Where to snap up a bargain in 2025? 5 emerging markets under $500k

Here are the best areas for investors looking to start or scale their property portfolio with a budget of up to $500,000. In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Kev Tran, director and principal buyer’s agent at Kev Tran Group, to unpack five emerging markets across the country where investors can still snap up a bargain.

Kev said that investors on a budget should stray away from capital cities that are often more expensive.

The duo focus on areas with strong economies, solid infrastructure and low unemployment while examining supply and demand, and discuss the ins and outs of each hotspot, including two in Queensland, two in Victoria and one in Western Australia.
