Property investing isn’t about perfectly predicting what happens next month - or even next year. 🏡📈

The goal is to build wealth over the long term.

If you’re planning to hold a property for 10+ years, short-term market movements become far less important than buying the right property, in the right location, with the right strategy.

Yet many buyers stay on the sidelines waiting for prices to fall “just a little more.”

The problem? That means trying to predict the market - and no one can consistently know exactly where prices will be six months from now.

Instead of trying to pick the absolute bottom, focus on the fundamentals and whether the property supports your long-term goals.

Because successful property investing isn’t about getting the timing perfect.

It’s about having a strategy you can stick with.

Nobody agrees about 29 September.

Ten of twelve economists expect a hold. Markets are pricing a 54% chance of a rise. NAB says September, CBA says November, Westpac says not this year.

If you’re waiting for the picture to get clear, understand what you’ve signed up for.

Meanwhile your borrowing power fell about $35,400 since January regardless.

When selling your property, it’s important to go in with realistic expectations.

Know your ideal sale price, understand your walkaway number, and be clear on the figure you’d genuinely be comfortable accepting.

A good agent shouldn’t just tell you the number you 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 to hear. They should give you an honest, evidence-based view of what your property is worth in the current market.

Because choosing the agent who promises $1.3M when the realistic range is closer to $900K–$1M doesn’t guarantee you’ll achieve that price.

The right strategy starts with realistic expectations - and the right advice from the beginning.

Thinking about selling? Make sure you’re working with people who will give you clarity, not just the biggest number.

Advice I needed at 25. None of it is about picking the right suburb.

✅Decide what you’re doing before you start doing it
✅The bank’s maximum is a ceiling, not a target
✅Ask the uncomfortable question - I asked about the schools, not why it had been listed twice.
✅And don’t take structural advice from someone with no stake in the outcome.

I didn’t need more information at 25. I needed someone who’d already made these mistakes to say them out loud.

Been to 60 open homes and still haven’t landed a house? You’re not doing it wrong - but there might be one fix.👇

When it’s your 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲, you’re inexperienced by definition. No training, no practice - it’s the first time you’ve ever done this. That’s not a criticism, it’s just reality.🏡

So if you’ve been to 60 opens with no luck, one of two things is happening: either it’s a genuinely 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆, 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁, or you simply haven’t found the one that ticks your boxes yet. Both are normal.📋

But here’s John’s key point for a hot market👇

Play it too safe with a low opening bid, and you fall second or third in line - which is exactly what keeps happening to buyers who lowball out of habit. By the time you circle back with a stronger number, the property’s gone.⏳

In a heated market, holding back doesn’t protect you. It costs you the house.💪

Know your numbers, know your ceiling, and lead with your best foot forward.

A bank tells you what you can borrow. It does not tell you what you can hold.

1.53 million Australian mortgage holders are now At Risk of mortgage stress - 1.06 million extremely so - and almost none of them bought badly.

They bought at their maximum in a year when the maximum felt fine.

What have I done? I’ve paid $50k too much.”😬

If you’ve ever felt that after buying - this one’s for you.👇

John’s point isn’t that overpaying is always a mistake. It’s about 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻.🏡

Picture a heated market: 30 people at the open home, everyone competing, emotions running hot. You win… but you might’ve paid too much. Then the market goes flat, you look back, and it stings.📉

Here’s how John frames it👇

That property still 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 in the first place. You just happened to buy it with a lot of competition around you. And the good news? 𝗔 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 - 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗮𝘆.⏳

The real skill is knowing two things at once: what you want in your emotional home today, AND forecasting what you’ll want in the next 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱. Hold both, and you understand the decision you’re actually making.🎯

Because this is a big call - and unchecked emotional purchases are exactly what have people 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱.⚠️

Buy for the strategy and the long game, not the adrenaline of the auction floor.

Where are you actually stuck?

1️⃣ I don’t know what I don’t know.
2️⃣ I know the theory, can’t apply it.
3️⃣ I’ve got a specific decision in front of me.
4️⃣ I need someone in my corner for months.

They need completely different things, and only one costs real money.

Rachelle put John on the spot - quickfire, no hesitation. Here are his answers to the property debates everyone argues about.👇

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱?
Established.🏡

𝗕𝘂𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿?
Buy now. No hesitation.⏳

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 & 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆?
P&I for his owner-occupier. Interest only for an investment. But here’s the controversial part👇 if interest only is the 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 way he could afford to get into his owner-occ - he’d take it. Getting in the door beats staying out.🔑

𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲?
Variable. But he’d go fixed in one specific situation: if there were uncertainties in his life and he simply wanted to 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 his costs. Certainty over saving a few dollars.📊

Notice the thread running through all of it? John’s answers aren’t dogma - they flex to the 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. Owner-occ vs investment. Stability vs uncertainty. Getting in vs waiting.🎯

That’s the whole point. There’s no universal “right” answer in property - only the right answer for 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 circumstances.

From 1 October, Victorian agents must publish the vendor’s actual reserve at least seven days before auction - and if they don’t, the auction can’t proceed.

Sale prices become public too. It exists because the underquoting taskforce has fined agents $2.3m+ since 2022.
