Episode Details

Is the Australian property boom officially over, or is this the ultimate buying opportunity for long-term investors?

Welcome back to Pumped on Property.

In this August 2026 Australian Property Market Update, Ben and Simon share a critical breakdown of what is happening across the country right now.

We are currently seeing the largest national property price correction since late 2022, with dwelling values sliding 0.7% over the last month alone.

This downturn is no longer just a Sydney and Melbourne story - the weakness has officially spread into previously resilient markets like Brisbane (-0.6%) and Adelaide (-0.2%).

In this video, Ben and Simon break down the data behind the headlines, covering the impact of the three RBA interest rate hikes this year, the ongoing fallout from the federal budget's investor tax rule changes, and why rental markets remain historically tight despite falling asset prices.

Whether you want to buy your next investment property or build your wealth through high-quality real estate, this video will give you the clarity you need to move forward safely.
