Spring is here, and so is the heat in Australia’s property market. In this month’s episode, we are joined by Cate Bakos and Cameron Kusher to unpack the impact of the new First Home Buyer Scheme, the surge in investor activity, and the market movements across every capital city — from Darwin’s double-digit growth to Melbourne’s quiet comeback.

Plus, Aussie Home Loans joins the conversation for the first time, with mortgage broker Anya sharing what’s really happening with borrower behaviour, refinancing, and lending policies on the ground.

Will the mix of incentives, sentiment, and stability push prices higher as we head into summer? Tune in for the data, the debate, and the insights you need to stay ahead of the market.

🎧 Presented by REIP and Aussie Home Loans.
