Episode Details

Australia’s property market has turned, but how far could prices fall? 📉 

In one of our most anticipated episodes of the year, Bryce Holdaway is BACK on the couch with Ben for our 2026 Mid-Year Property Market Outlook! 

Together, they unpack what’s changed since February, where the data is pointing now and what could happen next. 

🏠 Which markets are holding up — and which are starting to crack? 
📉 Could some markets fall 10–15% — or even further? 
⚠️ Which regional areas face the greatest risk? 
👀 What could turn sentiment and the market around? 
💰 Could this correction actually create a rare buying opportunity? 

From falling buyer sentiment and slowing lending to rising listings, changing government policy and higher-for-longer interest rates, Ben and Bryce go around the grounds to reveal what’s really happening across Australia.
