16:20 The lag hiding the correction
00:19:40 Why cheaper holds up
00:23:20 Perth is a market of markets

Could this be the best time in six years to buy property in Perth?

The Perth property market has shifted. Buyers now have more choice, properties are taking longer to sell, and there’s more room to negotiate. But that doesn’t mean you should rush out and buy just because market conditions have changed.

In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Jarrad is joined by buyer’s agent Justine to break down what’s really happening in the Perth property market.

Along with why the current conditions could create one of the strongest buying opportunities we’ve seen in years.

In this episode, we cover:

✅Why Perth is becoming a more balanced property market
✅Why buyers currently have more choice and negotiating power
✅How buying conditions compare with six to twelve months ago
✅How to negotiate property without simply making lowball offers
✅How to assess the true market value of a property
✅Why seller motivation, competition, and time on market matter
✅How subject-to-sale offers are becoming more realistic again
✅Why a softer Perth market can create opportunities for home upgraders
✅Why a better buying opportunity does NOT mean you should simply buy anything

Key moments:

00:00:00 Intro
00:03:51 The buyer battle days
00:08:05 Why buyers are winning now
00:11:23 Changeover math 
00:15:40 The overpaying trap
00:18:44 Your home as asset
00:23:20 Negative gearing changes
00:29:00 Should you wait longer

Spring is usually the busiest season of the year for home sales. But spring alone won't sell your home this year. 

The Perth property market has changed and most sellers are still using the playbook from six months ago.

Perth listings have jumped from about 6,200 to 7,200 in five weeks.Sales now take 21 days on average. 
And buyers have choice again. 

And when they have choice, a badly timed or badly presented home loses momentum fast - which means the market punishes it on price.

In this episode, I take you inside the first three parts of my six-point strategic sale process. It's the process I use with Perth homeowners and investors to create buyer competition and get the best price possible. 

You’ll hear why the right time to sell depends on your life first and the market second - and why presentation and marketing matter more with every new listing.

Tune in to hear about:

✅Why spring is no longer a free pass for Perth sellers
✅The month I'd rather list in, and why it's not the one most people pick
✅What 1,000 extra Perth listings means for your negotiating power
✅The one question to ask before you decide to sell at all
✅The tenancy timing rule Perth investors can't ignore right now
✅When a tenanted sale works, and when vacant possession is worth the cost
✅Why a buyer database beats a postcode in a cooling market
✅How stacking small wins creates the competition that drives price
✅Why the best move is sometimes not selling at all

Key moments:

00:00:00 Intro
00:03:10 Upgrade, downsize, or release equity
00:06:00 Tenants and vacant possession
00:10:15 September vs November
00:13:20 Emotive presentation explained
00:17:20 The return of staging
00:20:10 Trifecta of marketing
00:24:45 Social ads and database
00:28:15 Stacking small decisions

Want to raise kids who feel confident with money, save with purpose, and make smart choices on their own?

In this episode of Perth Property Insider, Sarah Megginson from Finder joins us to share how parents can teach kids about money, saving, and investing from an early age.

Sarah wrote How to Raise Rich Kids. In this episode you’ll learn all about giving your kids the skills and mindset to build security, freedom, and choice (even if you’re not wealthy yourself).

The truth is, your kids are forming money beliefs right now, from watching you. 

Which means that whatever you haven't sorted out from your own childhood gets passed down to them. 

The good news is small changes can have a big impact. Sarah shares the exact systems she uses with her own kids - and they're simpler than you might think.

In this episode, you'll discover:

✅The age kids start forming money beliefs (it's earlier than most parents think)
✅The signed contract that turned a laptop into a two-year money lesson 
✅How to teach kids the difference between wants and needs 
✅Why Sarah pays pocket money in cash, never into a bank account
✅The simple system that gets kids helping without nagging… PLUS how to fix whinging
✅The one weekly habit her family cut to fund a Disneyland trip 
✅A grocery shopping skill her kids mastered that most adults don't learn until their twenties
✅How to introduce kids to property investing, tenants, and rent without overwhelming them

Key moments:

00:00:00 Intro
00:04:35 When money beliefs form
00:09:45 Values-based spending decisions
00:13:23 Work hard, not enslaved

Owning a property for a long time doesn't make it the right property. Neither does the fact that it's gone up in value (because nearly all Perth property has). 

For years the market ran hot, and a rising tide made average decisions look like smart ones. Now it's cooling, buyers have choice again. 

And the difference between a strong asset and a lazy one is finally starting to show.

In this episode of Perth Property Insider, host Jarrad Mahon shares one deceptively simple question that brings instant clarity to every property you own. 

From there, he unpacks what your properties should actually be doing for you, and how so many quietly drift off course without anyone noticing.

Inside the episode, you'll discover:

✅The single question that tells you whether to hold, improve, or let go
✅Why a property that's doubled in value can still be the wrong one for you
✅Three warning signs a property needs a proper review, hiding in plain sight
✅What your equity may be doing wrong while it just sits there
✅The four honest outcomes of a review, and how to choose one without fear

If you own even one investment property, this conversation could change how you look at your whole portfolio.

Key moments:

00:00:00 Intro
00:03:40 Every property's job
00:07:12 Three warning signs
00:10:24 What a review answers
00:13:28 Improve the property
00:16:32 Selling can be smart
00:19:36 Two question exercise
