Melbourne has been the underperformer for years, but history shows it doesn’t stay down forever. With migration back, credit easing, and sentiment improving, mean reversion could set Melbourne up for its next catch-up cycle. In this video I’ll walk you through the risks and the opportunities — so you can decide whether it’s time to get back in.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this video:
✅ Why Melbourne has lagged since 2017 — and how it compares to other capitals
✅ The early data signals showing momentum is shifting
✅ Suburbs and pockets of opportunity for long-term investors
✅ The upside, downside, and base case scenarios for 2026
✅ Who Melbourne property suits — and who should stay away
