Ep. 58: August Property Market Update – PROPERTY MARKET COOLING?

In Episode 58, Damien and Jeremy break down the latest July market data across Australia and examine where conditions are strengthening, slowing or beginning to shift.

They compare houses and units across the capital cities using DSR, market cycle timing, stock on market, days on market, yields and recent price movements, with Darwin continuing to stand out while Perth remains strong but further through its growth cycle. The episode also looks at rising stock levels, softer buyer sentiment and why units are currently holding up better than houses in several markets.

The discussion highlights the importance of looking beyond national headlines, with some markets cooling while others still offer strong demand, affordability and growth potential.

The takeaway is simple. Property conditions are becoming more mixed, so investors need to focus on the individual market, the data and their own time horizon rather than assuming the whole country is moving in the same direction.
