Inside the investor’s mindset: Navigating today’s property market
In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant sits down with Theo Chambers, CEO of Shore Financial, to break down the forces shaping investor sentiment in 2025.
From rate pause surprises to a dwindling investor pool, Phil shares his reflections on a market that’s increasingly hard to read, before unpacking the state of advice in the property space, warning of the rise of unqualified buyer’s agents steering investors into risky territory.
The pair discuss why investor confidence is slipping, the risks of poor advice, and how policy settings, particularly in Victoria, are driving investors away from traditional hotspots.
Phil also opens up about his own strategy: why diversification, timing, and market cycles matter more than ever, and how commercial property is reshaping what “smart investing” really looks like in 2025.
