Hey there!
Australia’s property market is racing into 2026 with values topping $12.3 trillion and homes selling in under a month.
Brisbane apartments are soaring, entry-level homes are outperforming, and new lending restrictions are changing the investor playbook.
Meanwhile, first-home buyers are pushed to the fringe, costs are surging, and smart negotiation is more important than ever.
