If buying a home feels harder (and way more confusing) than it did a year ago, no, you’re not imagining it. The rules have changed, the competition has changed, and suddenly everyone is talking about 5% deposits like they’re either your golden ticket or the end of the world. Lucky for us, mortgage queen Jaclyn Walsh is here to break down what’s actually going on in the property market heading into 2026. We unpack the headline changes everyone’s yelling about, what they mean in real life, and Jac’s inside scoop on how banks are really assessing and approving loans right now. Plus we answer the biggest property finance questions straight from our community. This episode is all about putting yourself in the strongest possible position to buy, without spiralling, second-guessing every move, or making rushed decisions you regret later.

In this ep: 
🏡 Why buying with five percent feels easier and more stressful at the same time
🏡 What banks have changed behind the scenes… and why it matters to you
🏡 The mistake first home buyers are making before they even start looking
🏡 How to buy without panic-bidding, overcommitting, or regretting it later
🏡 Why Victoria isn’t racing to pay off her mortgage (on purpose)
🏡 Hacks that shave years and thousands off your mortgage


For all your mortgage and refinancing needs, you can contact Zella here.

How to Buy Property in 2026: Everything You Need to Know Before Getting a Mortgage

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/ad889eb1-f1b0-46e5-82ab-b3d10070f425/transcript

If you’ve ever told yourself investing is something you’ll get to later, when you have more money, more brain space, or a slightly more put-together life… this episode is about to ruin all of those excuses in the best way. Today, the one and only Bec Syed has volunteered to jump into the Investing Diaries seat so we can get pervy on her first year as an investor (and yes, it’s exactly as Bec-coded as you’d expect). She walks us through how she went from not really understanding what investing even was, to building an almost $1,500 investment portfolio in the background of her very normal, but very chaotic life. (Yep, we're so proud of her too!) We get into what it actually looks like to invest when you don’t have heaps of spare cash, why round-ups and automation are a game changer, and how seeing tiny wins along the way completely changed how money feels. In her lovable Bec way she's honest about the confusion, the questionable decisions, the accidental wins, and the fact that she still very much learning as she goes. It’s proof that you don't have to have it all figured out when it comes to investing, you just need to start. And if Bec can do it… honestly, so can you.

If you’ve ever looked at your debts and thought… I know I need to deal with this, I just don’t know where to start, this episode is for you. This is the next step in our Summer Starter Series, where we’re going back to the foundations that help you get on top of your money, in a way that actually feels manageable. In episode one we got ontop of our 4 most important numbers to know... what you earn, spend, own and owe, and today we're making a plan for that last one. We talk through how to prioritise your debts when you have more than one, how to choose a repayment strategy that fits your personality, and how to get out of that frozen, head in the sand feeling that keeps so many people stuck for way longer than they need to be. Victoria breaks down why some debt feels heavier than others, why paying the “wrong” one first can kill your motivation, and how to build momentum with your repayments. If debt has been stressing you out, this episode will help you feel clearer, calmer, and ready to take your next step.
