That’s a wrap on CPA Congress 2026!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand in Melbourne last week. It was great to see such a strong turnout and to chat about valuations, the property market and how we support accountants and their clients.

Thanks to Michael McNulty, Ashley Choy, Tim Muir and Nicole Quincy for representing Opteon on the ground, and to Sonkaya for organising our stand and promo items.

And thank you CPA Australia for having us.

What does the RPV to CPV journey actually look like? Swipe through ➔

It’s part of something bigger. Opteon’s career pathway runs the full distance – from Graduate to Certified Practicing Valuer, with RPV to CPV as a defined stage along the way.

Here’s how we support valuers every step, including what’s covered (study leave, API membership, admission fees and compulsory modules).

What comes after CPV? And if people leadership isn’t for me, what are my options?

We hear versions of those questions a lot, so we’ve put the answers in one place. Career Pathways shows how a career at Opteon can grow, whether you want to lead a team or become the person colleagues call when a job gets complicated. Or maybe your valuation experience is heading somewhere you didn’t expect.

Adam Gardner started as a valuer in regional Victoria and is now our Senior Manager of Business Improvement & Change. Avella Taylor joined us as a graduate valuer in Perth and now runs our New Zealand operations. Luke Hovey went from our IT help desk to Residential Valuer.

In a low-confidence market, vendors pull stock. Fewer listings. Less supply.

The counterintuitive result? That scarcity actually works in favour of vendors who do commit to selling.

As Darren Curtis from Forbes Global Properties puts it in Episode 3 of Opteon's Prestige Property Insights Series:

"Buyers, weirdly, the more money you have to spend, the less you have to choose from."

The inquiry is still there. The confidence isn't. For vendors with a genuine reason to sell and realistic price expectations, conditions are more favourable than the sentiment suggests.

In a soft market, reducing your asking price feels like the obvious move.

Darren Curtis from Forbes Global Properties disagrees and makes a compelling case in Episode 3 of Opteon’s Prestige Property Insights Series.

His view: once a property starts cutting, buyers read it as a signal to wait. Bring it from $10m to $9m, and they’ll hold out for $8m. Hold the headline and force the offer instead, give the vendor something real to respond to.

"If you start reducing your asking prices, you’re actually rewarding buyers for waiting."
For valuers, this matters. Time on market and price adjustments are part of how we read comparable sales. Understanding the strategy behind them makes for a more accurate opinion of value.

When Sunrise looked at mortgage stress last week, Opteon data helped tell the story.

Property advisor Anna Porter joined the program to talk about how this year’s rate rises are landing for households. One figure she shared came from our latest Opteon Insights report: mortgagee in possession valuation orders are up 28% on a year ago.

These valuations are ordered when a borrower can no longer meet repayments and the lender needs to value the property before selling it. Each one is a household that’s run out of room.

With two RBA meetings left before the end of the year, it’s a number we’ll be watching closely.

Thanks to Anna for bringing our data to a national audience.

Why does one shop lease quickly while the one next door sits empty? It rarely comes down to the economy. We walk through the five property-level factors our valuers look at on New Zealand high streets, from frontage to re-letting speed.

When the proposed CGT changes* were announced, one date quickly stood out for property investors, 1 July 2027.

Our Managing Director, Scott Chapman, joined The Real Estate Podcast to explain why. A property’s market value on that date may help determine how future gains are treated, and investors can choose between a professional valuation and the ATO’s fallback calculation.

The catch? As Scott puts it, “Properties do not grow in a straight line.” A formula built on averages may not reflect what actually happened in your market.
