They highlight a 10 per cent drop in approvals against five-year averages, noting that government targets to build 1.2 million homes are unlikely to be met due to labour shortages and high construction costs.

Despite three interest rate cuts this year, the hosts argue that easing monetary policy won’t solve fundamental supply constraints.

Property listings are also down 11 per cent, particularly during the typically busy spring period, driving stronger competition and higher prices.

The government’s new 5 per cent deposit scheme has boosted buyer interest, but the hosts warn that high loan-to-value borrowing in a rising market poses financial risks.

Akbarian shares how disciplined strategy and expert advice helped him grow from a beginner to a 14-property portfolio worth over $9 million, reinforcing the importance of aligning investment goals with professional guidance and a strong mindset.
