LET'S VISIT THIS IN 12 MONTHS TIME... 🤓 🔮 PROPERTY PREDICTIONS 2026 - READ THIS BEFORE THE MARKET MOVES WITHOUT YOU 2026 will not reward optimism. It will reward preparation, precision, and local intelligence. LET’S BEGIN 👇 1️⃣ Melbourne markets continue to bleed Expect a further –7% to –10% decline, led by new-home estates and outer-ring suburbs – what were once the appetite of investors. Oversupply 🏘️, policy pressure ⚖️, and local social change 🏫👮‍♂️ haven’t finished playing out. Add to that: 👉 THE Great Victorian Exodus Investors exit, SMEs quietly follow, and families relocate for safety, schooling, and employment. 2️⃣ 30%–40% of real estate offices may disappear This won’t be a reshuffle - it will be a cull ⚡ • Small independents forced to merge just to meet cost pressures • Predominantly permanent closures ❌ WHY? Death by a Thousand COSTS 💸: • AML compliance • Cyber security obligations • Rising commercial rents • Franchise fees • Higher insurance costs • HR blowouts FEWER SALES TRANSACTIONS than 2025 - crushing hope - just to keep doors open 👉 2026 is not “business as usual.” Scale, systems, community, and cashflow survive ✅ 3️⃣ Sydney prices rise again: +7% to +10% * Despite sentiment. * Despite headlines. * Despite social media noise. DEMAND STILL WINS. Sydney remains the flavour of the year for buyers and investors alike 🏙️ 4️⃣ Select Sydney pockets outperform: +10% to +20% This will not be uniform. Local, on-the-ground knowledge beats: • Generic forecasts • National averages • AI-only predictions 🤖 • Laptop “property experts” 💻 👉 Waiting for confirmation? You’ll miss it. 👉Relying on laptop experts? You nor they know where - or what to look for. 5️⃣ The prestige market rebounds (Sydney) Capital hasn’t vanished - it’s cautious 🏰💰 Once certainty returns, top-end stock moves quickly, decisively, and discreetly 🔑 6️⃣ Auction volumes fall again 2025 volumes were already down from 2024. 2026 tightens further 📉 (Quiet truth: auctioneer fees drifting from $1,200 → $750 - tells you more than headlines 😊) 7️⃣ Total “for-sale” stock declines vs 2025 • Vendor hesitation ⏳ • Longer decision cycles 🕰️ • Fewer sellers – as many have nowhere to relocate 🏡❌ 👉 Less stock + steady demand = upward pressure 🔺 8️⃣ Crypto volatility triggers capital rotation Bitcoin de-risks ⚡ →investors panic 😱 → capital rotates into tangible assets 🏘️ Property becomes the safety play again ✅ 9️⃣ Silver investors exit early → property entry before the heat • Early gains locked in 💰 • Capital preservation beats speculation 🛡️ • Yield and stability regain favour 📈 👉 Inadvertently pushing home prices higher 🏡💹 🔟 Asia-Pacific instability accelerates capital repatriation. (Rumours of a possible hot war matter - perception drives behaviour 🌏🔥) Escalating geopolitical risk fuels fear, triggering: • Expat wealth returning home ✈️ • Australian PR holders moving capital back to 🇦🇺 • Safety-first buying decisions 🛡️ FINAL THOUGHT By the time the headlines turn in favour of what you want to hear, the best property will already be gone 🚪🏡 2026 won’t reward those waiting on the sidelines. It will reward those who move early, buy well, and buy informed ✅ 📉📈 Miss the noise. Don’t miss the window.

In the meantime & until we go to the ballot box again - we just have to suck it up friends for the next 14 months... Don't wait on the government to reign in spending as they spend our tax dollars like drunken sailors that just docked in Sydney harbour...

JUST A THOUGHT FS-Home values won’t go down as much as many would think… The resistance point is - cost to build & renovate… Will be discussing this & more with Martin @DFA_Analyst in tonight’s evening property rant…

At some stage we just have to agree that the muppets running the asylum are just taking the piss… 🥴

Hey Siri: what do governments turn to when the people start going hungry…??? The BIG trend in China ATM - high volume of local TikTok influencers promoting “organic” do it yourself - cockroach “protein” powder as a substitute for the more expensive protein products… 🪳🪳🪳🪳 Coming to Australia soon… #vote uniparty 🥴

INTERESTING... 🧐 Over the last few weeks there have been numerous cases of EV car owners taking action against the respective dealerships "due to delays in repairs under warranty" some taking more than 5 months with no certainty "when" the vehicles could or can be fixed... Many in NCAT are surprised with the growing trend of parts "not being available" & the uncertainty when they could be fixed... As we have shared on the Monday Rants & have been warned by the Wechat Chatterers - be careful what you buy - as many EV makers are going broke in China... Just putting it out there peoples...

15% GST incoming @DFA_Analyst... xitter.cf/AussieVal10/status/211…

Aging well... Tick Tock - Tick Tock...
