Hit play. This one might just change the way you see the next 6 months.

There’s talk of four interest rate cuts on the table (possibly six), and if that plays out, property prices could seriously take off. We’re talking bigger borrowing power, market momentum, and real windows to move if you know where to look.

In this one, we break down what it all means, from Trump’s tariff chaos and global uncertainty to how Chinese imports and falling inflation could flip the Aussie market on its head. Plus, we share the exact play we’re running in Geelong right now for strong yields and serious upside.
