Every year since 2022, InvestorKit has consistently produced the Australia's Housing Fundamentals White Paper, tracking fundamentals across three core categories: demand, supply, and confidence. Now in its 5th edition, we can finally look back and ask: what's actually changed over five years, and what's stayed exactly the same?

Junge Ma, Senior Research Analyst at InvestorKit, breaks down the five year fundamentals matrix and explains why 2026 shows the highest number of "weak" fundamentals of any year so far, yet Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, and regional markets like Bunbury, Townsville, and the Gold Coast have still delivered booming growth.

If you've ever felt confused by "the market is weak" headlines while watching certain suburbs keep climbing, this episode is where that confusion finally makes sense.
