Is This the Beginning of the Great Investor Exodus from Victoria?

1 week ago | propertyupdate.com.au | Joseph Ballota

Key takeaways For the first time since the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority began tracking data (over 20 years ago), more rental bonds are being refunded than lodged. More properties are leaving the rental pool than entering it—signalling a contraction in rental supply. Most investor-owned properties sold are not bought by renters, but by owner-occupiers. This means those homes exit the rental market permanently.

Interest rates are falling again. After years of rate hikes, mortgage stress, and a cooling economy, the RBA has now dropped interest rates for the second time this cycle and there are more rate cuts to come.

Key takeaways Australia’s population has grown by 3.7 million over the last decade—but growth is heavily concentrated in just five cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. 80% of this growth occurred in those cities, reinforcing an urban coastal dominance. Meanwhile, inland towns are shrinking, losing both population and essential services. Australia is changing rapidly, not just in size, but in shape.

The One Policy Mistake That’s Fuelling Australia’s Housing Crisis

2 weeks ago | propertyupdate.com.au | Michael Yardney

Key takeaways Australia is growing fast — with net overseas migration at 446,000 in 2023–24, we’ve added nearly the population of Canberra in just one year. But housing supply isn’t keeping up. Approvals and commencements are at their lowest levels in over a decade, far below what’s needed to accommodate this growth. The result? Soaring rents, tight vacancy rates, and growing unaffordability — especially for first-home buyers and renters.

Australian Manufacturing Isn’t Dead-It’s Just Been Misunderstood

2 weeks ago | propertyupdate.com.au | Michael Yardney

Key takeaways The widespread belief that manufacturing has died in Australia is misleading. Yes, car brands like Holden, Ford, and Toyota left—but manufacturing itself didn’t disappear. Instead, it has adapted to global trends and shifted toward more specialised, high-value sectors. For a long time, the popular narrative has been that manufacturing in Australia is dead.

Key takeaways Warren Buffett’s long-term investing success is extraordinary—but his strategy was built in a very different time and market environment. Today’s investors face a very different landscape: faster information flow, different tax rules, and more market volatility. Blindly copying Buffett won’t work for most Aussies, especially property investors with different goals, timeframes, and risk profiles.
