With recent policy changes creating uncertainty, many property investors are asking whether now is the time to make a move. However, as discussed in Episode 115 of the Propertybuyer Podcast, history shows that quality property assets have continued to reward patient investors over the long term.

While governments, policies and market conditions may change, successful investors often stay focused on long-term growth rather than reacting to short-term headlines.

👉 Listen to the full Episode 115 of the Propertybuyer Podcast, "Affordable Investing – Where to Buy Under $800k", to hear Rich Harvey, CEO & Founder & Buyers' Advocate of Propertybuyer, Jono Roy, Buyers' Advocate of Propertybuyer and Greg Willmott, Senior Buyers' Advocate of Propertybuyer, discuss whether investors should hold, sell and redeploy, or stay focused on long-term property growth.

According to Jono Roy, Buyers' Advocate of Propertybuyer, the impact largely depends on the rental yield of the property you're buying. Higher-priced, lower-yielding properties may face greater short-term cash flow pressure, while affordable properties with stronger yields are often much closer to cash flow neutrality from day one.

For investors, this could mean a greater focus on affordable markets that offer stronger rental returns and more sustainable holding costs.

As borrowing power tightens, more buyers may be pushed into the affordable end of the market. This could expand the buyer pool, increase competition and strengthen demand for well-positioned properties in the $600,000 - $800,000 price range.

Combined with stronger rental yields and improved cash flow, affordable investment properties may be better placed to weather market changes than many investors realise.

In this session, we'll cover:
• How to create a clear, long-term wealth plan, not just a collection of assets
• The power of leverage
• Where property fits within your overall financial strategy
• How to structure a sustainable property portfolio that can grow over time
• The common mistakes people make when investing without a financial plan
• How borrowing strategy, cash flow and risk all tie together
• What disciplined investors are doing right now while others hesitate
• The outlook for interest rates and unemployment
• Property market updates

It's not just about what you buy - it's about how everything fits together. The right property, without the right structure, can limit your future options. But the right strategy, applied consistently, can compound into something far more powerful over time.

If you're serious about building wealth through property and creating a holistic plan, this is the conversation most people skip - and the one that makes the biggest difference.

Rich Harvey - Buyers' Advocate, CEO, Founder at Propertybuyer, is joined by Brian Haratsis, CEO of Macroplan, one of Australia's leading property economics and strategic planning firms.

With more than 40 years of experience analysing property markets, Brian shares his insights on where Australian property is really heading and the major forces shaping the next decade. In this episode, they unpack Australia's housing supply crisis, affordability challenges, rental market pressures and whether the government's target of delivering 1.2 million new homes by 2030 is realistic.

The conversation explores the outlook for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, the impact of recent Federal Budget changes, and why planning constraints continue to drive housing shortages across the country. Brian also explains why AI, data centres, renewable energy and changing work patterns could become some of the most significant influences on property values and investment opportunities in the years ahead.

They finish with practical advice for investors, discussing how to identify future growth markets and the costly mistakes buyers continue to make regardless of the property cycle.
