Welcome to Season 6, Episode 3 of the Expat Mortgage Podcast, where we discuss the latest issues of securing and maintaining an Australian mortgage whilst you are an Australian expat.

In this episode, we’re joined by James Anderson of Bluestone Property Corporation, a Melbourne-based buyer’s agent, for a deep dive on the Victorian market—why Melbourne is undervalued versus other capitals, where interstate money is flowing, and how to spot quality opportunities.

We cover regional hubs (Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo), major infrastructure drivers (Metro Tunnel, Suburban Rail Loop, West Gate Tunnel), the return of 5% deposit / no LMI support and what it means for prices, stamp duty considerations for first-home buyers, Bayside value pockets (including Frankston), risks in high-supply greenfield estates, and practical tactics on due diligence, negotiation, and getting pre-approval so you can move fast in a competitive spring market.
