Ep. 59 - How to Analyse a Property Market in 2026

In Episode 59, Damien and Jeremy revisit how property investors should analyse markets in 2026 and whether anything has fundamentally changed over the past few years.

They cover the role of supply and demand, how DSR 3 is used to assess investment potential, why relying on a single metric can be dangerous, and how factors such as population growth, yield, recent data and statistical reliability should actually be interpreted.

The episode also looks at how investors can avoid over filtering, how to assess the right property within a strong suburb, and why land to asset ratio still matters when choosing what to buy. Using historical examples, they show how high and low ranked markets performed over different time periods and explain why strategy, price point, time horizon and risk profile should guide how you use the data.

The takeaway is simple. Better investing comes from combining the right data, understanding what it actually means and avoiding the temptation to build a strategy around one favourite metric.
