Welcome to Pathway to Property, a podcast to help everyday Australians on their property investment journey through education, real-life stories, and firsthand investing experiences.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, co-hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer explore the latest in the Australian property market, including rate cuts, house and unit prices, rentvesting strategy, and the best hotspots in the country. The duo discusses the significant shifts in the property market as the rate cuts spur increased buyer interest and demand. The recent federal election has boosted confidence among buyers, adding heat to an already competitive market, with the upcoming 5 per cent deposit scheme for first home buyers raising further concerns about its potential to push prices higher. Property prices continue to climb, with the median dwelling price reaching $809,000 in May, driven by strong growth in Melbourne and Perth. The trend of rentvesting is rising, with more buyers opting to rent in premium areas while investing elsewhere. Research shows that over 50 per cent of suburbs in Australia have lower mortgage repayments than rent in some areas, notably in Darwin. The duo concludes with SPI’s Fast 50 report, highlighting 50 suburbs set for growth, offering investors valuable insights and the best hotspots nationwide.
