While some agents are sitting there waiting for a rate cut miracle… the smart ones are out having conversations, winning trust, and stacking listings. #realestatetraining #mindset #marketshare

Auckland’s still in the big leagues—median house prices around $1M, units lower but not “cheap.” Still below the 2021 peak, but stabilising, with some pockets showing early signs of movement. #AucklandProperty #NZRealEstate #HousingMarket

Anyone who thinks restricting negative gearing won’t hit investors is ignoring the obvious — it cuts borrowing power, slows demand, and squeezes the rental market all at once. #negativegearing #propertymarket

Christchurch is that quiet achiever at the party who doesn’t say much… but owns the house you wish you bought. While other cities are busy flexing prices, Christchurch is over here serving up backyards, parking, and a lifestyle that doesn’t require financial therapy. It’s practical, it’s grounded, and honestly… it’s the kind of place where your dog probably ends up with a better quality of life than you had in Auckland. #Christchurch #PropertyInsights

Don’t pick the agent with the highest price—pick the one with the clearest plan. Anyone can quote a number, few can show how they’ll get it. Join the Real Estate Gym FB group facebook.com/groups/RealEst… #PropertyMarket #RealEstateTraining

Strip investor incentives and they don’t stick around—they exit. Less supply, higher rents, and a jammed market. NZ proved it: tax changes froze volumes and pushed rents up. You don’t fix supply by scaring off suppliers. #PropertyMarket #HousingCrisis

If new developments receive favourable tax treatment, investment will likely shift toward new supply. However, this can take a long time to happen so in the short term rents to skyrocket. #propertymarket #investmentproperty

Belmore has quietly shifted—houses ~$1.9m, units $500K–$750K. Buyers priced out of the inner west are moving in. It’s no longer “next”… it’s happening. Missed Marrickville? Watch Belmore—strong bones, real upside. #realestateaustralia #belmore

Want the right agent? Do your homework. Follow them, check reviews, Google them. Then ask: What if there’s no interest in 2–3 weeks? When have you advised a price drop? How do you give honest feedback? What if we disagree? What could go wrong? #realestateaustralia #auction

Queenstown isn’t playing in the same league. Houses $1.65M–$1.8M, townhouses $900K–$1.2M, premium $2M–$5M+. Not for first-home buyers—this is business owners, execs & investors buying lifestyle, views & status. #RealEstateNewZealand #Queenstown

Will history repeat itself? Between 1985 and 1987, the government removed negative gearing, rents surged as investors exited, and within two years, they reversed the policy after the rental market came under pressure #realestateaustralia #realestatemarket #propertymarket

The Biggest Tax Reform in Living Memory! A trust is basically a structure where the income doesn’t sit in your personal name. It sits in the trust, and each year, that income can be distributed to different people in the family. So instead of one person earning everything and paying top tax, it gets spread out. This is how the wealthy pay less tax - legally. The advantage is simple. You can legally reduce the overall tax by allocating income to people on lower tax rates. That’s why people who’ve got good advice and set things up properly have been able to keep more of what they earn, while also adding a layer of asset protection at the same time. #australianeconomy #budget #trustfund

NO FEE? Great agents don’t win listings with promises; they win outcomes with process, buyers, and negotiation. #commission

In suburbs like Lakemba and Wiley Park, the ratio can exceed 190–300 single men for every 100 single women, making them some of the most male-skewed areas in the country. Nearby hubs such as Auburn also show a strong concentration of single men. In contrast, Sydney’s eastern and lower north shore suburbs show the opposite trend. Areas like Woollahra, Double Bay and Mosman can have as few as 50–70 men for every 100 single women, indicating a significantly higher proportion of single female residents. #realestate #sydneyproperty #marketinsights #buyersmarket #realestatetips

Current guidance suggests shares are unlikely to be impacted, while the position on commercial and industrial property remains unclear. #negativegearing #realestateaustralia

The 5% deposit schemes boosted demand and pushed up entry-level prices, while supply is still tight due to rising building costs In uncertain markets, the biggest opportunity is hiding inside the chaos LIVE on @2GB873 #realestatemarket #PropertyMarketUpdate #RealEstateNews

Right now in Queensland, the market is splitting in two: entry-level and affordable homes are still moving fast, driven by strong demand and buyer accessibility, while the higher-end properties are slowing down, with fewer buyers, longer days on market, and more negotiation. It’s not one market anymore… It’s two playing by very different rules. Here is what I do 3 days a week in my life around Australia and New Zealand #brisbane #brisbanerealestate
