Property Buzz: The market is changing – are investors ready?

25 JUL 2026 By Robyn Tongol 2 min read Investor Strategy

Australia’s property market is entering another period of uncertainty, with the SMSF borrowing deadline, interest rate speculation, and shifting buyer demand all set to test the market in the months ahead.

On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman discuss the SMSF buying rush ahead of the 10 August deadline, what the market could look like once that demand fades, and where opportunities may emerge for prepared buyers.

The pair also examine how tighter borrowing conditions are pushing investors towards higher-yielding properties, and why chasing cash flow alone could come at the expense of long-term performance.

 
 

They also turn their attention to the latest trust account theft case, questioning why fraud continues to plague the industry and whether technology can finally remove one of real estate’s biggest ongoing risks.
