Momentum returns to the Melbourne Property Market. How Politics and Rates are Influencing Demand.

With property affordability dominating headlines and the federal election fast approaching, Melbourne’s property market dynamics are shifting.

In the past fortnight alone, we’ve seen major policy announcements, a dramatic shift in interest rate expectations, and a palpable change in buyer behaviour on the ground.

In the episode Jarrod explores what’s really happening, and what it means for Melbourne property investors.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

The latest election policies from both major parties – and why well-intentioned schemes often push prices higher, not lower
How interest rate expectations have transformed, with markets now pricing in multiple cuts by year’s end and what this means for buyer confidence
Real auction case studies showing a surge in competition and renewed momentum across different property types
Why Melbourne remains undervalued compared to other capitals
How the ‘flow-on effect’ from intense competition for premium properties is driving activity across all price brackets.
