Is Perth better than Melbourne for property investing in 2026?
This episode dives deep into one of the biggest debates Australian property investors are facing right now.

Redom and Adi go head-to-head, with Redom backing Perth and Adi defending Melbourne, breaking down:
📌  Economic diversification vs concentration risk
📌  Boom-and-bust cycles vs long-term stability
📌  Yield vs capital growth
📌  Supply & demand pressures heading into 2026
📌  Government spending, population growth and migration trends

Rather than giving a simple answer, this episode helps you understand which city suits YOUR investing strategy, where you are in your journey and how timing changes everything.

Whether you’re chasing:
📌  Strong yields and tight vacancy rates
📌  Counter-cyclical growth opportunities
📌  Or long-term portfolio resilience

This debate will give you the frameworks and context to make smarter property decisions.
