The Big Property Q&A: Market Risks, Buyers Agents & 2025 Hotspots

It's been just over 6 months since the launch of this podcast and over that time there has been a flood of questions from you guys. In this episode, Lachlan and Reece sit down to tackle the biggest and most debated property questions you’ve sent in over the past six months.

We dive into:

• Is the 5% deposit scheme actually a good idea, or is it setting buyers up for risk?
• Should you park cash in an offset account or use it to invest?
• Is the Australian property market heading for a crash?
• Which city will perform better in 2025: Perth or Melbourne? And much more

Whether you're a first-time investor, building a portfolio, or just trying to navigate conflicting headlines, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a grounded understanding of what’s really happening in the market.

We encourage you to keep sending through these comments, so we can answer them in our coming episodes.
