Rates are higher. Supply is tighter. So where does that leave buyers and investors in 2026? Pete and Chris leads this first timely property and break down rising rates, sticky inflation, the expanded 5% first-home buyer scheme, and the structural supply gap driving pressure across the market.
Together, they discuss:
Who is feeling the pressure right now — renters, first-home buyers, investors, developers.
What higher-for-longer means for borrowing power, buffers and timing decisions.
How to think clearly when credit conditions stay tight.
The 5% First-Home Buyer Scheme
Whether lower deposits improve affordability or increase leverage.
Can Australia can realistically build its way out?
Where disciplined buyers and resilient borrowers are still finding opportunity.
