đź“Ť Where will Australia's next wave of housing demand come from?

Population projections highlighted in Cotality's latest report offer some valuable insights.

Over the ten years to 2034–35, Australia's major capitals are projected to add:

🏙️ Melbourne: 938,000 residents

🏙️ Sydney: 749,000 residents

🏙️ Brisbane: 470,000 residents

🏙️ Perth: 450,000 residents

Melbourne is expected to experience the largest increase in population numbers, while Perth is projected to have the highest percentage growth of these four cities.

For property investors, population growth is one of several indicators worth watching.

But the real question isn't just where people are moving.

It's whether housing supply, infrastructure and employment opportunities will keep pace.

Understanding tomorrow's demand can help inform today's investment decisions.

đź’¸ Property prices and rental prices are moving in different directions.

While national dwelling values remained unchanged over the 12 months to September 2026, rental rates increased by 5.5%.

Some of the strongest rental growth was recorded in:

đź“Ť Darwin: +11.6%

đź“Ť Perth: +8.0%

đź“Ť Hobart: +8.0%

đź“Ť Brisbane: +6.4%

For property investors, this highlights the importance of looking at rental performance alongside capital growth.

A property that delivers reliable rental income can help support holding costs, particularly in periods of slower capital growth.

But rental growth varies considerably between markets, and past performance isn't a guarantee of future returns.

Invest for the numbers, not the headlines.

đź’° There's an interesting shift happening in Australia's investment property market.

The national gross rental yield has climbed to 3.85%, its highest level since August 2019.

What's driving the change?

While property values have been falling, rents have continued to increase, rising 5.5% nationally over the past year.

Regional markets are also offering higher average yields than the combined capitals:

🏡 Regional Australia: 4.3%

🏙️ Capital cities: 3.7%

For investors focused on cash flow, rental yields are an important part of the equation.

However, higher yields don't always mean better investments. Vacancy rates, tenant demand, holding costs and future growth prospects need to be assessed together.

A good investment needs to work beyond the headline yield.

⏳ The days of properties selling almost immediately may be behind us, at least for now.

The national median time on market has increased to 41 days, compared with just 26 days a year earlier.

Across the capital cities, properties are spending a median of 39 days on the market, the longest recorded in Cotality's five-year series.

What does this mean for property investors?

More time to undertake due diligence, assess comparable sales and potentially negotiate more favourable purchase terms.

But not every property sitting on the market is a bargain.

Sometimes it's overpriced. Sometimes there are underlying issues. And sometimes, there's a genuine opportunity.

Knowing the difference is where experienced property advice becomes valuable.

🏡 The balance of power in Australian property is shifting.

According to Cotality, the median vendor discount across Australia's capital cities has widened to 4.4%, the largest discount recorded in the past five years.

That's up from 2.9% a year earlier.

With homes taking longer to sell and more properties available, buyers may have greater scope to negotiate.

But there's a difference between negotiating a discount and buying a property below its true market value.

Understanding what a property is actually worth, how long it's been on the market and the seller's circumstances can make all the difference.

The purchase price matters. So does the strategy behind it.

This is the type of market where independent advice matters. Values are falling nationally. Some cities are still recording double-digit annual growth. Regional markets are outperforming capitals. Rental yields are increasing. Stock levels are rising. And buyers have more negotiating power.

In other words — the market is fragmented.

And fragmented markets can create opportunity for investors who understand what they’re looking for.

At Suburbanite, our property investment decisions are research-led and valuation-backed.
👉We don’t work for developers
👉We don’t sell property
👉We work for the buyer

Because in a market like this, what you buy matters far more than simply deciding to buy.

Our Principal, Anna Porter, recently featured on Channel 7's Sunrise to discuss how Australia’s housing pressure is becoming harder to ignore.

39% of mortgage holders are already experiencing mortgage stress, while 1 in 5 say they may need to sell their home if interest rates rise another two times.

Renters are feeling it too, with 36% experiencing rental stress, while around half of 18–29 year olds are still living with their parents because they don’t feel they can afford to move out.

At the same time, Opteon has reported a 28% increase over the past year in mortgagee-in-possession valuation requests from lenders — a concerning sign that more households are falling behind on their repayments.

These aren’t just statistics. They point to growing financial pressure across Australian households.

Another rate rise could have serious consequences for families already stretched by mortgage repayments, rent and the rising cost of living.

The next RBA decision won’t just move the cash rate — for some households, it could determine whether they can afford to stay in their home.

Rental yields are moving higher again.

Cotality reports the national gross rental yield has risen to approximately 3.85% — its highest level since August 2019.

Rents are continuing to rise while dwelling values have been trending lower.

But investors need to look beyond gross yield.

Interest costs, insurance, maintenance, strata and other expenses can significantly change the real cash-flow position of an investment.

A property advertising a strong yield isn’t necessarily a strong investment.

Yield is one part of the equation. Asset quality, location, growth potential and risk matter just as much.

The market is changing — and so is the balance of power.

Across the combined capital cities, total advertised housing inventory is now 23.1% higher than a year ago, despite the number of new listings coming to market being 9.2% lower. Why?

Properties simply aren’t selling as quickly! The median selling time across the capitals has increased from 23 days to 39 days.

For buyers, that can mean:
👉more choice,
👉less competition,
👉less urgency, and
👉potentially stronger negotiating conditions.

Periods of weaker sentiment can create opportunities — but only if you know which assets are genuinely worth buying.

A softer market doesn’t automatically make every property a good investment.
