Strategy

Pick the market before the property.

Where you buy shapes growth, rent and resale more than any single listing. Our research team compares markets on supply, demand, affordability, jobs and rents, and our clients have bought in 420+ suburbs, under 3% of Australia's.

Strategy

Market research answers where. The Blueprint answers what and when.

Use market research when you know what you want to buy and need to know where. If you need the whole plan, start with a Portfolio Wealth Blueprint, built on the same research.

How we pick markets

The signals we read before a market makes the list.

Our research team publishes the same signals it uses. Each one has its own white paper, so you can see the method before you trust the answer.

  1. 01

    Market pressure

    Supply, demand, affordability and speed of sale, in the sales market and the rental market.

  2. 02

    Supply

    Where new housing is falling short of the people who need it: months of stock, future construction and population growth.

    Relative affordability

    Which cities and regions look stretched, and which still have room to move.

    Local economies

    Local jobs, not the national economy: the cities and regions where jobs and local economies are performing best.

    Rents

    Vacancy, yield and holding costs, and the regions showing clear signs that rents will keep rising.

How we read them

Short-term over long-term
Three-month rolling trends laid over 12-month trends show a market turning earlier. Days on market is read as a trend, not a single number.
Our own models
A sentiment index, a supply shortage score and market scoring rank markets before anyone looks at a listing.
Checked on the ground
Inspectors on the ground confirm what the data says before we buy in a market.
Markets within markets
A national headline is not your suburb. Each suburb is read on its own numbers.
Honest about risk
A volatile market is flagged as suited only to diversified portfolios with the appetite for it, and we stop buying where the risk outweighs the return.

The platform behind it

All of it runs in EDGE.

EDGE is our in-house research and acquisition platform. It brings together data from PropTrack, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Domain and Cordell, among others, to show which markets are positioned to move, then keeps tracking how a client's portfolio performs after purchase.

What you get

Where to buy, and what to look for there.

We start with your goal and budget, then compare markets to find the ones that fit. You see where the numbers line up, and where they don't, before you start looking.

Then you do the buying. If you want help later, our buyer's agency can find and buy the property, or acquisition support can check and negotiate one you have found.

  1. Markets that fit your goal

    Which markets suit what the property needs to do for you, growth, cash flow or both, within your budget.

  2. Suburbs within those markets

    Where in those markets the numbers line up, so your search starts in the right places.

  3. What to look for there

    The kind of property that suits the market, and the local traps to avoid, such as main roads, train lines and look-alike oversupply.

How it works

Three steps to where to buy.

You bring the goal and the budget. We bring the research.
