Why Now Is The Most Confusing Property Market Ever | EP 25

What’s really going on in Melbourne’s housing market?

In this episode, we unpack why 2025 has started with such mixed signals — and what it means if you’re buying in Melbourne. We explore the surprising price movements across different suburbs, the growing gap between Melbourne and other capitals like Perth and Adelaide, and the sharp increase in interstate buyer activity we're seeing on the ground.

You’ll learn:

• Why Melbourne’s housing market has underperformed since 2022
  
  
• Which suburbs are bouncing back first
  
  
• What the sudden interest from out-of-state investors means
  
  
• Whether now might be the right time to get pre-approved and be ready to buy

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines or feeling unsure about timing your move — this one’s for you.
