LET'S VISIT THIS IN 12 MONTHS TIME... 🤓 🔮 PROPERTY PREDICTIONS 2026 - READ THIS BEFORE THE MARKET MOVES WITHOUT YOU 2026 will not reward optimism. It will reward preparation, precision, and local intelligence. LET’S BEGIN 👇 1️⃣ Melbourne markets continue to bleed Expect a further –7% to –10% decline, led by new-home estates and outer-ring suburbs – what were once the appetite of investors. Oversupply 🏘️, policy pressure ⚖️, and local social change 🏫👮‍♂️ haven’t finished playing out. Add to that: 👉 THE Great Victorian Exodus Investors exit, SMEs quietly follow, and families relocate for safety, schooling, and employment. 2️⃣ 30%–40% of real estate offices may disappear This won’t be a reshuffle - it will be a cull ⚡ • Small independents forced to merge just to meet cost pressures • Predominantly permanent closures ❌ WHY? Death by a Thousand COSTS 💸: • AML compliance • Cyber security obligations • Rising commercial rents • Franchise fees • Higher insurance costs • HR blowouts FEWER SALES TRANSACTIONS than 2025 - crushing hope - just to keep doors open 👉 2026 is not “business as usual.” Scale, systems, community, and cashflow survive ✅ 3️⃣ Sydney prices rise again: 7% to 10% * Despite sentiment. * Despite headlines. * Despite social media noise. DEMAND STILL WINS. Sydney remains the flavour of the year for buyers and investors alike 🏙️ 4️⃣ Select Sydney pockets outperform: 10% to 20% This will not be uniform. Local, on-the-ground knowledge beats: • Generic forecasts • National averages • AI-only predictions 🤖 • Laptop “property experts” 💻 👉 Waiting for confirmation? You’ll miss it. 👉Relying on laptop experts? You nor they know where - or what to look for. 5️⃣ The prestige market rebounds (Sydney) Capital hasn’t vanished - it’s cautious 🏰💰 Once certainty returns, top-end stock moves quickly, decisively, and discreetly 🔑 6️⃣ Auction volumes fall again 2025 volumes were already down from 2024. 2026 tightens further 📉 (Quiet truth: auctioneer fees drifting from $1,200 → $750 - tells you more than headlines 😊) 7️⃣ Total “for-sale” stock declines vs 2025 • Vendor hesitation ⏳ • Longer decision cycles 🕰️ • Fewer sellers – as many have nowhere to relocate 🏡❌ 👉 Less stock steady demand = upward pressure 🔺 8️⃣ Crypto volatility triggers capital rotation Bitcoin de-risks ⚡ →investors panic 😱 → capital rotates into tangible assets 🏘️ Property becomes the safety play again ✅ 9️⃣ Silver investors exit early → property entry before the heat • Early gains locked in 💰 • Capital preservation beats speculation 🛡️ • Yield and stability regain favour 📈 👉 Inadvertently pushing home prices higher 🏡💹 🔟 Asia-Pacific instability accelerates capital repatriation. (Rumours of a possible hot war matter - perception drives behaviour 🌏🔥) Escalating geopolitical risk fuels fear, triggering: • Expat wealth returning home ✈️ • Australian PR holders moving capital back to 🇦🇺 • Safety-first buying decisions 🛡️ FINAL THOUGHT By the time the headlines turn in favour of what you want to hear, the best property will already be gone 🚪🏡 2026 won’t reward those waiting on the sidelines. It will reward those who move early, buy well, and buy informed ✅ 📉📈 Miss the noise. Don’t miss the window.

Last time I checked it was Albo & Jim at the helm - not @PaulineHansonOz 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Questions questions & more questions Martin... Are we prepared for the 10% drop...??? Who truly has the cojones to make it happen...??? These & more questions will be raised on tonight's Monday Evening Property Rant with Martin @DFA_Analyst & I... Ironic - only one leader with balls & not a man... 😜

Warning: Property Weakness Ahead Will Have Real World Consequences… youtu.be/jzEK7bRXGcQ?si=m1Vo… via @YouTube @justthink1

The govt is spending $45m of your money researching ways to stop birds flying into giant windmills and being sliced to shreds. One solution: build the windmills higher! You can’t hate this moronic, profligate govt enough.

Diesel below $2 😘 Raise the rates… 🥸

Here's my Insider Insights vid for June

Why The Slowing Housing Market In Australia? youtu.be/qgnMqg0rjFE @justthink1

Do you think by the next election PHON will find enough credible candidates, run effective campaigns & challenge the unaparty? UK Reform/Restore have the same issue... where do all the "new" lower house candidates come from? Possible, yes. Probable... ? Early election anyone?

The pile-on of matters before the Tribunals in Sydney is blowing out to 3-6 months for formal hearings… A lot of matters are “self managed properties” and most requiring “interpreter assistance” which makes things costlier for the State & chokes the system…

And it begins... Burn Your Dreams one ship at a time... 🤨 Just don't talk about Albo in the car as you drive... PS: Dusty & Evan love Xi (just in case) 😜

CONCERNING... Over the next few months, we will be hearing about more & more matters to do with TRUST ACCOUNT FRAUD... Desperate times for agencies - means - desperate ways adopted by agencies to stay afloat... #WTS

Apart from what Martin @DFA_Analyst and I have discuss on the show - by a One Nation control of government post next election (2028) & how this WILL BE the major cliff-hanger for many property markets... The other "ponzi" that will have a MAJOR blow - will be education - adding to the long-term pain "highrise developments" will suffer... Wonder if this still holds true...???

The extra $2 per week rental increase begins @JEChalmers Oops I mean $200 extra per week…😳 $850/week - original fibro home built mid 1960’s asbestos riddled - mould infested - close to original kitchen & bathroom - electrical nightmare. WHY…?? Because they can… 🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm sure others can add to the thread... Sydney Bankstown Region... x.com/justthink1/status/2061…

Call the election ⁦@AlboMP⁩ 🤓

Tonight on the Monday Evening Property Rant - Martin @DFA_Analyst & I will continue to unravel the effects of a @OneNationAus surge in 2028 & what it may truly mean to the Property Markets across Australia... ARE WE TRULY READY...??? Not a criticism of ON rather a real observation of the main drivers of the current property price trends & how ON stands alone in debating "affordability" by including - migration (demand) & Construction (supply) in the equation... Come 2028 will... 1) Many forget the lacklustre @LiberalAus performance as an opposition...??? 2) Forget the reckless @AustralianLabor party's economic management...??? 3)Be more concerned about actual "property price drops" & dismiss One-Nation on the day..??? And simply fall back into the same-old same-old life & keep taking the punches the uni-party dish out...??? youtu.be/glNG_7aGJa8?si=AbjB…
