In this episode of Property Soup:

Allan and Travis are back for 2026—and they’re tackling the big question every investor is asking right now:

What’s going to happen to the property market?

With rising interest rates, global uncertainty, job insecurity, and increasing living costs, it’s easy to think a market crash is coming… but is it really?

They break down what’s actually happening behind the headlines—and what it means for you as an investor.

Here’s what we cover:

📉 Will Property Prices Crash? – Why a true “crash” is extremely unlikely (and what actually happens instead)

📊 Supply vs Demand Reality – How low stock levels and a growing population are keeping pressure on prices

⛽ Global Events & Inflation – How interest rates, inflation, and even petrol prices impact property

🏘️ The ‘Foundation’ Market Explained – Why entry-level properties under ~$700k are still insanely competitive

🔥 Real Buyer Competition – What’s actually happening on the ground right now (hint: multiple offers everywhere)

📈 3 Market Scenarios for 2026 – Crash, flat, or boom… and which one is most likely

🎯 Takeaway:

Waiting for the “perfect time” could cost you years. The data shows demand isn’t going anywhere—and the longer you sit on the sidelines, the harder it gets to enter the market.
