I coined the term “slingshot effect” several years ago to illustrate how downturns occur even when there’s an underlying shortage of properties. This is when astute buyers snap up the bargains until they’re all gone, and buyers then have to compete for higher-priced properties. Fear of missing out draws in hesitant investors, and median prices shoot upward rapidly like a released slingshot.

Property tenure in Australia

Did you know that only one quarter of residential property is investor owned? Most properties are owned or being purchased by their occupiers, who seek security and lifestyle rather than rental yields, cash flow or capital growth.

A common renovation trap

Manufacturing growth through renovation seems an easy three step process: Buy the right property, do the right reno and then sell for the best price.

But the most common trap is not allowing for possible market driven price falls during your hold period, because they can wipe out your expected profit.

Here's my June Insider Insights

Our latest report reveals seventy-one suburbs which are likely to experience strong price growth, increasing cash flows and higher rental yields in spite of or even because of the budget.

Rather than join the litany of experts complaining about the impact of the recent Federal Budget on property investors, I took a totally different approach.

Using our highly accurate predictive database, I conducted a “what if” analysis to determine which suburbs and towns are likely to see more buyer and renter demand as a direct result of the recent Budget changes.

Which suburbs had the strongest growth in 2025

According to PropTrack published data, Sydney’s median housing prices only rose by 5.8% during 2025 while growth in Melbourne was just 4.8%.

Yet, as the table shows, much stronger price growth occurred in Sydney and Melbourne’s cheapest suburbs and this trend was repeated in every capital city. Last year’s best performers were the most affordable suburbs!
