Is the Australian property slump finally nearing its end? In this episode, we dive into brand-new research from the Australian Property Institute’s (API) Q4 2026 Market Outlook, surveying nearly 400 property professionals across the nation. For the first time, valuers in all six states have aligned on the exact same recovery window: Q3 2027 (July–September).

Joined by API Chief Economist Dr. Sherman Chan, we unpack why the market is waiting on policy certainty around upcoming federal negative gearing and tax reforms, how much further home values could dip before hitting rock bottom (up to 11% in major states), and why interest rate anxiety remains the biggest wildcard holding back buyers. Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or simply understand where house prices are heading, this episode gives you a clear, expert roadmap for the next 12 months.
