Cairns grew 17% last year. Hobart grew 5%. On paper, the choice looks obvious. But choosing purely based on recent growth could mean buying into a market with less growth left ahead, while overlooking one with a full cycle of recovery still in front of it. In this episode, Junge…

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?

A policy framed as first home buyer support should, in theory, produce more first home buyers in the market. The data tells a different story.

An investor owns a townhouse in Altona North, Melbourne, surrounded by what looks like empty land. They're worried future oversupply could kill the property's growth, and they're weighing whether to sell before it happens. Is that concern actually justified?

A $5 million commercial property doesn't attract land tax on $5 million. It attracts land tax on whatever the underlying land is worth once the building, fit-out and improvements are stripped away, and that gap can run into the millions.

For years, Sudesh owned exactly two investment properties. Both were in Melbourne, both were land he could drive past on a weekend, and both fit comfortably within what felt safe and familiar. Then, in the space of two years, that same portfolio grew from two properties to six, spanning four states and approaching $6 million in value.

A policy change described as affecting less than 1% of residential lending sounds like something most property investors could safely ignore. But that figure only tells part of the story.

Tamworth has quietly become one of Australia's best performing regional markets, posting 19% growth in the past 12 months alone. But population growth is slowing, vacancy rates are edging higher, and affordability is deteriorating. So what's actually driving the growth, and does it have room left to run?
