In today’s episode, I’m breaking it all down for everyday investors and families: What could drive an iron ore slowdown, how it impacts the WA economy, and how those changes flow through to jobs and the property markets in the next one to two years and even up to 10 years.

This isn't about doom and gloom or a crash, but rather exploring what could happen if there’s a genuine slowdown in the price, demand, or production of iron ore. Even small changes can drastically affect WA’s state revenue, as iron ore is our number one export. That can, in turn, impact jobs, population growth, business confidence, and, yes, property markets, both in Perth and in mining towns.

Let's go inside.

Today, I discuss the major infill developments planned for Subiaco, Bentley, and Beaconsfield.

Perth’s Next Decade of Housing: Future Infill Opportunities & Impacts

I’ve been wondering what is being done to increase the land supply and help to make housing more affordable in Perth, while at the same time pondering how it will affect established suburbs and prices.

Today, I cover what’s coming for Perth’s housing market and why more supply won’t kill quality property. Even with major land releases, well-located homes with land, lifestyle, and amenities will always win. The real risk is owning stock with no edge when new estates arrive.

I look at what is coming North, South and South East of Perth and the likely timeframes and impacts. 

Let’s go inside.

Perth’s Next Decade of Housing: Future Land Releases Shaping the City

This episode kicks off the year with a reality check on Perth property, what truly happened in 2025, and what smart investors should be watching closely in 2026.

I unpack why the market behaved the way it did, not just the headlines. Prices rose, rents stayed tight, incentives ramped up, and interest rates finally shifted direction, triggering one of the biggest psychological changes we’ve seen in years. How first home buyer policies pulled demand forward, why units outperformed houses, and what the latest data really means for investors, homeowners, and first home buyers.

From market fundamentals to supply constraints, yields, vacancy rates, land availability, APRA lending caps, interest rate risks, and three possible scenarios for 2026. I walk through what matters, what doesn’t, and where strategy becomes your edge. If you want to invest smarter in Perth property, this is the episode to catch up on.
